Methylethylaldehyde posted:Man, the cyberpunk dystopia is here, only instead of hot half-cyborg Asian chicks and seedy Japanese diners, it's some underpaid nerd in an office trying to cope with 100,000 infected webcams sending billions of dickpicks per second and crashing the servers because we as a race can't have nice things. Beautifully put.

How large are the pdfs we talking about? How feasible is it to change your software's archive to accept larger pdfs?

Farking Bastage posted:Seriously. The other groups listened to us after that and disabled smb1 across the board, and I believe the 911 people are going to be executed by firing squad(hopefully). Biggest near miss I ever saw. This literally just made me turn off SMB1 in my home servers. Thank you, thread.

I used to live next to City Airport in London. I had Hyperoptic Internet, 1gbps both up and downstream. I now live out in the sticks in Scotland. 80mbps down, 20 up. Ugh. I went from having forgotten that things actually take time to download and not caring about ever saturating the connection to... well things taking up to half an hour to download and settling bandwidth limits on servers... Sigh.

I had electricians come in and do 4 drops of CAT6 in all of the following while my wife was away for a week: Dining Room Living Room Bedroom Wife's Study All of which terminate in My Study in a patch panel. They did such a good and clean job that you can't tell where the holes were drilled, and the conduit blends into the skirting boards. My wife did not even notice until I pointed the CAT6 plate out to her in her study. £1300 all in, 3 sparkys for 3 days p much, including all material and labour. Best money ever spent. Would have taken me weeks and it would like rear end and my wife would never let me hear the end of what a shoddy job I did. Also gently caress crimping/punching down.

We had a developer in our team who had been with the department for 32 years. He couldn’t be arsed to do anything for the last five years and finally retired instead of waiting further for a redundancy (we were not going to give him one at £100k).

Arquinsiel posted:My dad is enjoying an ongoing fight with his ISP where they keep disconnecting him for non-payment because their bank sometimes brainfarts and doesn't tell them it has received money to the account. There's a single reconnection fee due from the first time this happened on the account which he refuses to pay because it's their bank's fault they weren't notified of the payment. Every six months or so, they disconnect him again. Then see his account is fine, and has been always except for this stupid fee that everyone refuses to do anything about. Then reconnect him. Then add another fee to the account. Which he refuses to pay again... He should have switched the second time this happened. This is just poo poo.

Agrikk posted:Yesterday we received a critical support case because a customer lost a bunch of CRITICAL DATA from a database that was required for a product launch tonight. Because a developer, working directly in a production database, accidentally set a bunch of data to expire. Oh yeah: And no backups because $customer continues to be pants on head retarded. Why are you bending backwards for these idiots? They don't pay for backups, let them eat poo poo.

Zorak of Michigan posted:One of my career life goals is to be in a situation where I can respond to one of those tickets with "wow, it really sounds like you hosed up. All our processes operated within our SLAs and so there is nothing we can do for you. Would you like to meet with someone to discuss best practices and how you could stop your future dumb decisions from turning into outages?" I have achieved this career goal to a certain extent. Yesterday, I sent this out after getting a stupid request: "We are not in the habit of changing our job/process to cater to infrastructure shortfalls. We will not be moving from full file reconciliation on a daily basis to delta maintenance, as maintaining the delta is a lot more risky and a business decision was taken last year to use the daily full file. If the infrastructure, I.e. general storage requirements for storing a required minimum 60 days of full file history, is not being provisioned as necessary, this is not an issue we are going to participate in resolving. Grow the storage space." I.e. I am not making GBS threads up my process and making it more likely to gently caress up data because your stupid department can't buy enough SAN in advance.

A mate asks me: "Anyone have any experience with online booking systems (specifically for leisure facilities where you want to limit the amount of time that people can book and that sort of thing)? There seem to be around a gazillion systems around but it's hard to tell if they do the job without actually trying them out. Most promising one I've found so far is skedda." Any thoughts/recommendations?

Thanks Ants posted:Bingo. HE is awful, and their CGNAT pool ranges are poor quality in terms of where the old geolocation databases list them at. A few posts back, but, can you please dumb this down for me? I am in Scotland, I have Vodafone Gigafast (gigabit symmetric) and on different days, Google Maps thinks I am in different places in the UK. Sometimes London, sometimes Manchester, sometimes where I actually am in Scotland. Is this to do with "CGNAT" and old geolocation databases? I am a tech nerd, but not very savvy at networking.

Right, ok. My prior BT VDSL connection always showed me at my correct area in Scotland. This one from Vodafone bounces around every few days.

Never checked, but I imagine it rotates. Right, it's because Vodafone are thick and don't rotate localised addressed, and instead rotate nationwide ones...

tactlessbastard posted:Fire her for generating unnecessary expense through carelessness, hire one of the homeless guys. Reminds me of that one underpaid goon who had an older car in less-than-perfect condition, and one of his management saw it in the company parking lot one day and told him to get something newer because it was making the place look bad, with zero irony or appreciation for how little the goon was paid.

I get off help desk, I get to travel the country onboarding new clients, and I get to spend the rest of my time writing up documentation. Decent pay raise and I get to rack up some FF miles to cash in to visit my kids. I’m pretty happy NICE!
