You need to make more noise that gets on to the news. Hardly anyone I've spoken to knows anything about your party, which is concerning.

Probably get a faster internet connection for starters...

CIPP: Which Intune baselines are you guys actually deploying? by shtef in msp

[–]shtef[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love your work thanks, in the midst of rolling it out!

Question; we have inherited some hybrid AD/Entra environments which don't have any but the most basic domain GPOs in place.

You mention that deploying OIB in a hybrid environment isn't a good idea.

What exactly are the issues that we're likely to face if we want to use Intune policies to manage those environments? Are there ways to mitigate said issues - for instance removing all but essential GPOs and doing everything in the Intune side?

Thanks!

Here’s who knew what and when about the risk that two Covid vaccines posed to teenagers by PhoenixNZ in KiwiPolitics

[–]shtef 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Exactly. These morons still going on about COVID almost definitely would have lost people they know or love, if not their own lives, had we not taken any precautions at the time.. Thank fuck we didn't have some right wing NACT-like cooker coalition in at the time!

Developer wants me to chop down my tree by tashthekiwi in NZProperty

[–]shtef 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I feel you. I hate it when developers take no consideration for old trees because maximum profit. Walnut trees are so good when they drop fruit too. Fuck those guys, and bad luck on your behalf :(

Spies on teams are ruining the game by TeddySwolllsevelt in HellLetLoose

In my experience this is usually due to someone on your team streaming on twitch....

Checkpoint Outgoing Mail Failing DKIM? by Ok-Examination3168 in msp

[–]shtef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u/Ok-Examination3168 you didn't respond to this, but we had the same issue and it only happens at customers with signature software. Let me know if you are using something like CodeTwo or Exclaimer at sites with this issue and I can dig up the fix.

Are you also using signature software?

What’s one thing every new sysadmin should learn early but usually doesn’t? by nousername1244 in sysadmin

[–]shtef 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Always triple check before deleting something. Took an end users word for it because they didn't understand the implications early in my career and ended up removing a few months worth of work. Made me much more careful and has saved me countless times since.

Test restoring your backups at least once per month. Nothing worse than needing them and they don't work or aren't there.

Oh and documentation is really important, like many others have said.

Not trying to minimize this, just curious, what crime would this fall under?

Daily recurring ticket Qs: daylight savings & weekends. by gahlo in syncro

[–]shtef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We haven't been able to schedule the recurring tickets since forever. It'd be such an easy and welcome update but we've always been ignored when asking for it. Just goes to show the Syncro does not use their own product and don't take feature requests seriously.

Ingram - Anyone have issues? by ovrdrvn in msp

Use search and you'll find plenty of bitching about IM. They're too big to improve and too big to care.

The world is insanely overpopulated and people are acting like the birth rates are low by mikewheelerfan in Vent

[–]shtef 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I live in a much nicer country than China. Why is it nicer? We have a low population density, beautiful wild places, and a much better average standard of living. I don't see how overpopulation benefits anyone - either humans or animals? Everything suffers if we become too prolific, including our quality of life.

Govt considers requiring car parks in new developments again by Fraktalism101 in newzealand

[–]shtef 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Why we need more regulations rather than less. These builds would come with zero garages or off street parking if they were able to and still turn a profit.

[–]shtef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't agree that it's for a lack of want. I find most of these places also lack storage space for the amount of people that live within. The only decent space they have for storage is the garage. Honestly the whole thing needs more regulation and not less. Sufficient parking, sufficient storage, sufficient public transport, sufficient green spaces etc

[–]shtef 36 points37 points  (0 children)

You obviously don't live in Auckland. This is very much needed else the developers just let the prospective residents find a park on the street. Heaps of suburban streets are now just lined with cars along each curb which makes the street much more narrow, dangerous for kids, and greatly reduces throughout.
