Serious question that I've had on my mind for a while:

What;s the cheapest/simplest method of broadcasting multiple SSIDs, even if none of them have the ability to act as an AP?

I was hoping for something a bit more whimsical, rather than violent.

if they're not grounded, they would, else how is a stable electrical field going to be achieved.

grounding creates a stable field. not that it matters in this case since there's huge holes in the middle of the cage.

Season 2 gets hilariously terrible, because you can always see the exact moment in each episode they write themselves into a corner and contrive bullshit for a solution.

This is why you ignore those until HR comes to bug you about it.

Also because internal surveys, for me at least, have historically only been used as ammo by the HR department when they want to make someone look bad

Yeah, I wasn't sure why CIFS/SMB were somehow identified separately. Noise I guess.

Silo in this context is 2-3 teams buying poo poo that does the same thing - usually after having dedicated tools and shared access, or not telling other teams the poo poo they're doing (which impacts the other team), or people literally hiding the poo poo they're doing because they know they're doing it wrong.

Our sysadmin to our boss "I'm not supporting those computers until they pull their heads out of their asses. You can figure out the nice way to say that and no, I'm not wasting my time attending that meeting they invited me to."

Our boss considers that a perfectly acceptable thing to say to him and will play diplomat with the incompetent department.

^^^ Yes. VDSL isn't available because of some excuse about the quality of the copper in the building, and fibre hasn't been run.

I was being overdramatic, but we're on Zealandia which is either a microcontinent or a submerged continent depending on your scientific views.

Actually, Danish fibre speeds have been downgraded to VDSL2 speeds because "the Danes don't care about fiber optics" according to their BT-equivalent phone company.

This is a production physical server without disk cleanup installed. When we asked when we could reboot it to install the feature, we were told no downtime was acceptable. Sometimes this place is incredible.

I always learned that as long as the wires are the same on both ends, and you keep the pairs paired, the actual colors didn't matter. Is this not true?

I imagine crosstalk would gently caress it up if you have tx and rx or either with poe in the same twisted pair. Not make it totally unusable, but would impact performance especially if you are running 1gig and poe

Question time.

I have a client who has about 900MB of SOP and JSA documentation and needs a way to distribute this to a bunch of users in the field who use company issued iPads attached to the corporate MDM MaaS360 (PS: gently caress MaaS360). The goal is to limit the amount of mobile data usage to near-zero (for this solution) because these guys are literally out in the wilderness and need access to the documents no matter where they are, which likely means a local (potentially cached) copy of every single document. The devices have enough storage so physically storing them is not a problem, but I'm running into roadblocks trying to find something that will accomplish this for us.

The ideas that have been suggested and why we don't *think* they apply (but I'd be happy to be proven wrong on any of them) are:

• Dropbox - Does not provide a method to locally cache that many documents, we don't think
  
• OneDrive - See Dropbox
  
• SharePoint - Is loving SharePoint

I don't need the app to be super polished or pretty looking; as long as it does the job reliably, I'm interested. I have a hard time believing we're the first people to have this problem, but all of my googling has turned up nothing but apps that help you create SOPs (we've already got them created; just need to get them to the device), or file sharing apps that have no concept of caching.

Anyone have any ideas or places I should look closer?

Is there a limit on the number or size of folders I can make available offline?

You can make up to 100 folders available offline.

A folder can't be saved for offline use if:

The folder contains more than 10,000 files

The folder contains more than 100 GB

A ticket came in (at midnight):

"Database full in Exchange server"
User called in reporting that he hasn’t gotten email since 1:00pm today. We investigated inside the exchange server and found an error on one of the exchange databases (arcmboxdb4) “431-4.3.1 STOREDRV, mailbox disk is full”. This database is stored on server: <SERVER> within the H drive. The H disk on this server is almost full.

Who needs to be contacted for follow-up and what is their expectation regarding contact: <USER NAME>, only email, user is not available for the rest of the night

poo poo. Does this motherboard I want to buy have that issue?



Whew. Okay. Every single "enthusiast" and higher board now mentions it has solid caps because of that. Even my LGA 1151 board still mentions it, though the blurb is a lot smaller now.

Infosec is the laziest line of work too. All you do is say no to everything, and if there's nothing to say no to you just run a Nessus scan against something and send the report without providing context, demanding immediate action.

The answer is that the SAN solution that we install needs a private metadata connection that isn't routed along with a fibre-channel connection plus the house connection.
