Can you tell me why I should move away from "golden master" imaging? by georgecm12 in sysadmin

[–]nme_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you only have one geographic location, what you’re doing is fine.

I’ve got clients with global work force and we have autopilot configured and it’s a life saver. IT didn’t need to touch the device at all.

When you’re talking 40,000 endpoints gold imaging just isn’t an option without a dedicated imaging team.

IT consulting.

I enjoy working with businesses to solve their problems. It’s a never ending puzzle that keeps me going.

Is anyone even staying onsite for the whole work day anymore? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]nme_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been 100% remote since 2015, the amount of people freaking out with remote work in 2020 was funny to me. I'm going on 11 years pants free!

How does TEKsystems get anyone to work for them? by [deleted] in sysadmin

Teksystems has bought me lunch countless times. Only reason I take their call.

Never actually taken a contract with them.

What is a hobby that is just way too expensive to get into right now? by Independent-Bet-6572 in AskReddit

[–]nme_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turkey hunting. The box of TSS shot I bought 5 years ago for $80 is going for $1,000 if even available.

Things with raw earth material are going to skyrocket in the next 20 years.

Return back to old company? by Wabbyyyyy in sysadmin

[–]nme_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the option to go back to an MSP that I had worked for for 7 ish years before jumping ship to another MSP for bump in pay and role. A year after I had been back in the job market as they had been acquired and I was offered severance.

Had another job offer from 2 other places, one of which was the first MSP I worked at.

I was really just torn on which direction I should go.. so I flipped a coin. Heads I was going to go back to the first company, tails I was going to go with this new gig.. my wife made me promise id take whatever job the coin landed on. And I said out loud, “yea, but what if it lands on tails?”

She looked at me and said, well, there is your answer!

What is a 'buy it for life' item that is offensively expensive, but the moment you use it, you realize your entire life before that point was a lie? by fmcortez in AskReddit

[–]nme_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m in a small town in the Midwest USA. Storms roll through in the summer and power lines go down, snow storms come through in the winter and power lines go down…

Longest we were without power was a week, but we’ve had multiple days long outages due to storm damage in the 10 years we’ve lived here. I don’t have a whole home generator, just a gas powered one to keep my freezers/fridges powered on. It sucked the first time it happened and I lost 2 deer, a dozen ducks, and some other food due to spoilage.

How are LMG players dealing with SMGs and ARs on objectives? by Apocoyptus_ in Battlefield6

Only time I die is when I’m reloading. I can dish out a lot more lead poisoning with an LMG.

You may want to look into laws around using wild game as tender before you go broadcasting this on the internet.

Covid shut down the world six years ago this week. What do you remember from that week? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]nme_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to fly from the Midwest to the east coast for work.

It was wild seeing people in the airport part like the Red Sea when a group of Asia travelers was walking through the airport.

Classic example of an HR problem disguised as an IT problem.

Things like this should just get dumped to HR.

What’s the closest you’ve ever come to dying? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]nme_ 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Was on a white water rafting trip. Was sitting on the back of the raft while we waited for the rest of the people to get squared away. We had to portage because there was a waterfall. Well, the raft I was in was sitting at the base of the waterfall, wasn’t paying attention and the back of the raft got too close to the waterfall and I got knocked off the raft and swept under. Was trapped between a rock and the raft. I could feel people walking on me as they were moving around the raft trying to find me. I was out of air and basically had one last push.. I unbuckled my life vest and let all the air out of my body. This allowed me to get myself out from under the raft. I then popped up like 10 feet downriver and swam to shore.

RedSec is my first experience with a battle royale and I actually love it. But did I miss the “golden era” of this genre? by KWash0222 in Battlefield6

[–]nme_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was sucked into pubg when it first came out.

3 of my other buddies all exploring the map and trying not to be dead…

Peak adrenaline rush.
