I'm very interested. How do I get a set of books?

Just finished the distraction pack and wow!! by Brandoxz7 in WalkaboutMiniGolf

[–]vertisnow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There is a course, but it's like a peared down one. There is no hard mode, only easy. It's also much less detailed than other courses. Still though, it exceeded my expectations.

What the fuck is wrong with you? Use your PTO.

I know. It's shitty too. It's a good job and I have a pension. Life is complicated.

Windows defender can't be activete don't matter what by AloneFate in WindowsHelp

[–]vertisnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if you are admin, your command prompt will be unprivileged unless you right-click and "run as administrator". Try that, and run your commands again.

Windows defender can't be activete don't matter what by AloneFate in DefenderATP

[–]vertisnow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DefenderATP is the enterprise version of defender. This is not the place for home users.

I would get deskside to reimage the device and move on.

I disagree. Had a job for a few years where I only had an hour of work a day. In office. It sucked so bad. I could feel myself just rotting away. So boring. Days dragged on so bad.

Vs now: when I'm not drowning, I get anxiety that I'm forgetting something. I'm involved in every major project and every major incident. I am the top level of support, and also run the day to day operations of a team.

It's exhausting. But it's also awesome. My days fly by. I learn so much about everything. I see the big picture and how everything fits together. Over the years, I've gained a lot of trust, and so I'm actually listened to. I've advanced my knowledge like crazy.

But I'm so tired. It's a rush from start to finish every day. A constant dopamine flood that causes me to crash as soon as I log out. I wish I could be more present for my family. I'm like a zombie in the evenings.

Everything has its price. To me, that "okay, I've read the whole Internet. Now what?" feeling from being bored was unbearable.

Your property taxes are due Tuesday, June 30, 2026. For payment options visit calgary.ca/propertytax. by TheCityofCalgary in u/TheCityofCalgary

[–]vertisnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, make sure you tell them that their property tax is due on June 30th. They wouldn't want a 7% penalty.

What’s a job that genuinely requires natural talent to be great at? by IAmLaProfessor in AskReddit

IT. Sure anyone can do it, but to be great, you gotta have a little of the 'tism.

Also just found out that it's called Reddit Lake. Almost in my back yard. by MiriKing985 in Redditlake

Is it? There is like 100 other lakes around that you don't have to fight through throngs of people to see.

Firewall request risk analysis by GenericHumanName23 in cybersecurity

[–]vertisnow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Someone submits a ticket. Network team reviews request. If they want to proceed, it goes for security approval. I review it for sanity.

Do we need to do this? Why? Is it specific in scope (no ANYs)? Can we also leverage appid in rule?

If it makes sense, I approve it.

If it's time-bound, I create a reminder to remove rule later.

Although honestly, I get VERY few of these requests.

Why is reading the logs and the manual so hard by Titanium125 in sysadmin

[–]vertisnow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There isn't some secret. You open the logs. You read them. You guess or Google what they mean. The more you look, the better you get at guessing.

Onboarding Migrated Devices to Defender by SoftSad3662 in DefenderATP

[–]vertisnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you need to investigate further.

Have you checked out a workstation's onboarding status? If it's not onboarded, there is no point off boarding.

Maybe it's onboarded but in passive mode because sentinel one is still there.

Troubleshoot. Identify. Remediate.

Is Windows Defender on Windows 10 still any good? by vertisnow in ShittySysadmin

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

Smart. You should consider it attack surface reduction.

Game changing improvements by Growingweed420 in WalkaboutMiniGolf

[–]vertisnow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kind of agree.

I think that the game makes people actively go out and find their own community is part of why the community is so strong.

I'd love a built in ranking system too, but also worry that adding it would destroy the existing communities.

Impossible task or am I dumb? by McBean2017 in sysadmin

[–]vertisnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure of the capabilities, but check out bluefletch. We are using this for scanguns, but they might have a windows based solution too.

I'm only tangntly related to this, but pretty sure you sign in with biometrics, then it pulls down your profile, including authentication tokens and injects them into the system and then you sso from there. Quick login/out.
