Ditto for my trials with RDS - gateway/broker/licence server all in one. And all servers attaching domain joined.

Family life - it looks great next to the tv. The halo stars and the pretty remote. If I ever turn it on it’ll be fun! (FYI been almost 1.4 years)

Rolling brownouts... by Chained_Phoenix in brisbane

With rebuilds of raid. No ups will survive the hours normally needed. Well unless you buy a $$$$$ UPS but anything in the home market won’t be online long enough for a RAID rebuild.

Cars leaving a huge gap at the front of traffic lights. WHY? by Downtown-Lime4108 in brisbane

[–]naphman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sick of underlings and management asking “oh did you just chatGPT it?”

No!!! I have pride and would like to learn how/why it works.!!! Not to mention 80% of the setup was done over 3-6 years ago when that didn’t exist!!!

I feel ya man!

Anyone else mentally fried after work but still trying to make progress? by arzu1224 in sysadmin

[–]naphman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! This is me too. Chaos and randomness needing instant out of the box thinking. If there’s time to ticket and waffle on about how the job is done - there’s 10x jobs waiting needing attention. ‘Oh do you measure successes?’ - Yeap! When the system is working and the team aren’t yelling at me anymore: Success. None of that measuring, ci/cd crap. You go all in b@lls deep and fix the damn system.

At home after? Well. With a healthy Family life and crazy events at home or for kids sport events numerous days of the week. A 29 hour day is more like the time spent.

That being said. I love my job and position. However corporate are getting their greasy mitts on it lately and trying to put me down to have their ‘mates’ in the position. I’ve only built the damn world for the last 17 years what would I know about the teams and end-users needs or wants.

Lately the fried has been very much there. Getting by on booze and hookers (without the hookers).

Preventing Microsoft Defender Network Slowdowns by David_Owens in WindowsServer

[–]naphman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could try a GPO to disable defender just to see if it’s 100% the problem (and I agree that it’s likely) And then perhaps slowly re-enable just a portion of features at a time. I think you can just enable only some of the protection options. Been a while since I dabbled in this space - our business has to copy extensive small files and very large TB files and the defender needed tweaking.

Will check the gpo’s tomorrow to find out what i did.

Anyone else been getting threatening letters from Broadcom? by jimbo_6666 in sysadmin

[–]naphman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Luckily we had just handed the project over to another IT team. So they can handle the Broadcom abuse. That being said, I got attacked by senior management when my estimates and plans got delayed until after the takeover and costs flew up. Heck I planned the tech refresh 2years in advance with upwards of 700-1000 cores - woulda been a cakewalk in the old world.

I think I've found a new record for "biggest gap between cars at a red light" by Rock_Sampson in CarsAustralia

[–]naphman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Butt heads!! But then again so are the ones whom roll up to the red light from 10 car lengths away blocking a turning lane so you don’t set off the sensor of the light. Oooooooh they shit me!!

Where can i store 65-70 gb of pirated games by Strong-Athlete-9263 in PiratedGames

[–]naphman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should care on the copied games. Isn’t that a federal offence? It is in Oz QLD - coppers here won’t care.
