mllaneza posted:Requiring a ticket c n also be a great labor-saving technique. I frequently get lab managers coming to me with an idea, we talk it over, hash out requirements and basically define a small project. Then I ask them to put in a ticket so we can schedule the work. Easily half the time I never hear about it again and I can get back to the forums in peace. my fav thing is when someone calls and i give them something to try that might or might not work and ask them to open a ticket if it doesn't. they almost never do the ticket. did my suggestion work, or did they simply stop giving a poo poo? i don't care

I was forced to make a diagram of a WSUS server updating one other server. It's the most shameful thing I've ever done.

It amazes me that WSUS has managed to stick around as long as it has whilst being ignored and neglected by Microsoft seemingly forever.

It is absolute horseshit but not everyone made the licensing leap to get to Intune or whatever they use these days for updates and patch management. I've been out of the world for so long now though I dont even know what the latest/greatest is.

Nevermind, I think I maybe found it what our problem is:  Seems like the computers now have two OSes in the boot list that are now fighting each other or some poo poo. IDK, it's just a huge clusterfuck and now I'm probably gonna have to go onsite a whole bunch today. Goddamn it.

https://www.gadgetany.com/news/microsoft-discontinues-keyboard-mouse-and-webcam-products-under-surface-brand/ No more microsoft branded mouse and keyboards, kinda mad, i have been using them for as long as i can remember since they are built like tanks. I have keyboards that no longer have markings but still work as the moment it was purchased and mouse that melted every rubber but are as precise as new. I dread having to get GAMER stuff to avoid biodegradable stuff.

Yay email from chase saying my email address was changed and I can't log into my account. The password was a long randomly generated one, so either they were owned (it's possible - there's a 20+ minute wait on the sapphire reserve line, which I've never seen before), someone at customer service was phished, or my keepass or Google vaults were owned (I doubt it).

Yeah, they called the line at 9PM last night and had them change the phone number and email address on file so they could do a password reset. They then did a points transfer to Air Canada.

There were no links in the email, just an advisory to check my account.  The fraud person said they had the last 4 of my credit card and my CVV code, so they're sending me a new card. Wonder how they got it.

It's an interesting time for sas dates: for the month of April this year the number of days since Jan 1 1960 is such that April 20th is '23120', April 27th is '23127' etc so that raw sas dates look really close at a glance to a (downshifted by a couple of months) yymdd format, and I've already seen one oopsie where someone ran a program as at a triggerdate that they got from a log of a previous run and thought it was a date in January.

The supervisor of the supervisor of this program asked me to take a look at the ipads of some front line staff; like for some reason there was hesitancy from my CEO to want to connect these to an MDM so they're basically personal devices with the sys admin who proceeded me's apple ID signed into them. Well now they need updates because they can't sign into Outlook anymore. This supervisor of their supervisor is very busy with some legit important poo poo so I'm not going to try to talk them through signing in a different media account or whatever and just say yeah, I'll look at them during my in-office time, and ask them when they have a chance to drop them off with my supervisor who very kindly does most of the legwork for me these days. They drop them off with him at 3:30 PM on Friday. Monday morning at noon I get an email from that staff, "CAN WE GO PICK THESE UP?" Like even if I worked in the office still, I'm not staying late on a Friday to work an iOS device and it's definitely not the priority Monday morning even if I didn't have a fairly substantial thing to tackle like I did. So I say, "sorry if the expectation was set otherwise but I generally work in office Tuesday evenings, I will take a look at them then." Of course, no chargers. So I'm now charging them with phone chargers. I don't even have two lightning cables anymore because they've all been stolen from my office, just one that I hid, and one in my bag that belongs to me. After 3 hours one was at 15% the other was at 11% so yeah. Now I have to find out what level of problem this is going to be and if I'm going to have to go in tomorrow evening too and hope they're charged or if I can just do this next week. I mean it's pretty clear they actually haven't been used for quite some time but doubt that will make a difference.

So, one of my ISPs has been having intermittent packet loss/disconnects for the past month or so. Net eng told me they don't have any monitoring (???) and rely on "pockets of customer complaints" to identify issues. Also they would have to send someone to physically plug in to the gateway, enable logging, return later to gather the logs, and then n additional times to attempt to fix it? I've never had a company be so casual about specifics before, but I've also never had such a seemingly simple issue take so long to get resolved. Especially when it's just fiber to the building then copper to me. There's 42 customers in this building, so I'm assuming its two 40G links to what nmap says is a C7200. snmp v3 seems to be enabled from the inside. I've shown them traceroute of the loss happening on the outside of the gateway. They wouldn't even get the eng to call me until they wasted a tech's time to come out and test the ports. It's going to be wild if it took them this long to gather the proof they need to file a ticket with the upstream provider.
