Yes. Documentation. Documentation aaaalll the way.

You are right. In two months you wont remember the shit you had to enable/disable to make things work.

Doing things that arent a reocurring doing should be documented. Not crazy. A basic how to set up is enough.

Common/reocurring errors/situations? Document 'em

Got a semi permanent fix for problem, so that it will most likely never come up again, but possibly in 5 years? Document it fella.

You’ll kiss your past self on the head and say thanks when you have an critical ticket in 5 years and remember nothing about the doing itself but that you wrote some documentation.

It will save your ass and possibly you might come out as the hero of the day for having a solution right away for a super nieche problem.

I’ve making a private hosted documentation for stuff, tricks and problems i learn at work.

I’ve had plenty of situatuons where i remembered that i already encountered such a situation yeeeaars ago at my previois employer and that i’ve written somtehting down in my personal documentation. Bam and just by a few mins I’ve got either a really good or at least a shittysysadmin-style solution that works.

We have such robust worker rights, that this is counting as spying on the employee. They were checking if they were actually sick or not.

This is illegal in germany. Anyone suing will have a good time in labor court :3

Ohhh shit. Those managers are in for a good time.

Workes court will pull them in little pieces. This shit is so fucking illegal in germany.

I would guess, a monitoring system like CheckMK or Icinga?

You could check what has been alarming even if the check is green again, by the time you look into it.

Nah, probably not. All routers you can buy today will route and by default have their firewall active. Make sure, auto-updates are activated on your router.

Check your server OS’ses and the Software running on them for updates on a regular basis - since they are partially made available to the public and are potential attack vectors.

Though if you only port-forwarded a couple ports that dont include the RDP port or something wildly stupid, you should be safe.

Follow some best practises as:

• try to dont run your Gameserver Software as administrator but instead with a account with as low privileges as possible.
• update your OS’ses, Softwares and Router/FW Appliance.

Don’t let yourself fool by the guys telling ya to setup a full fledged firewall system when you obviously don’t even know basic networking. You would be overwhelmed by the configurationpossibilities.

If you want to dangle your foot in some cold water - try em out and put some machines behind them to learn what behaves how. But dont make em your only protection against the public internet when you don’t know basic networking stuff.

Happy Sailin’ matey!

Just checking in to say thanks for asking that question. Always had that same question as a fellow sysadmin :D

Now since i see all those ideas: hell yes. I will reach out to the maintainers of the next project that I find that could use some support and offer them my support :D

^^

Sry for disturbing this sacred doing! Thx though :D

Another homelabber checking in: u got the name of the neat managed switch already or am I annoying too early? :3

I fear I gotta move to a different instance. I’m also a lefty but gawd damn I will never try to justify the stuff some dudes on this instance do.

I’m not sure but I think the second one looks just a tiny bit different, so it should have worked.

Could you install a basic secondary graphics card and fully forward it to the VM? That should make you capable of using its HDMI Ports - and this way you should also have no HDMI DRM Bullshit errors from apps like Netflix and Disney.

From which scene is that again? ^^

No clue why u’r getting all the hate homie.

Got a similar situation but couldn’t be bothered so far, to actually create a post.

Maybe ask the same question in the piracy community.

Having the exact issue whilst transitioning to piracy.

I mean using the apps, you get reccomendations and the new stuff gets put on the front page.

But if i am making proper use of the Seven Seas™, then I’ll have no Netflix recommendations anymore.

So where do I get recommendations on new interesting material? :shrug:

Nice!

Thx! Subbed to all of 'em!

A few more titles that you will hate, but actually describe your role. You are in no sense just a senior developer.

You are an

• Architect
• Solution Architect
• Project Manager and Team Leader
• Service Manager

Which one fits best, you have to decide. But i would put this up on my resume if i had your responsibilities.

They dont know. I work in IT and it took some time for my partner to understand why i hate such links and where she can cut the parameters of. But from now on almost all links she sends are clean and I am grinning everytime, knowing that she learned about those pesky trackers and actually decided to fight 'em.

Omg I knooowwww that feeling of being scared of a jump and especially that hill going down.

As she descends and screams in fear… well I also have done that many times while skiiing. Know that feel. But darn. That enlightment when the jump is over and you recognise that your skiis are stable again. Darnnnn. Pure happyness. Thanks for sharing this awesome clip :D

Holy friggin shit! Thanks!

Another comic series I can binge-read :D niiicee!
