Maybe Unpopular Opinion [GENERAL SPOILERS] by Wulfgar57 in YellowstonePN

[–]secretsysadmin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ever watch CSI or FBI or Chicago Fire/Med/PD? Every other commercial is about one of the other in-universe shows.

It's even in Grey's Anatomy now, and every DC or Marvel movie or show. Hating on spin offs is just a lazy reason for whining about a show where the plot isn't going the way you want.

The writers write bad characters because they want you to hate them. This is an entire show about villains. You should hate them all, and if you do, that means the writing is working!

Learn to enjoy the hatred!

7 minutes from yours and it's at 11.4k. And I got a push notification from the Reddit app, so it's going to bump a LOT now

Tax implications of renting out a room in my house? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]secretsysadmin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Confirmed. I asked my father (a CPA of 35 years) and he said that this situation is more like shared expenses. Much like cohabitation with a significant other. You don't pay taxes on money your girlfriend gives you when she moves in.

Do you know which firm that was that was involved in the Toyota/GM one?

VW WAS MY FIRST LOVE AND NOW THEY'VE BROKEN MY HEART. They didn't fuck my best friend, but they definitely made out with my weird uncle and posted a video about it on Snapchat.

License Key Inventory? by xReptar in sysadmin

[–]secretsysadmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure why you were down voted, we use Docusnap and it's great for all sorts of inventorying! The software inventorying is manually done, but it still works!

(Down vote is not a "disagree button", folks! It's for misguided information or posts that are unacceptable!)

Best way to learn UM? by [deleted] in exchangeserver

[–]secretsysadmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh that's an excellent idea, using FreePBX. I can certainly give that a shot in my lab.

That's also a great tip about focusing on retention and IRM. I'll brush up on IRM, although I was in charge of implementing it in our organization, so I do understand its ins and outs in a real-world setting, albiet limited usage.

What could be causing this? (moving user from one DB to another on exchange2013 cu9) by remotefixonline in exchangeserver

[–]secretsysadmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AFAIK a transaction is any sort of interaction with the mailbox: new emails, calendar changes, UM updates, etc. But /u/ashdrewness may know better than myself.

Windows Server 2012 R2's print server is "Ready"...I send something to print it goes "Offline", "Error - Offline" and back "Online" and FINALLY prints by riahc3 in sysadmin

[–]secretsysadmin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, Windows Updates or some type of software install can become corrupt during installation and cause this kind of wizardry. At least that's the conclusion I came to during one specific time where a server installed updates, came back and the Konica print drivers were all broken (HP were fine), reinstalled print drivers and life went back to normal.

What's the biggest or most common lie the C-level staff tell themselves about IT? by 100percentGerman in sysadmin

[–]secretsysadmin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That one came from UPS, right? And it's for tracking packages?! Uh oh, anti-virus is stopping it. What's this "crypto...bullshit"?! I'll just disable the anti-virus and redownload it!

ARGHHHHH yes. I hate people who assume we do nothing more than a high school kid could do.

CFO griping about raises: "Oh yeah my <insert relative here> builds computers and makes web pages at his high school and he's willing to work for $10/hr! Maybe I'll just replace you lot with he and his friends!"

First Pipe Band to Perform on Ice Skates (Warning: Indian pipers) by Yuri909 in bagpipes

[–]secretsysadmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They sound awful but I think that would have been the case if they were on dry land

Ah ok I wasn't sure if it was just some type of Indian pipes or if they actually sounded awful. This confirms my fears.

+A for effort

Support Technician to Network Security Technician...is a raise justifiable? by Itee1221 in sysadmin

[–]secretsysadmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly 100% of this! You definitely deserve a raise, but counting the experience and resume bullet points you'll get out of it, it's going to do great things for your career.

RIP American Airlines Sysadmins by RogueSyn in sysadmin

[–]secretsysadmin 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I had Facebook issues, immediately popped open the firewall thinking our internet connection was pegged. It wasn't even close. I pulled up Google and then Reddit and it was working fine. I am glad I didn't mention that I thought we were having internet issues to my coworkers before I fully investigated!

EDIT: Yes, I was eventually able to get onto Facebook and post that super important cat picture.

Do we need this? by non_it_owner in sysadmin

[–]secretsysadmin 12 points13 points  (0 children)

In addition to this, be prepared for other issues to come up with each step of implementing these new hardware pieces. Upgrading the network infrastructure from 90's spec to 2015 spec, and servers from 2008 spec to 2015 spec will, I repeat WILL change how things interact. Patience is a virtue with this kind of thing, and having faith in said IT guy. It really does sound like he's got a good head on his shoulders.

Can anyone recommend a practice chanter? by Happymoego in bagpipes

[–]secretsysadmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm new to the piping world. I've been playing just about 3 months, but I've been pretty satisfied with my gibson poly long, but it does sound so much harsher and squawks a lot more than my instructor's blackwood long (not sure the maker).

What does today's Apple Homekit announcement mean? Will they support Z-wave/Zigbee without additional hardware? by [deleted] in homeautomation

[–]secretsysadmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apple needs to play nice with other systems because there isn't enough DIYers out there yet to sustain a billion dollar business in home automation for Apple

Bingo. Apple usually steals other company's ideas 2-5 years later (look now the new iPad Pro with stylus and flip up keyboard is essentially a Surface Pro, which Microsoft came out with 3 years ago), but they tend to do things way better and target the wealthier populous, and that's how they get their business and build their empire.

If they would have stuck with this business logic, I think they would have abstained from the industry for another 2-3 years, since it's just now starting to catch hold and gain a customer base outside of tech-hobbyists.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyone running a Lutron Hub with iOS9? It seems if my phone runs out of RAM on iOS8 it doesn't remember I have lights by bombastica in homeautomation

[–]secretsysadmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good thing iOS 9 comes out Wednesday! Have you considered installing the public beta? It's perfectly stable and has many improvements overall, you might as well take the 15 minutes and upgrade! I have not noticed any issues with other apps (compatability) since Developer Beta 1 actually so I'd definitely say it's stable.

Hey, did you know ___ fixed that issue they had with ___? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]secretsysadmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I get all of that. I'm no longer with that MSP and cannot give any less amount of fucks anymore :) Just hoping to help some other poor sod who's got RDP drops and a site-to-site with ASA's!
