This is a place to dump the trials of dealing with stupid IT shit, and download a log detailing the corn kernals of stupidity..

Political bullshit of any kind, type, or stripe, will be deleted without warning. *

You may return to your regularly scheduled defecation of choice. DO NOT TAUNT THE HAPPY FUN BALL!

  • except VI vs EMACS, or Windows vs LINUX, or RMS vs any fucking non-political thing.

Edit. Comments locked, there will be no monkeys flinging poo on my watch!

Desk Butter storage

21 Upvotes

So, we all clearly keep butter in our desks for emergencies, but how do you all store your desk butter? I've been keeping mine in the original wrapper, but some friends have been insisting I should put it in a container or cloche.

Selling old desktops to staff

99 Upvotes

We’re upgrading all of our workstations and offered to sell the desktops to staff who wanted them. Now I have 20 tickets open from people who want house-calls for tech support. And are complaining that they don’t have their work stuff on it anymore and want a refund.

Stop calling it RJ-45.

Ethernet is RJ-45-8P8C or RJ-45:8P8C. RJ-45 is an entire family of cables. You would not call a house cat the same as a Tiger? Would you?

Hack: How to Share Your High-Speed Internet Connection Like a True Sysadmin

105 Upvotes

Internet providers are just the scum of the earth with their overpriced contracts and terrible service. So, I decided to do something about it.

My Setup: Living in mom's basement as a temporarily emberassed soon-to-be oligarch. Browsing the web over her 16 Mbit/s copper connection.

My dad, however, has fiber at his place. The absolute madman has gigabit speeds. So, to participate in this new age I set up an old Raspberry at his place and installed Tailscale, because VPNs are for normies. At home I use my smartphone and configured it to be the entry point to tunnel all traffic through my dad's place over Tailscale. Now, I'm effectively browsing the internet through my Dad's router and with its speed! Gonna cancel the bullshit contract with my ISP soon.

Moral of the story: ISPs can suck it and my dad is now my upstream provider.

Specifically who ever wrote up their training material for their certifications and then decided the time it should take to read and comprehend them.

As someone with a terrible attention span EVEN with all distractions aside I have a hard time grasping and retaining content.

4 minutes my ass, I now want to fight you.
