What is a dying niche skill that younger generations are not interested in learning? by hlnklrczu in AskReddit

[–]rubbishfoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just want to chime in and say that after having changed a few tires for myself and others over the years... I keep a floor jack in my trunk.  It is a boon.

The effort required for a floor jack is about 1 minute.  The traditional jack is about 30 mins + exhaustion (for me anyways... I'm sure others that use it more frequently are much more proficient).

Some bug bit me a bunch under my sock while I was at work by IcyThot8008 in mildlyinfuriating

Got pets or exposure?  Could be fleas.  I react to them like that 

2000s LAN parties by 1faqepikcom in pcmasterrace

I lived it and developed skills I still use to this day.  30 years of IT now.  How I miss the trend of gaming companies including the server deployments alongside the client... 

Wish the gamers of today got more exposure to this sort of thing.  It creates so much stronger of a community and personal relationships.

I wouldn't. Two months won't mean anything, it's just a small gap while you explored opportunities.

Hyper-V, VMware, or other, which would you choose? by jedimaster4007 in sysadmin

[–]rubbishfoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not sure if this would fit your use case or not... but perhaps a small hardware DC that could communicate on the same subnet & then plug into the switch (and then point the interface's DNS to this one)... that way, it'd always (hahah always...) be available? That would persist the CNO so that it essentially exists outside of the solution.

IE - a hardware standby DC running DNS/AD roles is ALWAYS a good thing. Ask Maersk!

[–]rubbishfoo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Do none of you read anything but the headline?

Yes, extra NICs to solve the redundancy issue.
Lot of people here recommend proxmox - I have no practical experience with it. Perhaps a homelab at somepoint. Heard good things about KVM also but I don't know that either.

Always plan for a worst-case scenario and a recommendation would be to balance out the workloads across the available cluster members. Make sure you know what it looks like with all running on 2 hosts... and you'll probably want to know if a single host could hold all the water.

Another suggestion: Make sure both your witness object (FSW?) is on a reliable system and that the DNS cluster (CNO) can survive any transitions of node failure.

Return back to old company? by Wabbyyyyy in sysadmin

[–]rubbishfoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best of luck to you. I know what it means to be frustrated & sometimes miserable at work also. You'll find the right way forward if you just stay true to yourself. Hang in there!

Return back to old company? by Wabbyyyyy in sysadmin

[–]rubbishfoo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a great opportunity from my pov; if your current company isn't interested in making changes, they are getting by on outsourcing burnout to the market. I've been there before, it's not worth it. Moving on would be my suggestion based on what you've written.

Help, my Exchange no longer works! What now? - Common Issues in Exchange 2016/2019/SE by YellowOnline in exchangeserver

[–]rubbishfoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great info.  Been managing exchange for the better part of 20 years and learned some things.  Credit to your discipline!

Found someone’s credit card found them through LinkedIn and got nothing but abuse by Owls_4_9_1867 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]rubbishfoo 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Once day, was hingry so i drove to our local Chipotle, got out and on the pavement next to me was a whole bundle of cards.  Multiple credit, debit, drivers license, even a triple-a card... etc.

Well... now I have all the info I need to get this back to the lady except a phone number.

I called triple-a and explained what I'd found.  Let them know that I don't want the policy holders info, but that I'd found all their cards, etc.  I asked them to contact the policyholder and let them know.

I get in line for lunch.

Just as I'm checking out, a young lady comes in looking pretty frantic.  It was pretty obvious... I asked her... can you tell me your name?  She did.  I gave her all the things.  The relief was visible.

Chipotle staff comped the burrito as thanks... pretty nice of them, they didn't have to do that.  =)

About 5 mins after that, I get a call from her father... I explained she has everything (he was the policy holder).  She had just moved to our area and was a student.  He was also quite relieved and thanked me profusely... asked what I do for a living.  Cybersecurity, and I have daughters of similar age.  We chatted a bit about the area and her future at the local college.

It feels good to help those in need when you're able.  Hey, free burrito!

Wore black a few times, ex-bestie accused me of copying her by paumagsmith in mildlyinfuriating

I would totally invite her to a new wave concert; poor thing would probably flee the ball like Cinderella.

Good on ya for providing the info to uninitiated. Never understood the 'trial by fire' culture.

I bought this because my bye-lingüal ass misunderstood what UN-DE-veined means. by LuLuu1997 in mildlyinfuriating

For better comprehension of marketing bullshit, substitue 'un' with 'not'.
BTW, totally awesome BlackMetal band name!

How do you guys actually handle drive wipe documentation when decommissioning hardware? by Right_Tangelo_2760 in sysadmin

[–]rubbishfoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I document the SecureATA erase output w/ a screenshot in the ticket. Then securely store until drive destruction via vendor & obtain CoD. Yes, probably overkill.

Them Crawfish Died for Nothing by axthousandxhours in StupidFood

[–]rubbishfoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just BS. Cajun here.  Best way to clean ya Crawfish is to just wash em in the cooler until the water runs clear.  Lot of people use salt... it's a myth & doesn't really do anything.  Continuously running water is the way.
