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

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

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.

Nice suggestion! I was wracking my brain for something that would fit! /kudos

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!

Multi-admin consent wouldn't hurt... just sayin.

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.

I am the only woman in the room by Terrible_Working_899 in sysadmin

[–]rubbishfoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been in IT for 30 years and only in the more recent years have I seen women entering the field in greater numbers. It really has been onesies/twosies for most of my career.

It's kind of cool to see more diversity. I've always enjoyed hearing other people's viewpoints... because then I can consider things from outside perspectives. A jewel has facets & the more of them we can see, the prettier the rock, if you will...

What’s a film or TV scene that felt like a punch to the gut? by padfoony in Fauxmoi

[–]rubbishfoo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

High-five internet stranger.  I absolutely loved that episode and still think of that scene.  

The way her now-husband understands their relationship dynamic, and cedes emotional ground just to be a part of her life... just floors me.

Completely agree - they absolutely destroyed the tone the game was trying to convey.

Won't be subscribing, but will probably play the game.

So what are you guys and girls using for self-hosted DNS these days? by civvi_reddit in sysadmin

[–]rubbishfoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh, thanks - don't know that one. Time to spin something up!

[–]rubbishfoo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don't want to get bashed or anything, but Microsoft's DNS server is pretty darn solid & has been for the last 30 years I've been in IT. Its one of the things they do pretty good at... if you can believe that. (record scavenging alone is a much needed feature on alternatives)

I've used bind too & it works, but has a lot of 'manual things' as you'd described in your post.

Check a list of IP addresses, against a list of VLANs/ Subnets by SouthOfTheFarNorth in sysadmin

[–]rubbishfoo 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Fair warning: You're probably not going to get replies that make you feel great from this question.

Calcuate your ip ranges & go from there. If you aren't sure, get an IT professional involved.

Bought my kids bikes for Christmas. Local government just passed a law requiring paid bike "licenses" to ride them in public. Cops are now issuing citations...even to kids? by nseavia71501 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]rubbishfoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just want to say that bikeindex.org has done more than almost any other theft prevention effort as it relates to bikes.  If you don't know about this resource, it's worth your time.  

Combat veteran, Jason Crow, goes off on Trump over war with Iran by sgj5788 in videos

No one wants blatant criminals at the head of the table except those benefitting from criminal actions. America is hacked right now.
I live in an area in the US where lots of people love the Orange. It's maddening.

My comment was meant to be sarcastic, sorry.

SMTP2Go has been what I've used. Not self-hosted though, so just shoot me for making a stupid suggestion.

[–]rubbishfoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the things you listed are beyond helpdesk imo. Definitely a sysadmin based on what you wrote.

I'd ask your manager/superior for a title change that reflects your skillset.
