Dick Trauma posted:Now post the announcement for Java... https://krebsonsecurity.com/2016/02/good-riddance-to-oracles-java-plugin/ Well they did at least announce the plugin was going away... Firefox, Chrome, and Safari have already removed support for the plugin. And Edge never had it. Java itself though, it's going to be a long time before it goes away unfortunately.

xzzy posted:2.5 years can't pass fast enough. I removed Flash from all company computers 2 years ago when I switched everyone to Chrome Enterprise. Seeing as Chrome came with it built in. Chrome then started disabling Flash by default a few versions ago. It has generated at most 3-4 tickets. No one really seems to have noticed it was missing.

Lucky to have management that asks for IT's input before making purchasing decisions. We have successfully turned them away from 1 or 2 products using outdated poo poo like Java/Flash. - And also some rental software that was built on top of MS Access.... (shudder)...

FML. Second week of being full time exempt and the person hired two weeks ago to do ERP administration and support gets fired. Leaving me to do a significant chunk of it. Less than half an hour later my PM asks me if I can get a new report to him by the end of Friday. I was under the impression someone else was doing that report already, I haven't gotten any request or requirements for the report, and I haven't updated the reports I do have done because I have been in training the past day and a half. I told him no. I'm not pulling a 60 hour week to maybe get it done when he never even told me I was supposed to do it until four days before it needs to be done.

Dick Trauma posted:Is there a rule that when replacing two UPS batteries one won't come out? Raised a bit of a sweat before it finally decided to emerge. The third battery just arrived so I figured "why not" and swapped out the one from the primary unit. Estimated runtime has gone from 18 minutes to 1h:41m... ![]()

MF_James posted:It was all a ruse. There are 2 potential outcomes: Welp it turned out to be Option 3. They are all loving retards. "Installer" shows up and refuses to do anything because a line needs run first.... Tells US to call the installation department and arrange that, then leaves. Isn't that what the "installer" is supposed to do?

poo poo not pissing me off: In a moment of panic, I logged into a couple of Windows Server 2012 R2 servers that run a few web sites of mine and after what seemed like forever I was able to remember my passwords to them. Turns out it had been two years and one week since I'd last rebooted them. Or patched them. A couple hundred thousand hits over two years and they've been rock solid and un-compromised. I suppose it's time to patch them and reboot them, eh? ![]()

poo poo pissing me off: Brand new Dell R530 server. Installed Ubuntu 16.04 with a UI to hopefully show our windows guys they aren't that scary. The UI performance was abysmally bad. Do a little more research, embedded video controller is a Matrox G200. This is a 19 year old video chip. What the gently caress did I just give dell $7,000 for.

anthonypants posted:Over the past 19 years the industry has decided that general-purpose rackmount servers don't need hardware video acceleration. And, they're right. While I agree with your point, it seems really odd to me that the video on these servers hasnt changed at all in 20 years.

The video chip needs to be able to output to iDRAC so it's pretty basic. Install VMware on it, run your Linux GUI inside that.

DigitalMocking posted:poo poo pissing me off: They figure most servers will run headless, so why bother with a decent video chip? But anyways even for the most basic use its horrible. The old T620s we have also use the same chip. It can barely handle Windows at 1027x768x16. RDP is 1000x faster than local video.

stevewm posted:They figure most servers will run headless, so why bother with a decent video chip? Understand, there's nothing wrong with the G200 in terms of performance for a UI, except no distro has drivers for it any longer. When I say abysmal, I'm not kidding. Just typing your password at the login screen took more than 20 seconds for the dots to echo back to the screen. God forbid you try to open a window.
