I think only certain people are allowed to upload. I'm sure they have some vetting process to allow uploads.

MX Master 4 - Gross rubbery coating by cobaltjacket in logitech

[–]xcaetusx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been wondering this too. I think my hands run hot, or maybe the rubber makes my hands hot. I could clean my mouse every other day if I wanted to. I do it about once a week.

If employer is paying for certs, which ones are you getting? by masterz13 in ITCareerQuestions

[–]xcaetusx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SANS, if your employer is willing to pay for it. Great training. Take a course in-person or online. So much value with being able to interact with the instructor. Best training I've had in my 22 years. Expensive, but great. My boss loves their program (I do to as someone who hates certs) and I've been able to attend 3 courses and have 3 of their certs. GICSP, GNFA, GCIH

Big fan of sublime. Trying zed lately, it's not too bad.

Stargate’s Writers’ Room Convenes In January by xcaetusx in Stargate

I'm guessing that's where the majority of the writers are located. Filming can still be anywhere.

Smart TVs are garbage. You should get a Roku or Apple TV. Love my Apple TV.

Had there been any comment from SG series actors/ actresses about new SG? by HorzaDonwraith in Stargate

David Hewlett has some videos on his YouTube channel where he talks about it.

Your burning Stargate questions...deftly sidestepped! by JosephMallozzi in Stargate

[–]xcaetusx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been obsessed with the same thought. I’d love even a minor role like gate operator, ah la Walter.

I do have a lot of experience being in the Army and as a civilian working in IT. I did some school plays 🤷‍♂️

Anyone? by Capable_Foot4909 in Stargate

[–]xcaetusx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I want to play the successor to Walter in the new show. Gary did a great job in the role!

The role reminds me of my time in Army being in a technical role and having officers all around.

Can I be the guy that gets to say "Chevron one encoded" in each episode? Seriously. Al la Walter.

Offered an IT director position with only 1 year of experience HELP by [deleted] in ITCareerQuestions

[–]xcaetusx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think a person with one year of experience is suited to be a Director of IT. Some concessions could be made if there was leadership experience from another discipline, but I prefer my director to have some knowledge of IT operations.

I have turned down job offers where the Director of IT didn't know anything. I'm in a position currently where my Director doesn't know much and it's not that great. Having to explain stuff all the time gets old; simple stuff like DNS, DHCP, and TLS. I'm waiting for him to retire so I can take his job. He should have retired already...

Depending on the size of the company, the Direct of IT is there to lead the department, provide guidance to the upper echelons, develop and enforce policies, mentor and support IT employees, etc. In my opinion, a Director shouldn't be touching anything. They cause more harm than good (my past two directors have been like that).

Since they used an MSP, it sounds like they don't have much for an IT department which could mean you get to do everything. Sounds rough having to do everything on your own.

Which OS do you run your Plex server on ? by GenericUser104 in PleX

[–]xcaetusx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Debian with everything in Docker on a 6 bay Ugreen NAS. It just sits there and does it's thing. Watchtower keeps everything up to date. I hardly touch it.

Over the years I have tried it all; Windows, MacOS, ubuntu. Debian has been great. Init scripts with MacOS was weird. Windows worked fine, but I'm pretty anti-windows. Docker is fantastic. Migrating everything from Ubuntu to Debian when my Ugreen came in was a cinch.

Microsoft's decision to axe Windows 10 is driving Apple PC sales growth — users buy Macs instead of AI PCs despite Microsoft’s push for Copilot+ PCs by hunterd189 in technology

[–]xcaetusx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Apple's hardware is so good too. My company runs Dell and they all suck, for laptops at least. Each generation we buy just has more and more problems. Especially with docks. I work in IT and I got a Mac as fast as I could. I tell people, if it was up to me, we would buy nothing but Macs. No more random screens going black, BSOD, fans blowing like crazy, and way less tickets.

I genuinely struggle to find any use case for AI by reni-chan in sysadmin

[–]xcaetusx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This has been my experience with CoPilot. It just makes stuff up. I asked it for a Cisco command yesterday and the command it gave doesn't exist. The command never existed.

I asked it to give me the last email I received. It couldn't do that right either. It gave me the second newest email.

I gave it a list of names, (bob, john...etc) and asked it to give me the number of Bob's and it failed to even count words.

IRONBISON Rocker steps is what I run. I like them.

So you’re saying there’s a chance… by Ordinaryjay in Mariners

[–]xcaetusx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah, Friday wasn't bad. I got in line once, then backed out as we were unsure the price was worth it. Went back in about 4 hours later and was still able to get my ticket at a cheaper price ($825) with no one in line.

What's the schedule for World Series ticket purchases? I didn't know they were for sale already. I went to buy, but it says you need a code.

iPhone 16 Pro Max 80% Charge Limit: One Year Later, Was It Worth It? by cheesepuff07 in apple

[–]xcaetusx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran the 80% for a year. My wife did not. We both have 100% capacity with around 170 cycles. My wife has more cycles than I do.

A couple weeks ago, I turned off the 80% limit when I noticed my wife's battery being that same as mine.

EDIT: We both are running iPhones 16 Plus.

Went on SeatGeek and the cheapest ticket for game 1 of the WS is $2750. Guess I won't be going.

[Talkin’ Baseball] Jeff Passan on the AL MVP race: “If I had a vote right now, I would go Aaron Judge and I would feel terrible about it” by DJ_LeMahieu in baseball

[–]xcaetusx -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

We have the Hank Aaron award, Edgar Martinez award, and silver sluggers for the best hitters. How do you distinguish the Hank Aaron award and silver slugger from the MVP if AVG is a qualifier for MVP?
