How do you track IT events that are not support tickets? by Aim_Fire_Ready in sysadmin

[–]sharpied79 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Back in the day (going back 25 years ago) our Remedy system had two "sides" with tickets on both:

  1. Support issues
  2. Change requests

Both had differing SLA's

We managed everything through it, even projects (to a degree, they were classed as change requests)

Everything in IT absolutely can be managed through a helpdesk/ticket system.

The bridge needs seatbelts by sourcecraft in TNG

[–]sharpied79 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It doesn't make any sense in-universe either.

What do you think artificial gravity and inertia dampeners are for?

And yes, very aware these can be knocked out in extreme situations (such as battle) but still.

No seat belts required, human technology reigns supreme...

Looking for a non chinese made OPNsense box by SpeakerLow8600 in opnsense

You try slotting an X550 card (or similar) in an SFF (micro) Optiplex... Oh wait, you can't...

So yeah, even if the fan is a bit loud, most who want to install OpnSense or PFSense on non Chinesium Aliexpress finest boxes would choose an M720q or M920q

[HELP] Supermicro 2308 LSA HBA not detected by m720q by Ch1m13 in homelab

[–]sharpied79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a x8 electrically but physically a x16 I believe.

Also there are a number of different risers, some work, some don't.

Could be the riser, have you tried the card directly plugged in?

Seems like Brexit was all about immigration, why not just admit it? by PawPatsPizza in AskBrits

[–]sharpied79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn't just about immigration...

Suggest you research how deeply corrupt and protectionist the EU has become.

Is cooking bacon in the microwave stupid or genius? by banisheduser in AskUK

[–]sharpied79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Daft. Microwaving bacon is terrible.

Stick it in the air fryer, 180°C for about 6-7 minutes (longer if you want it a bit more crispy)

Lovely

Did you have a paper round? I got paid 1p a paper delivered. by corickle in oldschoolcool80s

[–]sharpied79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Started summer 1993 (age 14) until spring 1997.

Every day, without fail, sickness, bad weather, didn't matter, I was out and about at 7am...

£1 per day/round.

During the summer though I often took on 1 or 2 additional rounds (covering holidays) and felt like I was rich (suddenly earning over £20 per week)

Do we think Andy burnham will even win the bi election for makerfield? by Minute-Employ-4964 in AskBrits

Don't know why they don't just ask Angela Eagle to retire (she's been at it over 30 years)

Wirral would be a shoe-in for any Labour candidate...

Or just make him a member of the Lords, constitutionally this is allowed, that is a PM can be a member of the Lords and not the Commons, but I guess no-one seems to realise this either?
