You shouldn't care what she thinks, and since you provided quick and excellent service, you aren't at fault.  For a person like this, respond to everything as if they gave you a compliment. Not sarcastic. Imagine you're gaslighting the person and you want to make them think that they're trying to say mean things but only nice things are coming out of their mouth.  My computer is broken AGAIN Click Click Click Fixed! You're trying to make me look stupid I'm glad I was able to quickly resolve the problem, have a great day This always happens and I angry angry angry I'm flattered, have a great day, I'm always here to help.

A quick and dirty greasemonkey script to really improve the quality of post in the IT threads. http://pastebin.com/5aXYpbzB On topic, I was handed a ticket yesterday to help get some of our customer facing support guys a webserver. I asked them for more information on what they are requesting and the response included something about how their personal VMs have 2GB of memory and 2 CPUs so he would expect the webserver to have more resources allocated to it. This is one of my pet peeves, assuming that because a service is important it must need more memory or cores than an unimportant service. Your tiny web service is probably going to be perfectly happy with 2 GB of memory and 2 CPUs given that the current version of it is completely happy with less memory and fewer cores.

I thought an ether blast was when you take one huge sniff of ether and then pass out on the floor knocking over everything you can on your way down. Do that in a lovely server room and you could do some damage.

See, on a network cable, the information is represented by binary ones and zeroes. As time goes on, the ones and zeroes zooming through the cable will hit the sides and put little dents nicks along the edges. This doesn't affect the zeroes, but sometimes the ones can get misaligned and get stuck in a nick and cause a huge traffic jam that we call an Etherblast. The solution is to unplug both ends of the cable, reverse the whole cable and plug it back in. It'll reverse the flow and you're back in business!

Coming up on my one year anniversary at the company, and my senior coworker who has been here for four years and built most of the facilities we use just told me he is leaving at the end of the month. I do not want his job. There is so much poo poo and so many projects that I will inherit just because he and I are the only techs in the region.

evol262 posted:I was more of an OpenSolaris fan, though I did like 10 more than AIX6 (AIX 4 being an obvious mess, and 5L being better than Sol9 and below). Solaris and AIX are both pretty stable (minus the already mentioned UFS problems, but ZFS-on-root is ok). SVM is an obvious mess that nobody should use, but that I've run into way too often in Solaris shops. Loved the hardware, hated AIX, and I can't even really put my finger on why. Heavy usage of inittab? Maybe. A bunch of variant-specific commands? Maybe, but that applies to every UNIX. LPARs? Maybe (they're cool, I just like zones better). At least it's still better than HP-UX. I had someone come to me with a request to put some old HP-UX servers that had been on a shelf somewhere back into production. The operations teams began playing hot potato with the request while I took the requester aside and very politely explained that nobody in this entire company was crazy enough to sign up to support crap hardware for a crap OS that had been sitting on a shelf for the last four years, and that the real need was to get funding for eliminating whatever factors made them think HP-UX was a solution to any 2015 problem. We're a mixed Solaris and Linux shop. I wrote our current Solaris deployment blueprint. It had some great features but Linux is completely eating its lunch now. Aside from a few legacy applications that still don't run on Linux, the only thing keeping Solaris around is sub-capacity licensing on SPARC. We can afford to do some things on LDOMs that would cost 5x as much to do in a VMware guest. Oracle's x86 virtualization stack would let us replace that problem with a different one but we're content to suffer with SPARC for the next 18 months or so. I will miss ZFS when the time comes to ditch Solaris. It's not the best performer in the world but for 90% of the things I do, it beats hell out of Linux LVM.

Renegret posted:Personally I just unplug both ends, then blow in one end to clear out the bits. Your forceful ejection of the bits will cause more dings in the shielding, degrading your cable even further and causing more etherblasts. The best way to clear a cable is with a tone tester, the sound waves harmlessly clear 1s and 0s.

Zorak of Michigan posted:I will miss ZFS when the time comes to ditch Solaris. It's not the best performer in the world but for 90% of the things I do, it beats hell out of Linux LVM. Maybe btrfs will be ready by then. Or just use zfs on linux if you don't need a supported RHEL config or anything. LVM is ok for non-mass-storage stuff, but its RAID functionality is sorely lacking, and mdraid sucks. Any SAN vendor is nicer for real storage, obviously, but I sort of miss being able to throw thumpers on the network as iscsi targets. I still also like zones (and jails) somewhat better than LXC or docker. Especially branded zones. But I guess once you don't have legacy applications anymore, those don't matter as much. Personal take is that I'd avoid Oracle VM like the plague unless you've really got a lot of Oracle middleware or need the licensing save on RDBMS. It's just... lacking, even compared to Xen Orchestra (though close to on par with the official XenServer client)

 I'm probably overreacting, but putting the complaint/issue in the subject line of an email, not adding anything to the body of the email is dickish. In this case, the coworker actually did add something to the body, just a lowercase signature... And yeah I've posted and complained about this before in this thread, possibly also admitted to maybe overreacting... certain people do this regularly. Very irritating.

Happened to catch this comment in one of the setup tickets. This genius was tasked with routing a number to point to a certain extension. "It said point to extension 2300, i pointed it to 2300 but I guess it was the wrong 2300" I think whenever anyone in that department complains about the new QA procedures I'm going to point to this and let it speak for itself.
