I learned a new word today - never heard of a styptic pencil before. Just one of those things you somehow never run across in your life before! I don’t have anything interesting to say I just learned a thing and that’s cool E: drat what a lovely snipe poo poo pissing me off: working on automation this week to smoothly off board a fifth of the company. Morbid as hell, especially since none of us have any idea whether we’ll be going through it ourselves. Blah.

Sounds like you should make yourself unfireable. "No boss, I have no idea why it always crashes on processing The Iron Rose, but I guess we should skip me"

A colleague, who is tasked with installing a sftp-server in a DMZ, just asked: : Do you know a udp-alternative to ssh-sftp?me: What? Why? : Well, it's a DMZ, so tcp won't work because the replies would never reach the sender.This dude has a degree in Computer Science and 15 years of relevant work experience. And I really, really need to soundproof my home so that I can scream without the neighbours calling the police.

Once again, people need to stop it with this "Hi" or "Hello" or "Got a Minute" poo poo on chat. Them 11:12: Hi *waits a bit to see if anything is coming as a followup* Me 11:15: What's up? Them 11:20: Did you get a chance to take a look at that thing yet? 8 minutes wasted on what is essentially a non-question. Just ask for an update outright. At this point I'm just going to not respond at all to one word greetings until they actually follow up with content.

Instead of getting angry about such a trivial non-issue, maybe take the opportunity to connect with your coworker? Obviously they are just reaching out because they are vulnerable and need someone to talk to. Approach them with empathy and compassion and absolutely refuse to answer any work questions until you've had the opportunity to establish that they are in a good mental and emotional space.

Now you're a team player! zokie posted:I just started a new job and got explicitly told to start with a greeting and await a response before continuing All joking aside, people that do this think they're being polite but don't realize that any message at all is disruptive, and the having to wait for a response just makes it worse. If you want to have a conversation, have a conversation. If you need to ask a question, ask a question. Don't try to disguise the latter as the former.

After two months now of corona-chan closing doors for me getting a new job, I got a call back from a place that I had contacted back in February. They were interested in me then, but they wanted me to work nights and I declined (because I thought I had options lol) and they said they'd keep me in mind if something else opened up (which I assumed was a meaningless pleasantry). Well, they did call me on Monday and ask if I was still interested if they had a day job, I said yes, they scheduled an interview for yesterday, I nailed it, and now all I have to do is pass an aptitude test they're sending me. The job will pay 17% more than my last stop, I will be working about 25% fewer hours, and they pay OT even on salary. I will have to move, but it's to a nice area with a lower CoL than where I'm at now.

smugmug managed to migrate all of flickr's data into AWS in about a year after they bought that stinky old site from verizon. All that stuff was still living on whatever servers yahoo had tossed it on. They did have a day of downtime because of it though. The original window was 12 hours but they totally blew past that and things were down for about a day.

ookiimarukochan posted:It was easily 10 years after they bought Hotmail that MS even managed to have SOME of it running on Windows That isn't even the worst crime about Hotmail. Don't forget it was not until LAST YEAR that Azure/Office 365 passwords could be longer than 16 characters, due to the loving Hotmail backend hanging around. That was some bullshit let me tell you, and it was especially ridiculous that you could have longer passwords by syncing them from on-premises AD (because it would just sync the hash), but if you wanted to use Azure self-service password reset, your users couldn't type in a longer password to the SSPR page because even though it theoretically was just writing it back to AD, the 16-character limit still applied. So you were stuck telling people they had to use the password change dialog in Windows like it was 1999.

At work for a very long time our passwords had to be exactly 8 characters. That's the union of the maximum character length of HP-UX and the minimum in Active Directory. We still call account names UnixIDs, and we probably will be after the last person employed while the HP-UX environment was active has retired.

Internet Explorer posted:I This exact reason was how I got our CEO to move off outlook. We’re a gsuite shop and he was the only person still using Outlook. The in-app support, as you might expect, was useless. Emails just stopped being delivered to his inbox one day, both outlook and google kept tossing the problem at each other. Back when I was still doing some tickets at this company I spent probably about 12 hours white glove helping through it before the inevitable conclusion of “just use Gmail” was finally reached. It was lovely tech work but it was easily the most useful time I spent all quarter. the CEO was great and now he knows my name and thinks I walk on water, and that’s how I survived the literal decimation of our company on Tuesday.

Fantastic. The twist here is we're a Microsoft shop and use O365. Good luck ever trying to get help with the iOS Mail app, Gmail, or any of the built-in email apps for Android, from Microsoft. It blows my mind that this is their idea of "support" on their first party apps.
