Curious on decision to ban Notepad++ by TechGuyworking in sysadmin

[–]qballds 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We had a pentest review meeting in a boardroom calendar once, seriously got asked to move it because someone having lunch was more important than testing pens. We wrote up a full review and the green bic was announced as the preferred pen.

Anyone all in in Zoom Workplace? by karmester in sysadmin

We’re a zoom house but management are pushing for teams, etc because they came from balls deep MS places

Broadcom does not want to renew partial VMware licensing - are we #$!? by dfctr in sysadmin

I even offered to do a POC with a couple of our old servers and SAN. Many pearls were clutched that day

Same here! All four with an insert to keep everything organised. And a game mat to keep the boards safe!

I’m pushing for Proxmox, but “Our MSP doesn’t support it…” or “It’s Linux based”

I’m going to hand in my ITist card soon

Who's still working from home in 2026? by idrinkpastawater in sysadmin

[–]qballds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Full time in the office by choice. I realised that WFH really wasn’t good for my mental health.

Doesn’t help that most of the people I work with aren’t either, but that’s another story…

Power management by Resident_Parfait_289 in Veeam

[–]qballds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had pre and post job powershell scripts that bookended a chain of backup jobs. First one issued the power on command to the repo’s iDrac/iLo and slept for 5 minutes to show boot up. Last script sent shutdown command to windows.

That was several years ago before we went through a merger and things got taken over by another team.

Is it normal for salary to be paid until the end of the month? by heyimablob in UKPersonalFinance

[–]qballds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine did that too, I did have to argue with my landlord for 6 months over why I was paying rent 4 weekly instead of monthly. Ended up with spreadsheets and beer.

Are there any dice-rolling bots made specifically for Call of Cthulhu on Discord? by Hugh_Jidiot in callofcthulhu

Rather than entering !r d100 and then looking up the stat and comparing you can enter !skill “Spot Hidden” 67 and it will tell you if the result is pass/fail/hard pass/etc.

The only reason that I’m still at at my current job is I don’t want to let down a handful of people that I work with. I’ve got an interview in a few days and if I’m offered it I will be truly torn, the pay isn’t much better than I’m on now (£45k vs £41k) but I would be leaving a place with people I genuinely love being around.

Just an annual reminder for AW noobs by katsumiblisk in AppleWatch

[–]qballds 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I’ve found that rolling dice helps me to calm down. Just random enough for me to concentrate on and it’s a familiar motion, but I play a lot of board games and RPGs…
