Before various divisions were sold off, we had one that went to ALL 15,000ish NA employees. After a couple hours and HUNDREDS of emails, people started either melting down or sending hilariously sarcastic replies. One VP sent a blistering reply-all saying that if people didn't STOP REPLYING THIS INSTANT OR THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES. YOU MAY EVEN BE FIRED! Someone in the Messaging team finally spoiled the fun by bringing the hammer down and killing it. Also, the VP that freaked ended "leaving for other opportunities" a couple weeks later. I still have a greatest hits of that event that I exported to a PST on my network share.

I've have not been in any e-mail shitstorms. I've only heard glimpses of some stuff that happened over e-mails here. Which were pretty juicy.

Maybe we'll get them complete desktops next year. We upgraded 60'ish systems this year, and delayed the need to purchase almost 60 computers by doing that. Huge budget saver. Not that anyone noticed/cared (I'm bitter today)

Someone help me out, is it possible to put a second router on a Subnet, have certain PCs use that as gateway and then just forward internet traffic to the "real" router? I'm thinking no because the reverse IP would be a mismatch but I can't wrap my brain around it right now. Background is trying to get an easy solution to have our admin PCs be able to work with customer networks we are setting up at our location before deployment without having to set them up on our clumsy main routing infrastructure that makes this needlessly complicated. I wanna just insert an edgerouter. and have it 'split' the management traffic to the network of the day.

I'm thinking no because the reverse IP would be a mismatch but I can't wrap my brain around it right now. I think what you're looking for is a function of a layer 3 switch called Policy Based Routing. Basically allows you to route internal traffic based on source instead of destination. We use it because, as an ISP, we have millions of customer devices floating around, some with multiple private IP addresses. We ran out of 10. space a long time ago, so internally we use public IP space like it's private through policy based routing. Blew my loving mind when I learned about it. At least I think that's the answer, I only know what it is because it's a question I got wrong on a recent job interview

What I do know is that we have some insanely intelligent people who set that up so I'm sure there's a real good reason for it. If I had to guess, probably backwards compatibility with old rear end legacy devices.

I feel like i know the answer to this, but my google searches hasn't come out to kind of expected answer I am looking for. In azure ad sync, if I choose not to sync some attributes of objects do those attributes become configurable in office 365 even if the object itself is sync'd?

Going to finally replace that $4k Surface Studio that Bill bought for him. In reference to the SSD discussion this laptop does have a spinny disk in it, as a secondary. The OS/app drive is an SSD and the spinny is 1 TB for storage of work files and what will probably be an extensive collection of porn.

So, someone keeps plugging in some sort of smart device that's self-registering on DNS as localhost.<internal corporate domain> and loving a bunch of poo poo up. Of course, lol we did the first time this morning was remove the entry (but not the PTR because whothefuckknows) and that's it. Now it's back and loving poo poo up again.

Thanks Ants posted:There's not really a use case for spinning disks outside of shared storage. Maybe workstations that need tons of local storage. Large amounts of local storage is the only use for spinning drives now, since SSDs >1TB are still pretty expensive, and typically that large amount of store will not be accessed a ton.

Although it's assigned to the U.S. DoD, they've said it's okay to use for internal private networks, as the IP space will never appear on the public internet. It gives people a whole other Class A block that is 'safe' for network management purposes if you can't deploy IPv6.

All sorts of drama today, 2 days before the holiday break. We're doing a poo poo ton of renovations to get to a DevOps workspace, so no more offices, just open 8 person cubes. Yay. They took my wall. I miss my wall. And there's burly men all over moving things around and banging hammers and drilling things and we can't close the door for "security purposes". Bah. And our Helpdesk team lead just got suspended for 3 days for spending too much time on YouTube. I mean yeah, he pulled down 20gb in the past 30 days. But so what? Guy's gotten glowing reviews, our helpdesk is fantastic, there's never been complaints about the work that gets done. They wouldn't even let the guy defend himself, or see the usage logs. Not to mention they're basing this 20gb on the IP address, since we can't track usage by AD account (yet). And he doesn't have a static IP, so who even knows where this came from. Smells like a witch hunt to me. Why does all this poo poo have to happen right before holidays? Like this time of year isn't enough of a poo poo show.

I mean, there's 3 unpaid days there, but that doesn't sound like a bad stretch of time. Spend some days with the family, catch up on sleep and Netflix, apply for some jobs.
