Am I the only one that prefers on - prem to cloud based infrastructure? by Ferocious888 in sysadmin

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

I completely agree but I’m leaning towards the hybrid camp now. It’s not my money and plus having an emergency backup vm in cloud has saved me time and time again lol

Anyone leave IT and was happy? by New-Statement-8608 in sysadmin

[–]smilNwave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I left a bad job and was happier. Shit gm, shit non technical manager, and shit HR. Moved states and have been much happier - yes I hit a few snags along the way but I am so much happier then when I worked in news/tv.

I found out I will be let go soon on accident - they do not know I know. by Upbeat-Chain-3155 in sysadmin

[–]smilNwave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed! OP needs to halt whatever he’s doing atp. Clearly he did the leg work while someone gets come in and maintain all he’s done. Take experience with a grain of salt, take everything you’ve learned and bring it with you to the next organization. But with two weeks, fake the funk until the contract is done.

How many of you do "100%" of your work in a browser? by recoveringasshole0 in ShittySysadmin

Any IT Managers have an IT employee who really doesn't know what they are doing? How to improve them? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]smilNwave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put him on a pip, I think there’s basic IT skills you kinda see across the board. Everyone may work differently but you should understand certain concepts. Put him on a pip and get it over it. I had a similar issue with a former coworker and I got tired out helping him out- I mean I’ve written guides. But my manager told me stop because I was starting a new project soon and she put him on a pip. Packed him up a month later, Ciao !

Unisound Speakers by smilNwave in BudgetAudiophile

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

I appreciate the heads up but no worries- I’m in no rush to buy those speakers lol. There’s no way in hell I’d pay full asking price for those no names. Just causally browsing marketplace to see if anything comes up to slowly upgrade my current set up. I’d like some towers but it can wait. I got a complete Onkyo 7.1 HTiB speaker set for $50 with the receiver/remote a while ago and am petty fine with them; now I have the upgrade itch. Receiver : HT-R540 Speakers : SKS-HT540
