  • Did not take long for Mythos to get hacked!!! Move over, Nostradamus. I predicted the Mythos breach last week, so I’m officially accepting applications for my new role as a Cyber-Soothsayer. It turns out you don’t need Tarot cards to see a 'secure by design' failure coming—you just need to look at the foundational gaps in…
  • You make me laugh!
  • SolarWinds DPA and now SQL Sentry have been my absolute secret weapons for years! I’m not a DBA—I’m a Senior Network Admin in a 911-critical environment— a big thank you to the architecture and the teams behind these amazing products. In my world, 'wait time' isn't just a metric; it's a life-safety issue. Seeing our wait…
  • Wrote this one in 5th Grade: Butterflies fly high Butterflies fly low Butterflies fly, and they glow Loved your Haiku Now lest get THWACKING!!!
  • You’ve certainly sparked my interest! One of the most rewarding aspects of my role is the collaboration with our DBA—an incredible individual who truly makes a difference every day. When I first started managing this environment nearly 15 years ago, we were battling over 3 hours of cumulative SQL wait time per day. We…
  • It magic
  • Yeah, I think if we can post a few examples, they might be able to find the little "fubar" - it is not on every post.
  • Yeah, its weird, some you can post some you can't … why can someone else post and we can't. Let me find an example to report. I was just there the other day … a THWACK member posted, I went to add a comment and was unable to do so …. I need to get the details!!!! I will come back and post!
  • When are we going to take the rose-colored glasses away from everyone? After Anthropic's Mythos code gets reverse engineered? Why have no data centers been bombed? The bad guys need them and they are not stupid.
  • @yellowtj you are absolutely right about the cool technologies. I do LOVE my job… I think the lack of respect is the biggest disappointment. The janitor struck a major chord with me today. People try to push me down because they are not able to get along with everyone like I do. Did I say a lot with those words… The…
  • I will accept that! It usually is me! I am still not going to make this question as right! Most interaction I have had in a long time!
  • Awesome!!!!! How cool, 2FA and all! I am really digging that SW pullover. I have much of the store!!! Have given out to my co-workers. It is so cool, my peeps here take great pride with the Solarwind swag, and they never forget to remind me from time to time! Thanks for helping me make a difference with my TEAM! I get a…
  • @John.Summers and the entire SolarWinds team—thank you for the relentless work you’ve been putting into the new community architecture! In our world, we know that great architecture takes time and precision. The way SolarWinds works hand-in-hand with this community is what makes the product so vital to our daily…
  • Points are accumulating … wow… am I just behind the curve… have we been getting points all along??
  • What is this …. no way … all in one day? I love this thread! Never going to mark any of your answers right! Most stimulation I have had in months! I am going to change my handle to QueenComment - kind of matches what I am going thru right now!! In work and in THWACK. Thanks ya'll for thwacking off with me!
  • Love you man! I am dead right now…. just haunting this place with choice words about reality… I feel the boot close to my posterior. I so imbedded, they don't know what to do…. I have absolutely nothing to lose at this point! Half-heartedly looking for a new job, I love my job, but folks understood that it is not like what…
  • I only got to see them 6 times! Saw the last concert in St Louis, the one before he hit Chicago and passed. It was a little sad, God Bless Phil, he continued to carry Jerry til the end! Lyrics were on a prompter, but his fingers knew the tunes!
  • I am not marking anyone's comment as right! Thanks, you guys! Made my day, week, year! Love you all! Keep your comments frustrations and issues coming on this thread! Will start breaking out the issues one at a time and get our voices heard! This has been a long, strange trip though!
  • My Therapy at night… building things from our decommissioned hardware!
  • Catching up with you all! They have not posted when the World Tour will hit Austin! @ChrystalT any ideas when they will be swinging by your hood? I am finally getting a vacation in June, rafting the Main Salmon River, the "River of No Return". I will be fine if I don't return! I have been too stressed at work, the tipping…
  • I miss you most!!! @ChrystalT I still read all the posts… you got me with the Broadcom replacement options hook … been there .. ditched that .. SolarWinds is the best! ALWAYS!
  • That was great! Its 4/6 and you still got me!!! LMAO! Thanks for making me smile today! Its been a bad couple of months…. ready to call it and find a new career! I am ready for #3 Food Service ran me into the ground… IT has taken its toll now… the more you know, the more they take advantage of experience and work ethic! If…
  • As a 15-year SolarWinds veteran managing a 911 District infrastructure, my "coffee-in-hand" moments usually involve high-stakes pressure where every second literally counts. In Public Safety, we don’t have the luxury of "I'll believe it when I see it"—we need to be two steps ahead of the failure. I recently participated in…
  • First time on THWACK since the holidays! So busy here @ EP911, I was most certain that I had been deleted from the user group! Miss your daily presence Kevin! Congratulations! Glad that you are still checking in! Really hope that the new job is treating you with dignity and respect! Folks tend to run good people into the…
  • Have not started the mission but read all the comments! Love the positive attitude! This is not the first time that the cheese has been moved, and it has been a little more challenging, but it is how we respond to the challenge that inspires me! I wanted to check in and share some positive energy regarding the recent site…
  • Not that we have a store.. but my points total is the same as when I first logged back into Thwack… seems like we need to be patient on many fronts this time! Been awhile since I THWACKEDoff! Been doing infrastructure upgrades and today is, well .. the start of pre-holiday so you really don't want me pulling anything the…
  • Made me smile today, needed your comment! Thanks @jeremymayfield
  • 1 question… when I first signed in I was notified that I had been promoted to level 5. What does that mean?
  • Note: I was able to start week 1 and week 2 mission again after I had already answered those questions. Could be due to the fact that you are leaving it open to get folks acclimated. Just letting you know. Love all the hard work! Thanks SW TEAM! Thanks @John.Summers for keeping the cats wrangled; we are all doing the best…
