Scikar posted:I would guess you probably got to the bottom of this (or this is sarcasm), but just in case, if these work like IBM RSAs then dedicated means "use the specific NIC for the DRAC", and shared means "piggyback off one of the regular NICs for the server itself". So depending on your network setup that might explain why you couldn't see it. Handy if you're limited on switch ports or are shipping the server off somewhere and you know that an idiot will be plugging it in at the other end. Yeah, newer Supermicro IPMIs are exactly the same as you describe above as well.

stevewm posted:My boss is horrible about this.. Anytime I tell him something can't be done with what we have currently (because he is to drat cheap to upgrade stuff) his favorite line is "With today's technology I can't believe that it won't do that..." I cringe anytime I hear it. If you have outdated gear, wouldn't the easy retort be "Well, unfortunately sir, we don't really have 'today's technology' in the office due to budget concerns, so we have to make do with what we have?" (depending, of course, on whether such a retort would get you raked over the coals or not).

Dilbert As gently caress posted:Anyone else work with a goon? Yeah, I got my current position via the SH/SC job posting thread and now the person responsible is my direct-report boss. I also think my coworker has an account but I dunno if they ever post. I've never had anything I've posted brought up as an issue and I self-censor enough that it should be difficult to know who we are, so as long as it remains not an issue, it's not an issue, IMO.

I want the people I work with to act like professionals. Nah, I'm the same way. I'll just lock said person's computer/phone/other gadget and maybe send them a nice email warning them that someone not as nice as I am may get to them first next time, so be careful.

SubjectVerbObject posted:I am supposed to be pressing a button on a ticket to start the clock when I am working on a case, and then press it again when I am not. So what they want me to do is start timer on case A, work case A, get call on case B, stop timer on case A, start timer on case B, finish call on case B, stop timer on case B, go back to case A, start timer on case A, etc. 75% of my time needs to be put on cases. Luckily we can just add time to cases, and that is what I do, especially since I tend to work on 2-3 things at once. Jesus christ, that would drive me absolutely mental. I already don't handle being micromanaged well - it being done to that degree would probably make me lose my mind.

foghorn posted:"Do the needful" is an old chestnut that our customers in India have been using for a while, but they all seem to have jumped on the "please revert" bandwagon as well. Even if they don't completely grasp what it means. Point in case, another ticket from a couple nights ago, same customer. Yeah, I run into that a lot. It's usually "Please revert back to us", which I usually take to mean something closer to "please report back to us", I guess?

Entropic posted:I keep seeing goons defend Win8 and condescend to anyone who would want a new computer with an outdated OS like Windows 7. Check the build-a-new-computer threads. Mind you, it's usually with the caveat that Windows 8 is perfectly fine as soon as you use a bunch of third-party hacks to make it not look like Windows 8 any more. Yeah, I think the derision/condescension comes towards people who just unilaterally bash Win8 without the acknowledgement that it does have some pretty solid improvements under the hood and stuff. It's just more that the Modern interface (and irritations like doubling of programs to have an "app" version) is such a headache that it doesn't justify the good.

peak debt posted:I loving can't stand the conversations starting with a "Hi" followed by silence. Other than that, I'd rather have somebody IM me than email, it saves me from adding the "Hello X / Kind Regards" bullshit, and it's much easier to extend a conversation if poo poo turns out to be more complex than originally thought. That is one of the single most infuriating IM habits ever. Holy poo poo. Open a conversation with at least a brief blurb about what you want so I can ascertain whether it's important enough to stop what I'm doing at the moment or I just need to ask you to wait and I'll get back with you when I have time. Jesus christ.

nexxai posted:Whoa, I think you're getting a little bent out of shape there. If they don't include any information, just ignore it; wait until there's some substance to respond to. No need to freak the gently caress out about it. What, is annoyed hyperbole no longer allowed in the thread or something?  It's really just annoying because with the people that do it, if you ignore them, you just go into a repeated pattern of "hi" "hello" "hi?" "you there?" and it's like "yes, I'm here but I'm busy, what do you want?".

Seriously, no poo poo. "These documents are beyond mission critical and thus we would like for them to be backed up past the point of redundancy" is a good mindset and an all-too-rare one.
