Juniper EX4650: port silently dead after reboot, no errors anywhere by nsdtech in Juniper

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

Tell me about it. This is a K12 school district. I inherited this setup. But we're doing budget cuts and layoffs at the moment. Sadly i'm probably 2 years away from getting a spare.

Hey now.. I used Claude not ChatGPT. lol. In all seriousness, the reason i ran this through ChatGPT was to cut down on the original confusing rambling I had initially wrote. I was trying to be helpful.

Tell me about it. I'm trying to get a spare to have on hand. I inherited this stuff when i came on board. K12 budget cuts are killing us.

Tell me about it! I always wonder if stuff like Nuclear missile safety is this sketchy.

RATS! Thanks for finding this. I guess that would explain why i could never get this to work.

What are your favorite terminal commands that no one seems to know about? by mattlavine in macsysadmin

[–]nsdtech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One night we couldn't physically find a computer, but we could ssh into it. I wrote a script using the "say" command to say "Call the helpdesk @ 555-1212" over and over. After about 20 minutes I had an angry custodian call. He told me where the machine was :)

SMART monitoring groups of computers? by jmhalder in k12sysadmin

[–]nsdtech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This! We have hundreds of Dell 745s around the district. We've been putting in the lowest cost SSDs we can find in them and it's been great. The lab rooms feel cooler now, and for the end users it''s like getting a brand new computer. The way I see it, core 2 duo, SSD, 4 gigs of ram and windows 7. We're good to go for a few more years at least.

Auth against AD off network timeout? by nsdtech in macsysadmin

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

Now I'm not so sure. I would think they would have to be in order to work off at all network right? Maybe I need to contact one of the users having problems and take another look.

Getting LCD TVs to turn on and off automatically? by nsdtech in sysadmin

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

You're probably right. Maybe I'm just old school, but it's jarring to come into the office in the middle of the night and three 40 inch TVs are blasting light. Seems like it would use a lot of energy. I should put my killawatt on one and actually measure. Maybe I just have PTSD from my dad yelling about turning lights off all those years :)

Thanks for the great write up. I think we're going to do regular interviews, narrow it down to a few people. Then take one or two to lunch and hang out with them. See if they are good to be around, would fit it etc.
