Even if you don't have the authority or the social currency to call someone out, changing your own language and sticking to it can affect change on those around you. Hang out with people enough and you start picking up their idioms and phrasing. We joke about "doing the needful" but mimicking speech patterns is a strong way to identify with an in-group and has enormous weight on our psychology. I'm the SME in several areas our company is expanding into like Intune and AWS Workspaces and I've noticed that how I shorthand describe processes are almost universally picked up by people I direct and interact with over time. Especially if the person is coming into the knowledge fresh. Why yes, IT is a second career from clinical psych, why do you ask. Takkaryx fucked around with this message at 19:32 on Jan 28, 2022 |

I've been playing FFXIV a lot and have more than once now replied to an email with "<this thing> needs must be updated before <other thing>" and only realized when I was reading the emails after the fact. I will die on the allow/white and block/blacklist hill though. Even though our own platform SAS whitelist, I only ever refer to it as allowlist. Nobody's questioned me on it yet.

Some combination of Terraform/Ansible/Powershell DSC? The big problem I see is not the spinning up of instances themselves, but programmatically migrating services, since things like DCs aren't typically / easily moved from one instance to another with the same name and IP address. (I've done it, manually, quite a lot, but it's a pain in the rear end decomming the old one, making sure all references to it in AD are removed, and then spinning up the new one). Do I just need to combine a devops deployment platform with a bunch of customized Powershell scripts to migrate things?

Really hating HP right now. Our G3s are suddenly losing audio and it can't be recovered without a full format. Windows Audio Service and MMBuilder's registry keys have weird permissions, but even after that's fixed the drivers refuse to work. SFC and DISM useless, per usual. And then I spent 4 hours trying to change a fuser in a Color Laserjet M452dn. Most just slide in and out, not this one. You have to open the top and side panels, attach two wiring harnesses yourself, and then they put a ZIF jumper right in the middle of what you're supposed to change so it gets pulled out easily. The control panel also uses such a ribbon cable from the opposite corner of the machine to the same board, and good luck if you broke any of those cables during this process.

Today I looked up whether Parsec finally has an iOS/iPadOS app, turns out they still don't. I found tweets from spring 2020 saying it's a future goal, and another from January 2022 practically saying the same. Considering they leaned hard into home office/remote working, why in the gently caress they don't have the very least an iPad app is puzzling. If anyone's gonna use a remoting device, a tablet is a very likely target, and iPads is defacto the tablet. I figured the acquisition by Unity would have done something, but I guess not.

It’s the same issue that stops the various cloud gaming outfits from publishing on App Store. If it’s doing remote gaming, Apple will throw a shitfit and stops it from publishing since they expect dedicated listing for every game or software. Best case scenario is html5 client portals unless they throw a big antitrust spanner in Apple works.

Anydesk and Teamviewer are on the store, too, and some more direct alternatives to Parsec (e.g. Moonlight). Nowadays, Parsec is just another remote desktop tool. The ability to game is a side effect in how it implements the display content streaming. I mean, it's running against selfhosted systems, unlike Xbox Cloud Gaming or Geforce Now. Apple really needs a kick in the balls about their loving app store and the ridiculously draconian rules related to it.

The OS is only three years old. What’s the hurry to migrate? Jesus the TAM can't even help me? OUTRAGEOUS. I demand to speak to your manager. This client drops multiple thousands of dollars a year on your service, we expect solutions! Multiple thousands! Up to and including possibly 10 thousand American dollars! You'd think AWS would want to help what I can only presume is one of their biggest customers! (sorry for triggering you) It's more that for some reason Windows Update isn't working correctly on these 2019 instances - I haven't actually checked this out myself but my junior admin claims he's tried everything and they just won't update. So the thought is we should migrate to new instances anyway, and since we're not paying for the licenses, why not just move to 2022 since it's not that different from 2019. We also tend to keep our clients up to date Windows Server-wise, which we (and they) can afford to do because they're small to midsize so they don't have huge numbers of OS instances. I sympathize with all of you still dealing with Server 2016 (speaking of updating problems), or even worse 2012 R2 or before. And I figured, instead of spending a week migrating server workloads manually like some sort of OLD PERSON still crowing about when he got his MCSE, why don't I get with the times and automate it, except I was reasonably sure all that old poo poo isn't amenable to being automatably migrated easily which is why I asked. I also liked the idea because I'd find it cleaner to redeploy all the infra every month with the newest WS2022 AMI, and of course having that kind of thing automated once means I could automate it for other customers and/or new customers, such that if we got a new customer I could easily deploy a full AD infrastructure with two clicks. I wonder if there's a phrase for this kind of thing. Hmm, "infrastructure through scripts" maybe? Anyway my plan was that after getting this set up I could concentrate on finding an additional job and being the next Sickening.

2022 Not that different? Hope you never need to expand the c: drive ever, because they put the recovery volume at the end of the drive vs of before the data volume. Also quote:It's more that for some reason Windows Update isn't working correctly on these 2019 instances - I haven't actually checked this out myself but my junior admin claims he's tried everything and they just won't update. I would "trust, but verify" this. If you're running WSUS (and being an old school admin), just click "check from microsoft" directly to see if it updates. I can guarantee they're missing a service stack update. quote:I wonder if there's a phrase for this kind of thing. Hmm, "infrastructure through scripts" maybe? You're so insanely close to infrastructure as code.

SharePoint doing exactly what it should be doing. The link you provided is just a link. Without any kind of verification when opening it's effectively a link accessible to the public internet that hasn't leaked yet. E: There's a setting in SharePoint Admin Center where you can allow links accessible to the public internet w/o verification, but I guarantee an admin turned that off for good reasons. klosterdev fucked around with this message at 16:38 on Jan 31, 2022 |

Yeah the updates thing is on my list of things to check out because I assume it's missing some update that tells it how to access updates now and my admin just hasn't figured it out. Though we're not using WSUS because gently caress that noise, moved away from it as soon as possible, so when I say it's not updating I mean not updating from Microsoft. I allocate my C drives usually with about 80-100 GB, and replace/migrate server instances often enough that it's never been an issue. (And no data ever gets stored on the system drive obviously, if it's a OSE that has data on it - I give DCs a 20 GB D: drive just so that SYSVOL/NTDS/NTDSLogs aren't on C:, stuff like that). But uh, yeah, that's some real lovely behavior RE the recovery volume, why the hell did they change that. incoherent posted:You're so insanely close to infrastructure as code. couuuuuuggghhhh

If the rooms are on different electrical supplies and there's a possibility of a ground potential difference then not running copper between the rooms makes sense. Unlikely if these are just two rooms in the same building though. Did the cables ever run past rooms that had lots of electrical equipment in?
