Reminds me of a script a colleague has where it would sometimes accidentally wipe the entire production folder on a server. I pointed out the risk in his script and explained how to correct it like 2 years ago, give or take. He said he did, but then last week it happened again because apparently he had several scripts like that and only corrected one.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t force it to drink.
What’s BOFH? Bitch Ole Fucking Hippie?
Edit: Ah, bastard operator from hell.
Yep, exactly the same. Has saved my ass on an occasion or two when changing the uplink config.
I was in the market for something low budget with two nics for a local firewall. Since this gave me a nice discount on top, I ordered a zimaboard now as it’s pretty much exactly what I need. Thanks for the tip
What’s your source on the spacex team distracting him? I can’t find anything supporting that. I do find some interviews from anonymous employees saying it’s calmer now that he’s so focused on twitter.

Ah, that hits close to home. I have spent a lot of time and energy to get my direct bosses onboard with following best practices and doing things right from the start. To their credit, they got onboard with it and are pushing that message themselves now. Of course, the board doesn’t care about that and just jams random projects with strict deadlines without any thoughts given to the IT aspects of it up our asses, but our head of IT has apparently grown a spine and started pushing back, with some moderate success.
The MO of my company has for years been: do a POC and then as soon as it works, push that POC in production. I’m still cleaning up the mess of idiotic shit like that from 15 years ago.
But it is steadily improving. A couple of months ago the everything feed would hardly change in 24 hours. Now when you refresh after 4 hours you already see a lot of new content. It’s not a sprint, this is a marathon and lemmy has a highly engaged user base.
The mod tools are improving, the content is improving, the user base is active and engaged, the larger instances have become stable and there are a ton of third party apps available now. Things are looking up for lemmy, and the users will come whenever a large site like reddit screws up again.
I cancelled my storage subscription with google in the past year, partially to degoogle my life, but also because in all those years they kept the price the same for the same amount of storage. It’s not like it was that much, 20€ for 100GB/year, but I have MS O365 family plan which gives me 1TB per account, so no real point in staying.
At one point I will have to demicrosoft I suppose, but I:m not in a rush. At least MS doesn’t convert my pictures to shitty quality.
I just use an HP Microserver gen 8 with upgraded cpu and ram. But yea, just a relatively cheap computer is all 98% of the people really need, as long as you can configure enough disks. NAS’es are way overpriced with shitty hardware.
Sounds like death metal to me, but I’m no expert. Recording sounds pretty decent.
Ah, that’s a shame in a way because I liked the idea of this guy walking around irl. Still a great image though.
You have to hand it to the French though, that stuff was pretty dope.
My setup isn’t featured, but it’s basically neutral good with the laptop below it in the middle.
Microsoft needs to get its shit together because reboots were a huge point of contention when I was setting up automated patching at my company.
Congratulations, you are the IT guy now.
This is way too accurate. With a buddy I even have what our wifes call playdates, where we are messing around with proxmox, containers and linux distros. We both have some old poweredge servers, laptops, raspberry pies and old phones to mess around with. Nothing useful has come out of that so far, although we’re preparing a lemmy and mastodon instance, so we’re getting there.
But notably no red flags, so I declare this legit!
I’m upvoting this because it’s hilarious, but on a serious note, installing windows is so easy my granny could do it.
The only thing, and I assume that’s where you struggled, is sometimes the formatting of the hd doesn’t want to work. In that case, a quick google will help you out, but also just format it quickly with diskpart and continue the installation.
I use an HP microserver gen 8, which I bought second hand (300$) and upgraded with a better CPU (20$ from ebay) and extra ram (80$) and 4 2TB SSD’s (100$ per). I installed Windows server on it because I just wanted it to work in a way I’m familiar with, but a colleague of mine installed Synology OS on it. You can use the cd drive bay for the OS disk (with some tweaking). Since you already have the disks, this would fit your budget.
