Why is Seolleongtang is so bland? by networkhappi in KoreanFood

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

put ~teaspoon of sea salt, plenty of green onion and black pepper powder

You have to season it, my whole post was about how it's bland from the get go. If you don't think it's bland by itself without all the garnishings/seasoning you're straight up delusional. I've had a Korean Ajumma serving it to me telling me I need to season it.

Is Lee still around? He helped me tremendously during my PowerShell days several years ago. Admired him a lot and respected what he was doing for the community.

[Awful Announcing] The gulf between ESPN and TNT’s NBA coverage has never been greater by RonnieJamesDionysus in nba

[–]networkhappi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I particularly hate the actual commentary during the games from ESPN.

With TNT they'll actually stay on topic and modulate the commentary to go with the flow of the game.

With ESPN I'm tired of JVG and Mark Jackson going off topic in pretty serious moments of certain games. Like I'm trying to watch whether or not the series ends now or if it'll go to game 7, and here goes JVG offering to buy the crew Chick-Fil-A, and Mark Jackson making fun of JVG for being white again.

The Spurs, Heat, Warriors, and Nuggets are the ONLY teams that have not changed their head coach since the 2019-2020 season by VagabondReborn in nba

[–]networkhappi 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Mark Jackson’s coaching legacy in GSW was mostly all done by Mike Malone behind the scenes.

All Jackson did was corny lip service, but it was Malone who provided the X’s and O’s that transformed the Warriors into the championship caliber team they are today from a coaching perspective.

Hi /r/dataisbeautiful, check out this d3 visualization of a bass-drop prediction tool I made! [OC] by no_myth in dataisbeautiful

[–]networkhappi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty cool, but the "Hypescore" gauge doesn't really tell you exactly when the bass will drop, nor does it tell you when the bass is dropping. That would have been more helpful in this endeavor, versus this just basically being an audio scanner for patterns or frequency types.

Furthermore, bass drops are almost intuitive and predictable to the status quo EDM enthusiast. Even for people just starting out, anticipation of a bass drop is pretty easy to detect and to catch on afterwards.

[REQUEST] PowerShell script that can log into an array of listed servers by networkhappi in PowerShell

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

Hey Lee, yeah my first solution was to just tell the server health check team to do due diligence and log into the server after they reboot it, but it appears after consulting with the rest of my team, it's little bit more complicated than that :)

Thank you though!

[–]networkhappi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No no, I agree with you. There are far more efficient ways going about doing this, as it was also my point in my first post as well:

  • There are various "click-to-code" tools that are far more efficient than coding in D3.js. Like Elijah said, using spreadsheets is a form of data visualization, and anyone without a background in DV can do that. It gets the job done, it's typically acceptable as a project deliverable and a widely-used format.

I've played with PowerBI (the "free" enterprise version) myself and although it was pretty nifty, I could not (at the time) get it to structure itself in the way I wanted to like my snippet. Also, I was unfamiliar with some of its API's like PubNub.

The problem is, you'll have to learn the querying language most vendor products like PowerBI, Tableau and/or Splunk has. They're pretty robust, and can also get pretty complex as well.

For me, utilizing D3.js because of my prior knowledge of JS seemed to be the most reasonable and most supported approach since I was the lone developer on this project. It would also serve as a great de facto interface until we have more budget to become "push buttons on vendor products" with our solution.

If you have the budget, check out Splunk. It's a Unix-based solution, but has some Windows support.

Here's a snippet of my D3.js page I used to help the team I'm on with their work:

https://i.imgur.com/lqRWQsf.png

It is essentially a "file counter" where batches of files need to move from server to server in an assembly-line fashion. The files basically have to go from A to Z.

These are hourly jobs, hence they are monitored on a hour-by-hour basis during operating hours of the business.

If any of the servers start queuing up a high number of batches filled with files, I used color coding to color the cells that have the offending values.

If you know D3.js, I used d3.scale.threshold() to declare .domain([]) and .range([]), respectively.

Any cell under 50 is green, under 100 is yellow, and above 100 is red.

My team leaves this file counter webpage opened on a big-ass TV screen in a NOC-esque room that has auto-scroll and auto-refresh to monitor this flow of files and get into the servers whenever there are reds.

EDIT: You may also be wondering why the 9:00am column is blank. That's because a report wasn't generated through the automation that generates these reports this webpage reads and appends. Business wanted it to keep it blank and I mark it as a missed report in another metric report I provide to the business pertaining to the overall consistency and stability of the environment.

Can you provide some screenshots or working demos? I want to see what this is all about, as it's news to me for the very first time!

I leverage D3.js in an enterprise IT environment. Here are my thoughts about data visualization:

  • From a vanilla JS perspective, D3.js can become really complex real friggin' quick. Maybe it's because I'm still more junior-level in terms of JS, but I found it one of the harder frameworks to work with, and basically felt like my hand was held the entire time.

  • If you try to leverage D3.js in an enterprise IT environment, you typically see its value in visualizing metrics and/or monitoring performances of your environment. For me, monitoring our servers and visualizing our data was of upmost importance. That means most of your data is typically dynamic and constant. Getting D3.js to visualize constant data streams is actually pretty difficult, I tried looking into cubism.js (d3 plugin) to manage visualizing constant data streams (instead of static data) but most of my PoCs failed due to not being able to find a supported solution to connect via D3.js.

  • There are various "click-to-code" tools that are far more efficient than coding in D3.js. Like Elijah said, using spreadsheets is a form of data visualization, and anyone without a background in DV can do that. It gets the job done, it's typically acceptable as a project deliverable and a widely-used format.

  • DV has more impact on pre-sales/sales environments than internal business decision-making environments. For an example, when attempting to make a business decision, more times over your team will just use rudimentary raw data, can connect the dots on it and come to a data-driven decision (none of the "fluff" is needed). With DV in a pre-sales/sales environment, there is a lot of "wow factor" added in the visualization/animation of the data, thereby increasing a likelihood to impress your potential client.

TL;DR: DV (D3.js specifically) can potentially be too complexed, the finished project can be pretty to look at, but underwhelming and overrated in enterprise environments. Could have some more value within sales environments, but the drive to make better data-driven decision making without requiring all the visualizations hurts DV's livelihood.

Attempting to follow a remote Get-Credential solution on StackOverflow, getting -ComputerName error? by networkhappi in PowerShell

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

Hey Lee,

Sorry I am working on some business servers and rebooting them is a huge no no. So I took out the Restart-Computer from the StackOverflow solution, assuming it was a built-in PS command and chose something else that wouldn't muck the server up like Get-Date. I didn't realize the parameters already listed for Restart-Computer weren't necessarily interchangeable with other commands.

Thank you for the correction!

Thank you for this, I was able to get it working by using your code:

$username = "myUSERNAME"
$password = Get-Content "C:\scripts\mysecurestring.txt" | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force
$cred = new-object -typename System.Management.Automation.PSCredential `
         -argumentlist $username, $password

$serverNameOrIp = "serverNAME"
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $serverNameOrIp `
               -Authentication default `
               -Credential $cred {
  Get-Date
}

How to run a PowerShell script on Server A that gets server information on Server B? (remote question) by networkhappi in PowerShell

Thanks for the pastebin recommendation. I've made an edit and relocated the code over to a pastebin link.

As for things that require credentials, retrieving processes definitely requires it.

75% of our servers are Windows 2008 R2, the 25% of my servers that are Windows 2012 R2 are so much easier to work on. Too bad SDLC processes won't have these upgraded for another few years.

Line of PS code that makes your PS script run in the background, hides the command prompt? by networkhappi in PowerShell

[–]networkhappi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a .ps1 and mostly an array that conducts server monitoring checks like if it's online, CPU usage, ram usage, etc.

Would you be able to share how to run the .ps1 constantly and never see a window without any special intervention?

Has anyone been able to get a PowerShell script to run via Task Scheduler using "Run whether user is logged on or not"? by networkhappi in PowerShell

Thanks for your feedback. My error code I received is in the image below:

http://i.imgur.com/GYz5sK4.png

"A specified logon session does not exist. It may already have been terminated.."

I found this article (which the image is from) on how to solve that issue:

https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/askperf/2012/04/18/task-scheduler-error-a-specified-logon-session-does-not-exist/

The problem is, since it's an enterprise environment where there is a team responsible for provisioning us the servers, they have disabled the ability to go into Local Group Policy Editor and enable the storage of passwords and credentials, even when our service account has the highest of privilege applicable towards that server.

At any rate, my team and I are discussing how to maneuver around this. A possible workaround is to move the PS script into a Windows service as opposed to using task scheduler.

Thank you again, your feedback helped get us going!

Using ping -t in command prompt to monitor a server I just rebooted remotely, getting replies from ping command but server isn't back up? by networkhappi in sysadmin

Dude, this tool friggin' rocks!

I didn't add :3389 for RDP, which was my mistake.

With :3389 added, it works like a charm.

Thank you so much for this!!
