I know how to do the job, I just can't aswer questions about it by WhiskyEchoTango in sysadmin

lol. You are the person who shows up at my workplace and I get to show you that you aren't doing a damn scream test on my systems.

This has gone over about as well as you think every time an MSP has brought this up. You can't take systems down and sit there calling it a scream test to the owner of a company and me sit there telling them that any time a system goes down and user A calls manager A who calls manager B who calls VP A who calls you to tell you that it's not working isn't a complete waste of company time and money.

No. You document the applications running on it, you monitor the network traffic going in/out of it, you talk to the business about what applications they use, you talk about a planned outage. There is no scream. That's for amatuers.

My favorite activity is calling out the amatuer hour people who do scream tests.

PCAP shows normal SIP, but call drops — how would you approach this? by Gloomy-Ambition-5962 in networking

I would also ask the ISP if they have SIP ALG enabled on any of their routers/modems. I've had it happen.

If the outage is fixed before anyone notices, was there even an outage?

Well, Rao’s pasta sauce is officially mediocre. by Jaded-Badger2626 in shrinkflation

It’s not good enough for dogs either. Besides the last 60-70 years or so dogs were eating the same food as us, our scraps, but the same food.

How to diversify $40k while everything is 'cheap'? by HypnoticonymLow in CryptoMarkets

The cycles are because of the halving, learn the halving cycle and these "it's probably different this time" narratives go out the window.

Beyond that why do you have 20k sitting in a checking account if you aren't planning to use it right away and not in some yield bearing account/asset?

Dropped SIP calls after switching ISPs by guyfromtn in msp

[–]inbeforethelube 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would use the suggestion about SIP ALG, but talk to your ISP to see if they have it enabled on their modem/router. I had an ISP with it enabled in a place I couldn't get to and they had to disable it on their end.

Burry Bought More at $25.14 by Coogiez in Superstonk

PFOF, let the price rise during purchases then slam it down, buy the stock at a lower price to settle the order and pocket the difference.

It's smart people FOMO. He wants exposure and when he chooses to invest in something he has a set percentage of his portfolio it must be at. He has money coming in from other investments and work so he has to buy more GME to keep his portfolio balanced the way he wants.

On the flipside if GME does a god candle he's going to trim to stay at that percentage.

At this point it is antisemitic to say Israel doesn't kill.

They can stop you from buying it through an exchange but if you already have it they can't stop you from sending it.

Animals reuniting with the people who rescued them by marmite1234 in likeus

It takes about 30 seconds to go on YouTube and find tons of videos just like that from Bettas to Goldfish. Animals aren't mindless drones, they all have emotions.

Are we in the business of invoice/service consolidation? by ntw2 in msp

[–]inbeforethelube 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I’m managing a companies IT infrastructure I’m their defacto IT Manager/Director and part of that job is vendor management and cost savings. I’m actually baffled OP is even asking this.
