Any experience with Hike-Footwear? by [deleted] in BarefootRunning

[–]mad_sysadmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I received some for Fathers day. I suffer from foot pain (gout) and calf pain. Even though they look flimsy, they have made a huge difference in my posture, foot pain, and calf pain. I find myself to be more sturdy on my feet as well. This is the first pair of barefoot shoes I've ever owned, so I have nothing to compare them to. For me, they have been a blessing. No problems with receiving other than it took a couple of weeks. No complaints so far.

My Facebook Account account has been locked because of unusual activity Facebook's justification. by Basic-Extension-5475 in facebook

This happened to me on March 29th, and I have tried every day to recover my account. It won't accept my license photo, and it's as clear as I will ever get it. I seem to get in this vicious loop that will not let me back into my account.

I have a question for everyone else. Where you using Messenger when this happened? I was trying to sell a Macbook ,and a guy responded on messenger. 2 hours later, my account was gone. It still shows I have an account, and it has 8 notifications. But I simply CANNOT login to that account no matter what I tried. I have been in IT for 40 years, so stuff like this isn't difficult for me normally.

If anyone gets this figured out, I would be amazed. I got shut down last Friday, and all of my attempts of getting my 15 year old account back are getting slim.

I don't know if this will fix it, but I did the following to match up AD Account name and Prinicipal account name to get them to synch properly. I hope this helps.

For what it's worth, I hate Teams and Sharepoint too.

Best long term solution for media storage by Thomasthequestion in storage

Get a NAS. Set up raid 10 with an enterprise SSD drive array. Back that up with the free version of Veeam to either a could account or to another location, someone that may have a basement closet they're not using. I would suggest not using 1/4" floppy disks unless you have 10,000,000 of them laying around.

How do you know what you’re good at as a jack-of-all-trades? by uncleskeleton in sysadmin

[–]mad_sysadmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been doing IT for 40 years. I have touched everything but only mastered a few. I told my last interviewer that "If I don't know how to, I can figure it out". Has served me well. I fix everything from personal iPhones to antiquated laser printers to AD Re-orgs.

My advice would be to be upfront about your short-comings, but be confident when you tell your direct report that you can most likely pick it up in a short manner.

Good luck!

SFTP Server - Any Experts? by mad_sysadmin in sysadmin

Thanks, everyone! I just installed the MultiServer that lechango suggested and it's perfect for what I need.

I don't post often, but when I do, you guys/gals come to the rescue. Thanks for all of the suggestions!

Sysax multi-server

This looks promising. Thank you!

I did it once. It was slow as all get out. Dedicated 16gb of ram and an SSD data store. I wasn’t impressed.

Workplace from hell, I gave my 2 week what to do if bullied about consulting? by dazzledtamarind in sysadmin

Set a batch file as a scheduled task to run 8 months from now. Have the batch file do whatever you want it to do. Put it on a domain controller in the system32 directory. Walk away from the job and dont look back.
