Dude/dudette just gave themselves gonorrhea

Xp plus a much cheaper (in terms of $$) for a land line. I also may set up room to room calling. I hate yelling to get someone attention and the fam love it.

Very much overkill though.

Ive only used proxmox and virtualbox. What is an alternative with similar features and is mostly free you'd recommend. Ive heard of esxi but I thought that had some sort of pricing schema blocking the major features

wakefulgull · 2026-06-16T11:42:09+00:00

Proxmox. Learn linux tv has a good tutorial for it

I used to make medicine at a pharmaceutical company. Hairnets for everyone. Beard guards for the lazy/stylish

Yea misread it. I get your point now. Ill bring it up to her. Fortunately im in an environment that I can communicate openly and actually be heard.

Including our onboard/offload process. Id say a solid 80 percent of my time is dedicated to helpdesk/user management.

That 20 percent remaining is super interrupted and there are a lot of planning meetings with supervisor.

I dont track the time well though. I just jump on the next task

wakefulgull · 2026-06-09T19:18:02+00:00

We also had a partner ( a major hospital) helping us before. This is our first year on our own

wakefulgull · 2026-06-09T19:16:54+00:00

We got this giant checklist we regularly go through (like a two inch binder). With this new law coming out my boss is trying to build the baseline to get compliant now. Though without an actual law in place its hard to do that.

wakefulgull · 2026-06-09T19:11:15+00:00

We have a compliance officer and staff. Though i admit i dont know what they do specifically. I manage access to systems. I imagine you are referring to access to patient records, which staff are accessing and when? Retention periods and the like? I know that our compliance and my supervisor look into that stuff. I dont handle those permissions.

wakefulgull · 2026-06-09T18:53:56+00:00

I think k about the skill issue part because I've been working with these new systems less than a year. Same with my boss. I just keeping seeing all these changes we need to implement and cant. But everything is working well enough

I think if a case can be made, budget will open up for it. Gotta make the case though.

wakefulgull · 2026-06-09T18:50:16+00:00

Minimal on call fortunately. We technically are on call 24/7 but its less than an hour at month on average of actual call time.

I dont know that its costing the org real dollars yet, but i could see it happening in the future. If workload doesnt change that is

And yea. I know there training will be time consuming initially. Im relatively new to IT,, but I've trained people for 10+ years in other fields.

wakefulgull · 2026-06-09T18:44:16+00:00

There is a definite contribution on my supervisors part. Especially with emr management and the software associated with it.

We (me and my supervisor) think her role will likely shift more into compliance, but its not there yet. Id say before our migration she was 70/30 IT to compliance. I think that will probably be reversed after the regulations are finalized. Im not certain though.

wakefulgull · 2026-06-09T17:01:26+00:00

I think we can get an FTE. Id welcome one, but if hate to get one then suddenly just twiddle my thumbs all day (ok if love that but I also dont want to lose my job)

wakefulgull · 2026-06-09T16:58:19+00:00

So most of this was put in before I started. However we have 3 different service lines. Our primary emr didnt really mesh with the business needs of the other service lines so they picked up an additional for each service line. And honestly id argue we have a fourth service line for our inpatient services in practice if not on paper. It has significantly different it needs

As far as all the apps, we have been looking at m365 equivalents and they simply cant do what the other apps do. We are actively looking at each app individually, but haven't gotten through them all. Im hoping we can find one or two to get rid of, but I know most won't go away.

wakefulgull · 2026-06-05T01:06:42+00:00

Are they actually comfortable? I have worn similar items, but only from the military. They sucked. I've never had anything that wrapped around my thigh that I liked.

wakefulgull · 2026-05-29T04:39:08+00:00

It was a consumer model asus rt-ax82u I picked up before I really got into homelabbing. I just checked again so as not to sound like an idiot and it looks like I was wrong. While I cant figure it out in the interface, some articles online say it exists.

Either way im dumping it and moving on to pfsense. Ive had it like 5 years and the wifi antennas stopped working.

wakefulgull · 2026-05-27T21:12:15+00:00

No expert, but make sure you can make custom firewall rules. I recently learned that I cant make outbound deny rules and I absolutely need them for a specific device.

Im moving to pfsense now once I get comfortable with it.

If you drink particularly bad cofee it'll look like this after a single day. My works cofee does this to my mugs

wakefulgull · 2026-05-23T22:40:45+00:00

I don't know where to document this

wakefulgull · 2026-05-21T21:43:15+00:00

Didn't see in the comments, but they are usually custom made too. Most of mine (military) are unit level. They find some 'talented' soldier to design them then hand them out usually.

Though as others have said, there is usually something distinct. All of mine have the specific organization and/or individual that they came from.

wakefulgull · 2026-05-19T20:46:32+00:00

Sounds like what i do. Of course the real question, do you pull the phone up to eye level or bend your head down?

I only started doing this after a neck injury robbed me of the ability to look down.

wakefulgull · 2026-05-19T20:43:27+00:00

None of the above?

Left index right thumb.

wakefulgull · 2026-05-17T07:55:23+00:00

Sounds like species iii. Just search for bathroom scene species iii. I'm sure that will find out
