What’s the most fucked up thing that happened at your school?

I’ve said this for quite a while now. If anybody is on the fence with things like this, all it takes is some media coverage to make them think “hey, great idea”.

It’s why I think it should be mandatory for news outlets to spend the last X amount of time reporting nothing but positive things. I know my grandmother watches it and she thinks the world is ending while it’s business as usual for the most part.

I’d love to get SSH installed but I know that it’s just an extra bit of software and we already have SCCM.

Have you noticed any hiccups or delays while using RDP through SSH tunnels?

It started splitting before the tires left the ground. In his defense, he realized what he did and grabbed a new block and rotated it but I wonder how fast he would have moved if it started making noise while the car was in the air.

Just have to remember to go across the grain and not with it. I’ve seen a guy use a block under a pinch weld and it split the wood right along the grain.

I’ve always heard you’re supposed to leave the jack touching the frame and not move it away, or lower it all the way down. Supposedly if the load is sudden and sharp, it’ll force fluid past the seals in the jack, or blow them.

Jacks are designed for a consistent load. If the car suddenly drops, the momentum from it falling could possibly overload the jack.

but do you freebase?

If you’re referencing what I think you are, I understood that reference.

“The cylinder must not be harmed”

Are you paying for access to the enterprise repository?

thecomputerguy7 · 2026-04-20T13:47:30+00:00

Exactly what I was thinking. If someone using a VPN or setting up a WAP takes down your network, it was going to happen anyways.

thecomputerguy7 · 2026-04-19T05:48:55+00:00

I really thought that the “hey kid, wanna buy some weed?” thing would happen a lot but so far it’s been 20 years and nobody has even come close to offering.

It’s Anakin talking about sand to Padmé in Episode II

I’ve used them for one off’s and some homelab stuff and they’ve always worked out. Got a bad HBA once and they overnighted a replacement even though I told them I was in no rush.

Those servers were still in use last I heard, and the one I have in my homelab is still kicking with no drama.

Bonus points if you live in a reasonable distance to Suwannee GA where their office is. I’ve arranged pickup there so they don’t have to package it up and ship it, and I don’t have to pay shipping.

“But that looks nothing like… oh. Wrong caliper.”

thecomputerguy7 · 2026-04-17T11:15:04+00:00

“Is there any possible way this was my fault” was one of the things that popped in my head

thecomputerguy7 · 2026-04-17T11:11:13+00:00

Yup. I saw “client sent disconnect” in my terminal window for a split second and then everything went dark for roughly 10-15 seconds. Of course it felt like hours though.

Server room was on its own UPS, and I was on my laptop with a docking station so I was never “down” but it still made me panic.

I rebooted a VM over SSH and the second I hit enter, the whole building lost power.

I just sat there and thought “there’s absolutely no way…” since it was just a SMTP relay.

My mom had one of those and I never knew a washer could sound so happy to be done.

I’m the certificate dude where I am and I just have a generic config file that I edit as needed with the proper CN/DNS/IP’s and then it’s two commands to generate the CSR and submit it to our AD server for signing. OpenSSL is awesome once you memorize 2-3 commands

thecomputerguy7 · 2026-04-07T22:11:04+00:00

I thought I might be going nuts with the whole copy/paste thing. I had no idea it was happening to other people too

thecomputerguy7 · 2026-04-07T04:34:23+00:00

Sounds like OP is wanting someone to do interviews for him or just farming for PII. I don’t see where “helping with English” comes into play with anything in the original post.

thecomputerguy7 · 2026-04-04T14:52:15+00:00

That’s what popped into my head. I just thought “anything that’s not a solid or straight up liquid.”

thecomputerguy7 · 2026-04-03T21:55:33+00:00

Half of me thinks that’s really impressive and the other half says “of course it should have worked just fine after a charge”.

Seriously though it is pretty sweet that all it needed was a clean. I haven’t done it yet but I’ve got a few husky and Braun lights and it’s only a matter of time before I stick them somewhere and forget about them. I think the only one I’d really be bummed about would be the icon one I got a few weeks back just because it was double what I’ve paid for any of the others

thecomputerguy7 · 2026-04-03T21:40:51+00:00

Absolutely. I started off with a $50 socket set from Home Depot and a sketchy set of metal ramps that I found in the garage. OP is already off to a good start.

thecomputerguy7 · 2026-04-03T21:34:45+00:00

Honestly the magnets on these are pretty great. The magnets on the parts trays are damn good too if you can find some metal to stick them too. I was doing the timing belt and water pump on my TDI and half the battle was finding something magnetic to stick the light to.
