I thought teams sucked as a user experience… my last job, well my last job I was IT. If it involved a computer I was involved.
Anyways, administrating teams is a fucking god awful nightmare, honestly a lot of Microsoft’s eco system is awful as a sysadmin. But teams and sharepoint take the cake for being fucked.
As a person who sleeps through alarms and is approaching middle age…
It is a problem.
I wish I had some advice, but I am accepting advice lol.
My first thought was Grand Prismatic, just after dawn.
Cool enough that the thermal features create a fog over the water, and more importantly, all the tourists (I was a hotel employee in the park) were still in bed. Had the boardwalk area all to myself.
I think I just sat in contemplation for half an hour, which if you knew me would say is impossible. Very peaceful.
Proprietary formats are certainly an issue outside of Canada.
Most of the reason corporations/governments stick with popular proprietary formats is actually money.
Developing/investigating an open format is expensive. and then there is the problem of people who have only lived in a digital walled garden.
If you have to train all of your new employees on how to use it the cost rises exponentially.
Then you have your IT support folks who probably just got it dumped in their lap at the last second, and have no knowledge of it themselves, because training wasn’t an option due to time or money.
As a person who handled (solo help desk for that shift) the change over of a health networks electronic medical records systems, I receive no training and was told that they had consultants on hand to transfer them to - yeah well in 4 hours over 2000 calls came in. And of course I got yelled at by a dick hole boss (if your adult children won’t speak to you, and you’ve never met your grandchildren, you are the problem) about people who didn’t want to wait in line for one person to answer the phone and dropped the call.
That boss was ultimately the reason I left that company in favor of a previous employer who offered a lot less problems. Stayed there until the pandemic (hospitality IT) and its been a shit show ever since.
I went from hourly call center to on call 24/7 and being the only point of contact.
When my phone notifies me, just any notification, I panic. The phone rings, I panic. Its been over a year since I left.
Yes, its part and parcel to other issues of mental health, but… Man, do you know how often you get notifications? I’ve turned most off and still some days I’m ready to smash my phone so it will shut up and I can breathe normally.
Thank you for differentiating.
The original “skin head” movement was mostly factory workers in Britain who cut their hair short (not necessarily shaved bald) for safety around equipment, and some of the most popular music among the group was stuff by “rude boys” Jamaican primarily I believe.
It was working class solidarity with no intentions of racism.
The neo Nazi groups coopted the term, and delved into punk music to find disenfranchised people who would buy into their rhetoric.
There are also other skin head groups that exist today - SHARP for example, standing for SkinHeads Against Racial Prejudice.
Espouse hateful rhetoric around these guys and you’re liable to wind up on the wrong side of a brick to the head.
Why do I know all this? I have a penchant for research, and in the past few years I’ve been shaving my head because I decided to own my thinning hairline instead of have some ridiculous comb over type shit and hide it.
I have had an encounter with a racist white dude at a 711, and he’s ranting at the cashier and looks to me and said “Right brother?!”. No, it was absurdly horrible (misguided) and I threatened to call the cops if he didn’t leave the store and hopefully the neighborhood. He left when he realized he didn’t have any support.
I was witness to what burnt piss does on a hot muffler.
It stinks, for miles. And months.
Call it whatever you want man, whats important is that it helps you.
Could you go into detail, even just privately, that seems like a solid use for some otherwise idle storage space.
Then again, the only part of being a scout (boy) that stuck with me involved fire or survival methods, and to always be prepared is a good maxim.
Kali was built out as a penetration testing distro, though it does contain some diagnostic tools.
Not a bad place to start if you’re used to Debian, but it is a rolling release so it may break unexpectedly, or have new bugs introduced with each update.
A persistent USB with just Debian could have all the same tools installed but have a longer support scope on releases so you don’t have to update daily (bleeding edge) which is nice to reduce read/writes to the flash drive it’s on.
That being said, I keep a Kali live image (persistent) but thats becauae its home - my first introduction to Linux was 5 minutes with Red Hat, but aside from a brief intro in highschool, I really started with Linux in Backtrack, offensive security’s predecessor to Kali.
Yes, I have to learn things the hard way lol.
I’ve been on a decade long hiatus from multiplayer aspect of games - aside from games I was with people I knew in RL.
I only occasionally get a twinge for the comraderie of some epic raid in an MMO, or tight unspoken squad tactics where everyone just does their job as expected (not necessarily well lol) and came out on top.
But really, I don’t have the time to commit to either of those.
Then I hear about my friend in GW2 (RL friend) who is going through some toxic guild BS and I don’t miss it.
Everquest did this to me.
I mained a bard, and back then you had to stop a song and start a new one every so often…
Mathematically it translates to a button press ever 1.5 seconds, ignoring movement, other combat abilities, etc.
I also refused to compromise on spelling and grammar at the time.
I got real good at typing accurately and quickly.
I have lost a lot of that speed, but at comfortable pace I’m probably 80-90 words a minute, and the last time it was measured was a keyboarding class requisite. 121 GWAM for an eighth grader isn’t too shabby. As long as I fixed the printer I got to play games in that class.
I’d be happy to take one, should you still have any to give out.
One of my favorite maxims.
Not driving isn’t an option in my area. Not if you want to be employed.
Its a 30 minute drive to the bus stop to get to work. Plus travel time along bus stops.
Its a 35 minute drive to the front door.
If its still half an hour to just get to the bus stop, what’s the point even, at a personal level?
Captain Planet told me in the 90s what was gonna happen. Corporations just took it as a play book to accelerate shit.
Maybe they mean they will dual boot between windows and a hypervisor? I’ve never considered if that’s a possibility.
Much appreciated. Just needed some phrases to throw in a search engine to get started.
I’m looking to rise up from the hell desk, I have an enterprise grade server sitting collecting dust at the moment (heat issue, not on the server, just the average ambient temperature is uncomfortable without it running is too much) but its running unraid at the moment and not much else.
Any suggestions on where to start with infrastructure as code?
Sylvester? Is that an auto correct issue, or is this a public holiday that I might want to move to lol.
Please forgive my ignorance, the schools really failed in the US.
If anyone is looking for a search engine term, they are all Abrahamic religions, if memory serves.
