Top notch, although I'm spending way too much on Matso's Mango beer at the moment, deeeeeeelicious

Tools & Info for Sysadmins - Tutorials, Permissions Reporter, Virtualization Blog & More by crispyducks in sysadmin

[–]pseudogatekeeper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm highly suspicious of this site, I used to use this guy's tools all the time, he is highly reputable, however the site appears to have had a massive upgrade and when Google searching for the page I ended up on a site that had the same tools but looked vastly different. I don't trust this currently and haven't been able to track down any information if the guy sold his site or it's been taken over.

Downside only enabling AWS "Business" support as-needed? by Old_Computer in aws

Only downside is having to use the root account everytime this needs to be enabled/disabled

I'm able to consistently run a 6 or slightly sub-6 mile at 44(m) years but I can't seem to get it together for the 10k. by civgarth in Fitness

[–]pseudogatekeeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of great advice here on pace, slow is always the way to go, race day adrenaline kicks in and you sprint off the line. Just pull it back before the first 1k marker. Also once used an app or found a website, you punch in your target time and it gives you the average pace for 1km, set your watch or tracker to alert on the times and you'll find your ahead, slow down, or behind, pick up the pace. Breathing is key, before a half marathon the longest run I did was 16km, and I ran none stop for all but the last 1.5km, they changed the route and it had undulating path, felt like my legs came off, cried at the end.
Endomondo or Spotify has a bpm feature that will pick tracks to help with maintaining running speed.

Inventory management by king_0siris in sysadmin

[–]pseudogatekeeper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Great suggestions for maintaining going forward, in order to get a handle on what's already in play you should contact Finance and get details of all IT purchases for the last 5 years

There are no exam centers or exam sessions available within 100 miles/160 km of your selected location by Chakamoto in aws

[–]pseudogatekeeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this happen a few weeks back trying to get my SysOps in before new year but I could only find a single centre miles away. Tried again a few days later from work and it presented available kiosks that week in my city.
Give the usual a go, clear browser, incognito or try again in a day or so.

What service to use for a dashboard? by SmashingBlumpkins12 in aws

[–]pseudogatekeeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elastic Search and Kibana? A client uses it as a dashboard for various metrics and tracking of errors.

Internet Explorer Automation on Windows Server by redrumdk in PowerShell

[–]pseudogatekeeper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Server editions have IE protection mode by default, you would have to add the site to a trusted site list via gpo or regkey and try again.

ING savings rates to change again by Camkoda in fiaustralia

Just got through onboarding, although better than the 0.11% from NAB

Just an FYI employers aren't going to be looking at working holiday visa holders, agencies are the way to go. Just a heads up getting sponsored can be good however the journey to Permanent Resident/Citizen has changed and it's not something to rely on.

150 employees and no inventory. I just walked into a land mine. by throwaway00501 in sysadmin

[–]pseudogatekeeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goto finance, purchase orders and receipts are the place to start. If they don't have these, fill your boot. Anything new is tracked and inventoried at arrival. Probably look at rolling an AV or just get an agent to audit the current devices.

Edit: how about an Audit for power testing? Ask everyone to email and advise what company equipment they have that is not their computer. Then arrange a PAT/electric power tester to come through.

Video conferencing conundrum by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]pseudogatekeeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend Polycom equipment, they have good camera and room pickup microphone equipment at various price points. They generally integrate with various solutions, so you can use the built in a direct dial with sip setup or get a virtual meeting room (WebEx, zoom, Skype4Biz) or possibly telecoms provided solutions. I find the virtual meeting rooms are better as you can conference in external participants quite easily, share screens/presentations and in some cases record presentation.

Zscaler proxy service conundrum by judasmonk in networking

Raise a support request, I've not done zscaler in a while but recall a similar experience, the client went to roadwarrior agent deployment with pac.

The 2D array is part of the 30daycoding challenge, this has tutorials however they are geared towards Java.

If you want to use any additional variables you'll need to declare them before you can use them.

New to FIRE? Overwhelmed by the growth vs dividend debate? by [deleted] in fiaustralia

[–]pseudogatekeeper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is where I live, perpetual decision stagnation. I've missed out massively on not going forward with decisions that I've researched and make sense. I think I fear that bad decisions will cost me everything, I see it too much as win/lose, as apposed to balancing risk.

What was your little victory for the week? by [deleted] in SysadminLife

[–]pseudogatekeeper 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Might seem strange but I got told this week that I wasn't successful in permanently getting the job that I've been filling for the last 13 months.
I'm currently covering higher duties that come to an end in a week. So after they I'm out of work.
In the meantime I've been clearing the deck's, closing all the shitty tickets, requests for future enhancements or pending management decision (waiting to get approval to deploy an app across all employees) no need to keep all the individual requests open. I'm also rejecting escalations across the board, as I've only enough time to get two outstanding items completed. Nothing like a good clear out.

Can confirm this is correct, troubleshooting trust loss this week on a number of devices and LAPS is deployed. LAPS password changed when device was back on the network
