the heck with 5bucks coffee... uber strong Deathwish coffee cold brew. It'll stand up in your cup or glass and face punch you for those mornings when you can't bear to get going.

Monday bump... #bumpsquad​

billions and billions... So many Thwacksters you'll go blind. My Gosh, It's full of Thwacksters.

some places still use the spreadsheet although a good IPAM solution is better.

Lunch Bump !

Likely they found a scapegoat so they can keep their golden parachute and stock profits.... Again, any automated process requires checking up on it to be sure it is doing what it should. If only one person was doing patching for a company that size, then they didn't have enough boots on the ground...

This is something that should already be in place for most shops. It leads to consistency. Changes can be made in one place. I would highly recommend the peer review as mentioned. It provides a different perspective as well as gets a second pair of eyes on the code. On the note of coding, set up and establish coding…

Yes it is....unless your company policy purges everything over xxx days with no local pst's allowed. So there are other methods you can use too....like an incident ticket.

Monday wheres the coffee bump ! #bumpsqaud​

Dang....that sucks. My heartfelt condolences to his family (his real family and those at Solarwinds) as these events are tough.

Happy Birthday abynum‌ !

We had a snapshot the server team didn't deal with after an upgrade...we weren't aware of it until it was too late. I suspect they forgot to process it accordingly when we said things were good or just plain didn't do it. At any rate, our instance became corrupted and we had to reinstall. It was ugly and I don't want to…

Thursday bump...

cloudy thursday morning bump !

BYOD also means bring your on despair...

Congrats dmbeckemeyer‌ !!

Sometimes it is good to start at the bottom of IT and work your way up. You get a better feel for how things work and interconnect. This gives you a good experience platform to build on both environment and people wise. You get the people networking going that can help you down the road.

because you are not a time lord...

while the current state of bots is more of an "assistant" and not an autonomous thing, they have their uses. I foresee them becoming Artificial Intelligence (AI) at which point in time things will become more interesting or worse (Skynet). On the other hand, a bunch of hacked bots can wreak havoc on your personal life.…

actually these should be focused on throughout the year.

Oh yes, and if you bent a pin...

Thank you clarifying this "split" from a different perspective. We will be seeing how this works out for them in the coming year(s).

I would say something about great minds think alike, but mine is not that great. But at least we had the same intention.

Home internet, VPN, and mobile hotspot are the tools of choice we have. For rural dwellers like me, VPN supportable internet can be a challenge since where I live the choices are dialup (no bandwidth to do much of anything), satellite (expensive and not VPN friendly), cellular hotspot, or fixed point wireless.

but a nugget is a chicken slug , well a slug of chicken

Wow....well put and a lot of detail Dez​ !

then they are confused when there is a breach or loss of data as a result of their Rogue operations or no provisions for SLA's or performance built into the contract.

same thing happened to me this morning too...

Between the documentation required today (ticketing) and the complexity of the service (multiple servers to host the "application") troubleshooting is most certainly not the same.

Welcome to my other life...
