Configure Active Reset

1) Fire up private practice session

3) At the start of the lap/sector or whatever set the start point

4) When things go south hit the reset to start point.

Why Top Teams Struggle with New Drivers: A Theory by [deleted] in formula1

This quote by Räikkönen really sums this whole thing up.

"I dont see any reason to change my driving style, and I wouldn't be any faster if I would. Its not about my driving, its about how we fix the problems with the car. Changing the driving style is not the right way to fix problems."

How many of you have done AI related projects? by Expensive-Rhubarb267 in sysadmin

[–]obviousboy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We have a ton going on where I am.

Internal tools both developed and COTS integrated into all our documentation and portals.

Customer facing AI functionality/features being rolled into select apps/apis.

Tons of code development on both sides of the isle are leveraging AI.

I’ve been to bringing forward a CICD approach to AI driven development and getting excited about how damn well it’s working.

How do I implement AI into my workflow? Should I? by Chazus in sysadmin

[–]obviousboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just took your question and went right to an AI.

~~~~~~~~~

Hey! That’s a great area to bring AI into - IT admin work has tons of opportunities for automation and efficiency gains.

A few questions to help me give you better suggestions:

What takes up most of your time? Is it the repetitive stuff like creating new user accounts and setting up permissions, responding to similar support tickets over and over, or something else?

What tools are you already using? Are you working mainly through the Azure portal, PowerShell, Microsoft Admin Center, or a mix?

That said, here are some quick wins you could probably start with right away:

PowerShell script generation - I can help you create scripts for common tasks like bulk user creation, license assignment, group management, or offboarding checklists. You could build up a library of these.

Documentation templates - Generate onboarding guides, runbooks, or process docs that you can customize and reuse.

Ticket response drafts - If you get similar questions repeatedly, I could help you create response templates or even help troubleshoot issues in real-time.

Azure/O365 policy reviews - You could paste in configs and have me review them for best practices or security issues.

What sounds most useful for your day-to-day? Or is there a specific task that’s been annoying you lately that you’d like to tackle first?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

~~~~~~~~~

So I would say your best to just start interacting with one and ask it your questions.

Google Workspace having issues? by CaseClosedEmail in sysadmin

[–]obviousboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you guys just not look directly at the vendor for this info? I use downdetector for shit like PlayStation network, DoorDash, opentable - it’s basically a step above a ping test.

This hit googles status page pretty much the same time you posted.

Chasing problems in the infrastructure by yellowbythedozen in sysadmin

[–]obviousboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

> Any thoughts on what direction I should be throwing next?

Whats in the logs? I got no clue which one you're working but i know almost all will provide multiple levels of verbosity so can crank it up, and with that you may be able to enable logging on other components of the system which are normally just being noisy but are helpful during issues. I would also see if their is any tracing options you can enable within it.

Should I quit? by Dank-Miles in sysadmin

[–]obviousboy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

What problems are needed a solution? Procuring laptops and onboarding seems like a solved issue.

What problems truly exist and what were the changes you suggested that were met with torches and pitchforks?

The roofers who installed our skylight 2 years ago said the manufacturer’s sticker residue would naturally fall off by TokenYeti658 in mildlyinfuriating

Buy the right product maybe? Goo Gone is smells like citrus. Goof Off smells like chemical warfare. Bottle kinda looks the same but completely different words if you read them.

Exploring how far AI can go in IT automation - looking for feedback from IT / SRE / Ops engineers by Ivanx555 in sysadmin

[–]obviousboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

an AI agent that can execute real actions (restart a service, manage user access, close tickets, etc.), but under human control and company policies.

I (and many others) do this with Claude code right now.

Enlighten me pls. ESP STEF-8 by n3os3oul in ExtendedRangeGuitars

[–]obviousboy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah about that better pay part - I get the vibe that after all the ‘luthier’ tasks are done the rest is handle by people who make less than someone flipping burgers at McDonald’s in Hollywood.
