For this devops tutorial on fartknocker3000, it only runs kubernetes, you need to install sneak, fart, poo poo, boxy and apple-train. Disable any firewalls, selinux and run as root. Make sure root's password is set to password or else you may encounter problems along the way. Fart requires wall and table 8. Table 8 is not compatible with boxy 3. Boxy 4 was released yesterday but it should work. If you somehow need to remake fartknocker3000 and didn't take a VM aware snapshot, you have to start over with all your data, the restore solution is still being written by Tommy who is 7.

*Okay [accounts_manager], I've been told that you and your department are spending several days per week manually keying in transactions from the weighing software over to our database application to bill customers. I've spent 5 minutes looking in to it, and have found you can just export the transactions from the weighing software and import them via a CSV. I have even tried it myself on my test database. All you need to do is click this "export" button, set a date range, click this "import" button and you are done. When you are ready to invoice, just press this "Generate Invoices" button. It is that easy! You just need to make sure you do not open and save the CSV with Excel as it will break the formatting. Seriously, this will save you days of work per week, just do not open and save with Excel!* ~A month later~ *Whats that? You are getting "Customer Not Found" warnings when trying to generate invoices? Did you by any chance open and save the exported files in Excel? Whats that!? You had to do that as you didn't know Edge saves things in your Downloads folder by default? Opening the download in Excel and saving it to your documents folder was the only way you could find the file? Whats that!?! You CC'ed the Directors in this email chain, complaining about all the work you will need to do manually and blaming me for not setting things up right? Wow, sure would be a shame if I replied back with our email conversation and the call recording of me telling you several times not to open the loving file in Excel...

If it can be hosed up, they will gently caress it up. Any chance to have it output as a non-defaults-to-excel file extension, e.g. just anything like .dat, .out...

Steakandchips posted:If it can be hosed up, they will gently caress it up. Nah, the weighing software is old as balls and will only allow a user to export as XLS or CSV. I was suprised it worked in Edge with minimal tinkering and wasn't hard coded to IE5 or something. The company that supplies the hardware said we are the only org running a version this old. They have newer software, but that requires newer hardware with a £100,000+ price tag so yeah not happening. Thanks Ants posted:Push a registry key to change the file association for CSV to Notepad I did think of doing that, but we have other CSV files coming in which they actually need to look at. For once it had a happy ending though - one of the Directors replied and basically said "You've worked on a computer for 20+ years, you should know how to save a file from a web browser, and if you didn't know that you should ask, so go back and re-export all the files and do it properly this time".

They could not possibly give less of a poo poo if you report them for wage theft. The chances of them having to pay anything other than the money they already owe are vanishingly small. Stealing from your employer is crime, stealing from your employees is Just Good Business.

So I think my pod is cracking. I'm fine with management making decisions I don't agree with, or wouldn't do that way, and quite happy to implement things that have been asked for me. Give me a spec and I'll make you a server or a powershell script or whatever that does what you asked for. But the boss lately seems to have a massively reduced attention span, probably because of stress from above and can't make a decision and then stick to it. So I'll be like, "Hey I've done 80% of the thing you asked for, but this bit is an issue would you like me to handle it this way or that way", and then it's all "why are you doing this thing? who told you to do this thing, you know all jobs are suppossed to come through me" and then decide that the thing is a poo poo idea that we shouldn't do, and denies it when I point out that he's the one who asked me to do it. I've had so many small projects cancelled lately. Yes I document all the things he asks for and I raise a ticket for it and put it in his name but that doesn't count for poo poo as he has an outlook rule to auto filter emails from the helpdesk because he gets too many of them. Combine that with some decisions that IMO are really bad from a security perspective, and most of the work that I do still have being blocked by people who never respond to emails (we're back in WFH because covid, so I can't wander over and ask them) and it's really hard to find the motivation to start any task I'm given. Even my team leader is like "wait a couple of days and see if he even remembers asking for it". I'm hoping things will calm down after the big scary migration is over (the one that will cost us a years worth of colo fees if we don't get out of the old datacentre in time) but right now it's just loving depressing.

That sucks and sounds super frustrating. I would switch projects off from tickets and onto something for project management, like kanban. Do daily standups or some sort of frequent check-in with your boss, that way there's more of an understanding and if not, it gets correctly more quickly.

Most of the time he doesn't turn up to standups, and when he does turn up. I'm kinda reluctant to go into detail about what I'm working on because he'll end up canning the thing on me, or making bullshit changes to something that's 95% complete and already agreed with both him and the people who asked for the thing. As for project management, there's no formal method in place, most of the team are just using spreadsheets. I started making tickets for mine just so there's some documentation (and because half the project requests come in as incident tickets anyway). When they finally started caring about SLAs, I persuaded the helpdesk admin to make a category for projects. Jira was mentioned a while back and the boss flat out refuses as he doesn't want the team to become a dev team so we don't need it.

If you use something that generates status emails to him, at least it will get around the rule where he's got tickets going to a black hole. You know, until he does the same for you stuff, but at least you can then say you try to keep him up to date but he doesn't attend meetings and he black holed your updates. He can't say "oh well those get stuck with tickets" if he's specifically doing yours as well.

Call him out in a polite way? You should have plenty of documentation by now of all the half-baked and unfinished projects. Also if asking him for opinions is causing problems for you, maybe stop asking for them? Trust yourself and finish it the way you would want them done. If you think the project is a dumb idea try to delay even starting by doing something else worthwhile. If other people are getting in your way to accomplish his stupid ideas don’t take it upon yourself to champion the project through those people. Instead have them bring up their objections to your manager and have him solve the politics or whatever.

Half the time emails don't get read and he HATEs it if you go direct to one of the other stakeholders or make a decision without his input (I've gotten grief for that a few times, even for just accidentally letting slip information he wasn't ready to tell the other teams yet), everything has to go through him. It really doesn't help that we're polar opposites in communication style with me much preferring written as it's easier to comprehend and him much preferring verbal (which I'm ok at, but do struggle when it's over Teams). Before covid it wasn't a major issue but since then we've grown massively and the scope of everything we do is so much greater with so many more moving parts. It's mainly when an existing agreed thing gets changed two weeks later, because even when I follow up a conversation with an email it doesn't get read and then when I show him the email it's just "no that's wrong, I wouldn't have told you that"

Steakandchips posted:All fine and dandy, but I guarantee you, once it is up and running, your company will scan to one SP directory or local folder till the end of time, and said dir/folder will grow to hold tens of thousands of scans, such as scan9945667.pdf and it will never be cleaned out and finding anything in it will be impossible. I'm converting all of the internal scan to folder crap that I inherited to scan to email. I'm not giving them any other options. There's no excuse for them to need anything else in 2022.

There's no excuse for them to need anything else in 2022. Sensible. As someone who has used scan to email, please make sure there’s a phonebook on the scanner and typing in “Ste” for example will lead to a drop down where you can select peoples names from a scrollable alphabetical list, and the use could, for example select “Steakandchips”. This scanner phonebook would be kept up to date via your corporate phonebook. Otherwise you will receive n number of tickets of where is my scan/email broken.

I worked on a team supporting some clinicians. A particular group of clinicians would email about an issue, be told to submit a ticket, submit the ticket with a description saying they had emailed about it, then send an email stating they submitted a ticket. It didn't bother me but that sequence of steps just infuriated my teammate every time.

The quickest way to people to look at a message is to tag it as low priority. Everyone is busy using high priority all the time and mentally blocks out the !, but will wonder what a blue arrow means. That, or attempt a recall on the message.

3rd party contractor calls in this morning because he can't get connected to the VPN - he hasn't done any work for us in 90 days, so his 2 factor token has been revoked. The Support agent that took the initial call let him know that he will need to work with his supervisor and company liaison to get a replacement token. Calls back 23 minutes later upset because he talked to his supervisor, but he still can't connect to the VPN. Doesn't want to hear that the act of speaking with his supervisor does not magically reinstate his access. Oh, well, it looks like a  back into the world of academia might possibly be in my future. Fingers crossed

I set up an auto-reply for all high-importance messages that gave some information for things people should be doing for urgent issues. It was really just passive-aggressively forcing people who use high-importance emails to deal with an auto-reply.
