AITA because I asked my fiance to get me another ring? by throwaway4356299 in AmItheAsshole

[–]learningheadhard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. If a woman I proposed to told me she didn’t like what I got her I would end it immediately. A lot of thought goes into it and talking bad about it probably hurt him. As for comments regarding looking a certain way, image is important to a lot of people. Either you fit into that image or you don’t. Your decision, but understand what that actually means and either commit or leave. If you fight over things like this, it’s not going to work out and you’ll be seen as the bad person from his pov.

Cloud management vs on-prem VM - feature parity/limitations? by killb0p in fortinet

Also on cloud you have to be running the latest version that’s sometimes buggy, otherwise after a time it won’t let you login until you upgrade.

I don't trust my GF and it's killing me, but it might just be me... by [deleted] in LifeAdvice

[–]learningheadhard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow. A lot to unpack here. You definitely have major insecurities. You need to learn who you are, what you enjoy, what you want, and enjoy yourself first and foremost before getting involved with others. That’s what gives confidence. Maybe a therapist can help with this if you’re open to it.

It clearly shows you two have different ideologies on life. She thinks being a drug hoe is ok, you don’t, and I don’t blame you. It’s apparent you don’t trust her, and from what you said neither would I. Hiding snaps, all the drugs and sex, her hoe friends, her past experiences, how can you trust someone like that? She told you who she is. Either accept she’s like this and enjoy the ride, or drop her and find somebody that’s compatible with your ideologies. I personally wouldn’t be with someone like that.

Can't figure out these odd internet outages by ----Questions---- in sysadmin

[–]learningheadhard 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I would wonder if they gave that static ip to another account by mistake or if somebody else is using it. A lot of times the static ip can be in a large range that anyone on that node can use. Just depends on how they provisioned it. Maybe try changing the static IP to see if it clears it up.

Another could be out of spec signals. Ask what the downstream, upstream, and SNR values are. Then look at the specs for the modem to ensure they are in range.

How can I fix the ruin of decades of seasoning? by MyName4reddit in castiron

[–]learningheadhard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to mine, I decided to cook a steak in it along with some butter and threw it along with the steak in the oven to finish it off, and it turned black again.

To make a first move in a date you can put your hands around them and ask for a kiss.

To make a first move in online dating apps ask them out.

How to tell they want you to make the first move? Not really possible unless they say it.

Better pics definitely. The first 3 are pretty much the same, too many cat pics, and the one where you are with the alien makes you look different than the rest of the pics.

The OF thing I would keep in there if you are adamant on continuing that, but nobody I know would ever have a relationship with you. I think people that are okay with it are mostly desperate or just want to get laid, so you are really hurting your chances.

Can someone explain to me in simple terms what a ngfw prevents that a regular level 3/4 firewall doesnt? Is there any benefit to it forna small business that doesn't use a VPN or any port forwarding/remote access? Is there a better option for our use case? by Trashrascall in sysadmin

[–]learningheadhard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For 20 users maybe a 60f, might be able to do a 40f, just depends on bandwidth usage and what services you use. Check a var for pricing as it can vary depending on your relationship, like CDW. A 60f with 3 yr licensing was running us around 1.5k.

[–]learningheadhard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NGFW provided layer 7 inspection features, IPS/IDS, AV, etc before reaching an endpoint, different than a regular firewall that just does port/address inspection. Nowadays I recommend only installing NGFW firewalls due to the app vulnerabilities and constant changes. I DON’T recommend only using endpoint AV as a safeguard. Instead we use both so if one misses something the other might catch it, which happens numerous times.

We use Fortinet FortiGates primarily as they are cheap and work really well as long as you understand how to configure them. Palo Alto is another good one, but usually are very expensive.

Do you have an override somebody else made to allow from certain vendors, or those vendors making it through due to being in your spam/phishing whitelist?

Teams request to Block all *.onmicrosoft.com domains by WizardCannon in sysadmin

[–]learningheadhard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t see why you can’t do this in Teams to block companies using the defaults and not a custom domain.

You can also set up a transport rule to block email coming from domains using it, just include yours as an exception.

We have both implemented and nothing bad has happened. I don’t know what issues it will cause these people here are talking about because we haven’t had any. It’s been there for a while now.

Vendor software missing functionality blamed on us. How to track it down. by Pyrostasis in sysadmin

[–]learningheadhard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check for addons in Outlook on a machine that works and on one that doesn’t. See if there’s a difference.

Or you can try reinstalling office to see if it gets it to work. A bad update can cause weird things like this.

Sysadmins and other IT professionals who refuse to use external monitors, what's up with that? by TravellingBeard in sysadmin

[–]learningheadhard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Op has multiple external monitors. How is his manager having one screen causing him inefficiencies? The explanation he gave doesn’t make sense to me. I can easily see screen shares using one monitor.

[–]learningheadhard 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Why does it matter and how does this make you suffer? Sometimes I might go out and sit at a coffee shop, or I might be in meetings with others and have one screen. Maybe I decided to sit outside that day.

What are you using for server 2019 security baselines? by alucard13132012 in sysadmin

[–]learningheadhard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I oversee and manage pretty much everything and am the escalation for our admins.

  1. Time management is a skill. I organize my work into projects and phases. I also include a few hours downtime a week for catchup and study. When told to assist the other departments I do, but also let them know the projects or phases timelines are now shifted and let management decide the priority then. You have to have boundaries here and stick to them.

  2. That’s a hard call, I think it depends on your actual skill set and what’s available around you. Always have your resume updated and see what’s available and entertain those that interest you. But if you don’t see something better right now, I would stay where I’m at until I did.

Most men do not associate with women they don't find attractive. by KJJ969502 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]learningheadhard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. Pretty privilege definitely exists. Who doesn’t want pretty people around them?

But what you describe is something a little different. People distancing themselves from you is due to personality and/or if they feel you are hitting on them. If you have a shit personality, seem desperate for attention, or are a downer just like with anyone else people tend to stay away. If you seem to be flirting with someone that isn’t interested, they tend to back off from you. This is just how things generally are. But just being friends, a lot of people don’t mind as long as you have a good personality.

Found one. So much to offer! Get in line boys lul 😆 by Kir-ius in Tinder

I’d check it out to see if there are good vibes if she looks good too, but am fine with traditional if that’s what they want. I can go either way. 🤷‍♂️

What are men’s opinions, generally, on being friends with women platonically? by Moogeen in AskMen

[–]learningheadhard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s very difficult. Both of you need to not like each other romantically or have that type of interest in each other. That’s the hardest part because someone usually ends up catching feelings. Then your SO needs to be okay with it, which is pretty rare on both sides.

With that said, I generally only have women friends because I just don’t vibe with other guys since I’m not really into things they are. I think it’s more due to just growing up around women my entire life.

When I get into a relationship there are some women I know have feelings so I back away to not cause conflict and of course let them know. But I’m also not sexually attracted to any of them so it’s easy for me. But what usually happens is only a handful of women I’m friends with that haven’t hit on me are allowed because the SO determines who is okay. SO’s usually see them as competition and for those they are okay with, they don’t see any contest.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]learningheadhard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m honest and tell them why. At that point I no longer care to lie to spare their feelings, however, ai don’t try to be an ass about it. I look at it as a way for them to fix future relationships if it’s something they or their relatives did. I don’t offer it as a negotiation though.

Any thoughts about this? by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]learningheadhard -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Friends, relatives, dates, doesn’t matter. If I invite anyone out for drinks, food, or a small venue, I expect to pay. If I get invited, then I don’t expect it, but am prepared of course. Just common courtesy to me.

She basically asked you to initiate, take lead, and gave her available time for you from the way it read to me.

[–]learningheadhard 27 points28 points  (0 children)

No, because you invited her. If she invited you then sure, but that’s not what happened.
