If that guy was in charge, I suspect that alot of things can be heavily improved. i'd say take a look on building new servers. Automate whatever you can in the AD with powershell. Nope. We are desktop support and have no hands in the imaging process except executing it. The "offshore team" maintains it. Ditto everything having to do with servers, that's remotely managed too. We might get sent to "stop by" and see if something's shut down, but that's our involvement. This is why I want out. sfwarlock fucked around with this message at 14:32 on Aug 23, 2017 |

abigserve posted:ah ok. yeah that aint right. No dynamic routing or PPP setup? No. But it seems because this 1/3 interface is setup with a dynamic ip from this ISP, its acting like a trunk port on a switch. Its just as secondary internet line, but its also something that I am going to correct. I have never dealt with a dynamic ip'd interface on a router before and its thrown me off.

Irritated Goat posted:Kinda late but I do this. As far as monitors go HDMI = DVI. The video signal is identical, effectively a digital variant of VGA-style signaling, with the only differences being in the extra features HDMI supports like audio and ethernet channels. DisplayPort is technically a better standard (HDMI 2.1 is changing to be a lot more like DisplayPort than DVI) but should be visually identical to any other digital format. VGA I can typically see the difference at 1080p, but it's hard to tell below that. Lines and text start to smear a bit in to neighboring pixels.

Super Slash posted:Generally depends on the monitor as some old piece of crap will be very obvious, the simple way is VGA is poorest and anything is great. VGA is a bit of a crapshoot as modern monitors can be pretty good in dealing with it at 1080p but it's pretty common to get some bluriness going on. I'm using VGA on this 1080p monitor and it looks perfectly fine to me.  I also can't tell when fps drops in games unless it's super obviously lower than like 15 fps.

He even spent money on some utility to do it!

Interference normally starts being visible at 1280×1024 and above so you're borderline at that low resolution, but if you have cheap monitors they could well be analog panels inside anyway.

Are you absolutely positive this is an issue on the web server and not that every browser is serving a 404 because it doesn't want to accept the cert? I opened a support ticket when Chrome, Firefox, and IE wouldn't load our CUCM page, only to learn that all three were giving 404s instead of security warnings like they had previously.

Unless you need a green EV bar for compliance, use LetsEncrypt and an ACME client on every cert-having service. Otherwise, a shared calendar seems like a good tool for tracking events and generating reminder alerts.

Yea, the Apache log gets an entry like so: SSL initialization operation failed, return code error = 107 And then it shows the server being down with a big red dot. Start it back up, try to access the site, and it shuts down again.

CenturyLink update... Instead of marking the install as completed, this time they changed the installation date to the 28th, with zero notification. They have a backlog of work in the area (not my problem), and cannot give a firm date, but yet will still schedule a date, even though they know they will not be able to meet it. So basically, it will be installed whenever they loving feel like it. gently caress all telecom companies, just gently caress them right in the rear end.

Almost everything with DisplayPort inputs also has HDMI or DVI natively so I'm not sure how much of a market there'd actually be for the product.

We bought some Dell PC's, and then ordered some extra monitors that have VGA and DisplayPort The computers? HDMI and DVI We shuffled them around but you have to be careful you don't get hosed with monitors that don't have many inputs.

Irritated Goat posted:Kinda late but I do this. It's simple: at higher resolutions you start to get noticeable blurring of the analog signal in VGA, especially if the cable isn't high quality/is long, and the monitor can't fix that. HDMI/DVI/DisplayPort are the same quality as each other and better than VGA because no resolution will result in blurring, it'll simply be fully clear up to the device's maximum resolution and then won't be able to display higher. If you do a lot of work hooking up to like 1366x768 displays, you're generally not going to get the blurring to be noticeable. When you're up to 1920x1080 or 1920x1200, you start to get quite noticeable blurring with low quality connections, and going higher than that on VGA can make it so blurred if you don't have high quality components all the way through that you simply lose a bunch of your pixel data to it (like, trying to run CRTs at 2048x1536 back in the day). But the most important reason HDMI or DisplayPort is the best to use of all? Easiest to plug in and unplug.

Bob Morales posted:Yea, the Apache log gets an entry like so: The fact that it's "on access" vs. "on start" makes it sound like there's something in the website that's attempting to access something else with an expired/invalid SSL cert (doubly so with the first google result being "107 is the Secure socket API error code"), but yeah no matter how the stack's falling over the easiest solution is probably going to be "fix the cert and set a reminder for a couple weeks before the next time it happens". I'm not familiar with the actual tech there but there might be some sort of sandbox/development/"ignore SSL cert errors" switch you could throw in the config somewhere temporarily?
