Collateral Damage posted:To be fair that is not a terrible policy, because most stuff addressed to a function instead of a person IS junk mail. If you've negotiated a contract the issuer should have the name of a counterparty on it, so in this case it's the sender's fault. We named our shredder "IT Manager" for this reason.

poo poo pissing me off: our datacenter ISP is announcing our 2 mexican datacenters /26's (in different aggregate /24's  ) via Texas. So traffic from my apartment in mexico city to my dev server in mexico city goes to Cogent in McAllen TX, Houston, Dallas, to Level3 in Houston, McAllen and back to mexican city. Thanks, extra 80 ms of latency.Apparently this is done to improve our US connectivity, which is great since we have no US customers at all.

Our Stockholm office is all stand/sit desks that you can adjust and I have an Aeron. Unfortunately our mexico city office has just big long tables because ~~startup feeling~~ (and because there aren't any IKEAs where you can cheaply acquire these). My back isn't happy.

But if yo have to manage groups and stuff, it's a loving nightmare (I know there is PowerShell stuff, but out of the box it's all so loving rear end backwards.) We're well north of 2k people in the google apps domain at work and it works well. Idunno what they use to manage it though, but probably some scripting on top of the HR system (or the AD that HR feeds into).

She tried to get me to sign a statement that I quit without notice, I told her I'd told my boss in writing that poo poo was about to go down. Things might be different where you are, but in my staff handbook it actually specifies the format of giving notice, which is basically "I, <name> with national ID number <blah>, resign from my position at <company>. Signed, ______ <date> <city>". Saying "bad things will happen" would be interpreted by me as a threat, not a notice.

Thanks Ants posted:I have brand loyalty to Dell because it's not an absolute chore to purchase Dell hardware. Whatever HP have done has totally hosed the process. My ordering process for HP owns. I call my salesperson at my VAR, say "I need 3 more servers exactly like I bought last month and VMware licenses for them, let me know when they're ready for delivery to the datacenter and I'll give you a delivery number". you're probably doing it wrong

Thanks Ants posted:I might just have poo poo suppliers. When I buy Dell I have a list of options, and I build a server up from those options. At every step the compatibility of the parts is verified and an order sheet is created. You have a poo poo supplier, mine checks compat for me and only sold me stuff that works. Hell, there's even those do Supermicros that they guarantee will work well with FreeBSD (mullet.se is one) so there's deffo for HP. Mine hosed up once when they didn't update the firmware on the new Gen8s, not enabling AES-NI instructions and therefore screwing up vMotion cluster compatibility but that's about it over the 4 years I've dealt with them.

Trammel posted:He was suggesting that the other poster was "doing it wrong", because the solution was simply calling your supplier for hardware if you need a new server. Then presumably waiting a few days. There's other solutions now. I'm aware of this - I use most of my physical machines to run VMware.  or rented VM solutions sadly aren't always the best given certain criteria, and sometimes you need physical hardware in a specific location. (In my case EBS performance wasn't up to scratch for Postgres when I built it out, and rented VMs with the SLA I needed would cost more than running it myself with less overall suckage)

Congrats Dick Trauma! poo poo pissing me off: The interaction of OSX, my macbook pro, a Dell monitor and HDMI. I just started a new job and got a rMBP, and since this is a hyped tech company, 2 27" monitors. Our office wifi is not very good (i got dropped like 5 times in as many minutes in one meeting), so I got a Thunderbolt ethernet adapter. The 27"ers are Dell so they don't do Thunderbolt, only MiniDP - if they were Apple displays they'd a) do thunderbolt and GbE built-in and b) be glossy as gently caress. So, one monitor is plugged in to thunderbolt, the other on HDMI. For some reason (probably just to spite me), the HDMI monitor won't work if I wake the computer from screensaver - just the built-in display and the MiniDP display. Solution? Unplug and plug in the HDMI connector. I'm soooo looking forward to getting a thunderbolt hub. Also pissing me off: my wireless gaming mouse they provided is stuttering and not actually tracking the pointer. But it's got like 700 butans so I've got that going for me.

Che Delilas posted:Take note, management: this kind of thing is exactly how you handle crunch/crisis. Not to mention how we were taken care of during it - beyond the normal "catered lunch and dinner every day", since we were working long hours taxis/ubers home were expensed and there was always a coffee station set up in our work area (with HR coming in on weekends to make sure we were fed and caffeinated). I mean, the crisis sucked but there are a lot worse ways to handle the aftermath.

Comcast. Bought a modem, signed up for a plan, connected at my new place. Activated modem, got link. Then I checked my speed and got like 0.1 Mbps through it and internet is unusable. I did some troubleshooting thing where they rebooted my modem and now I get no link at all. Great, MiFi for the whole weekend it is I guess. Of course, the only time slots available for a guy to look at it tomorrow are 07.30-08 and 08-10.

Of course, now there's an outage that won't be fixed until 1AM. loving third-world internet in the bay area, I long for my Mexico City ISP that gave me 100/100 on fiber.

DAF you should come work in the bay area. Showing up at work before 11 isn't always required and nobody gives a gently caress how you're dressed. Personally I roam the office with a wizard hat when i'm troubleshooting, and we have a guy that walks barefoot everywhere. You'd probably fit right in here.
