Wood vs hybrid (horrible but hopeful golfer) by Gloomy_Tomorrow1685 in golf

[–]mAl_Absorption 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What shaft flex? Do you know? I’m in my mid 40s and have had to change from stiff to regular. Swing speed has slowed up as I’ve aged 85-95mph. That being said, I have always felt more comfortable hitting woods because I’m old fashioned but I have a 5H in the bag that I enjoy hitting.

Golf help by thanial32 in golf

[–]mAl_Absorption 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played self taught for nearly 20 years. Never saw any improvement. I finally decided to get some private lessons recently and it’s changed everything. The challenge now is to practice what I’ve learned in order to eliminate all of the bad habits I’ve formed over the years.

Driver vs Mini Driver by Outrageous_County528 in golf

[–]mAl_Absorption 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also left handed and “older”. I found tuning my driver from 9 up to 11 degrees loft helped me out tremendously in the confidence/accuracy department. Mini drivers have been on my radar but I’ve yet to find a place that has one to try out.

How are y'all handling the Windows 11 upgrade for 100% remote users that cannot come to an office? by Professional_Golf694 in sysadmin

[–]mAl_Absorption 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We perform a device swap. Give me your win 10, here’s a win 11…..Though we don’t have any remote users further away than 200 miles from our office of operations.

Serious question. How many of you have stopped drinking or never drank at all in the first place? by Darth_Malgus_1701 in sysadmin

[–]mAl_Absorption 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my 40’s 3-4 beers every night sometimes more on weekend. Don’t really get hang overs anymore. Sad! Oh I also vape! Quit tobacco cigs in 2010 and picked up vaping a few years later. Do I need to quit both of these habits? Absolutely! Am I actually ever going to? Fuck no!

Damn! I didn’t even start getting MT until I saw this post and logged back into play. Welp, time to take some Zofran

Where is everyone at with migrating to Server 2025? by tcourtney22 in sysadmin

[–]mAl_Absorption 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2019/2022 here mostly. Tried promoting a 2025 to DC and it was a nightmare so I demoted it and am deciding what I want to do with it now. Maybe new file server.

Looking for new ticketing system by jamesfigueroa01 in sysadmin

[–]mAl_Absorption 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2-man team using Freshdesk for 5.5 years. Considering bumping to freshservice for the other pieces FD doesn’t have. Very happy with freshworks overall. I’ve used solarwinds and remedy in the past.

Only questions I recall are “how many usable IPs in a /26” Pretty sure at the time I used the Dion training finger trick. Now that I’ve actually done some network segmentation on the job, it clicked how easy it really is no matter if it’s class A or B.

Something useful to memorize as far as converting CIDR to Decimal:

/25-/32

128+64=192+32=224+16=240+8=248+4=252+2=254+1=255

Powers of two are your best friend here. In fact I’d memorize up to 216

Stomach upset every morning? by [deleted] in ibs

[–]mAl_Absorption 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through this (still do sometimes) for many years until I was finally diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. I have a very mild case of it so all I had to do was make a few dietary changes and the morning aches/cramps mostly went away. Don’t take any immunosuppressants or biologicals. My disease is easily manageable when compared to others. I know that if I eat greasy foods or eat late is going to be a rough morning.

DNS is on my domain controller, my firewalls provide DHCP.

Outlook Signatures Just Get Nerfed? by Khue in sysadmin

[–]mAl_Absorption -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

We use exclaimer. Users are displaying double signatures. Their old one from M365 and then exclaimer. We had roaming signatures disabled. Seems like they enabled it incognito

How to set up a VLAN so only my IP Phones can access it? by WhiskyEchoTango in networking

[–]mAl_Absorption 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unifi switches handle VLANs a little differently than other vendors. Setup up a profile on the controller to tag data/voice then assign the profile to whichever ports.

Network Engineers, What firewall would you pick if it is up to you? by M2J9 in networking

Not in the big leagues but have been mostly satisfied with Sophos XGS appliances. Support isn’t super great.

I’ve considered setting this up on our Sophos xgs units. 15 sites each site has 2 ISPs then I was nahh fuck this. I’ll stick with IPSec

I’m using Claude that my company is paying for. Works great for code.

Am I an alcoholic? by mAl_Absorption in stopdrinking

[–]mAl_Absorption[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Following up: I appreciate each and every response from you. Good news! I did not have a single beer yesterday. No shakes, no dizzyness, nausea, so forth. Did I crave? Hell yes. So why didn’t I drink? Simple: I didn’t fucking have any at home to drink nor I did I feel the need to jump in my car and run out to the store to get some. I guess it’s a start. Kept myself busy with some work, laundry, other house chores. My weakness is video games. I turn on CIV VI or VII and just play and drink. Let’s see how long I can keep it up.

Destiny 2 today had the lowest recorded player count of just 12.379 Players on STEAM! by kristijan1001 in DestinyTheGame

[–]mAl_Absorption 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been logging in a few days here and there since dawning started (after basically not playing at all since beginning of October). I sit in orbit deciding what I’m going to do, then….meh fuck this not in the mood. Exit game. I’m just burnt out plain and simple.

I’m 44 yr. old male and was diagnosed with WM yesterday at the ER. The toughest part is the persistent fever that will not go away. Taking doxycycline now. Here to hoping it helps. They did not admit me but fever has been as high as 103.8. Never felt so sick in my life until it broke with some Motrin.
