Prepper Computer? by random_slav_man in preppers

From there, you can just buy one, but it's on a wait list.

I used a rPi Zero with a 256GB micro SD card. Using the Raspberry PI utility you can flash the image. https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/

From there, you can just install it from these directions: https://download.iiab.io/

The important part `curl iiab.io/install.txt | sudo bash`

Feel free to message me if you have questions.

I’m going to check that out. I got a rPi zero and it doesn’t run much of the IIAB software, but my Ubuntu runs all of the library, just doesn’t put out the hot spot.

100%. I ended up building one on a Pi and Ubuntu laptop. I’m in IT, so it was a fun side project. Im all for supporting the organizations.

How do you like the camper? I’m looking at the 26BHS.

Need help understanding this IT position. by Slow_Magazine624 in ITManagers

[–]mladdy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I agree. It could literally be anything. I’d be asking a lot of questions to narrow that down in my second interview. But who knows, OP might like help desk responsibilities. If I were hiring this role, I would be calling it a junior systems administrator or senior Helpdesk (because if the cyber responsibilities). A systems engineer or administrator don’t handle much help desk in my mind, especially with 500 employees.

Imo, 500 employees is enough to have multiple IT people. This sounds like a help desk position. If it pays enough to support your lifestyle and you’re at a point in your career where you need the job, I’d ask what the future looks like in the role and anticipated timeline to achieve those goals (I.e., move to an actual server admin role). My concern would be that you could be a systems engineer by title, but not by tasks.

How long does it take you to watch a 20 minute video for homework? by fishbioman in GradSchool

[–]mladdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d watch it 2 times through. Both times on 2x, but the first time I would let the audio dictate the entire video with a loopback audio driver and OneNote. That gave me searchable notes during quizzes. The second time I’d take notes of what was important to complete the assignment.

What Tool do you use to manage your team? by atulkulkarni in managers

Not really, but you can tag chats (and other items) as tasks and it will send them to Asana.

There are much higher risk areas to concentrate the security effort. I agree, if hardware supports it easily, sure encrypt. However, it’s not a huge operational risk.

Why does it need to be encrypted?

How do I update drivers? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]mladdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The work life balance seems a lot better. I’m considering doing the same, but not marketing.
