I like how "no netapp experience... that's a setback" is even a thing. Like, I understand that SANs are complicated pieces of technology or whatever and that there is definitely some value in having netapp experience, but in both of the places I've worked at we ran multi-host xen or vmware clusters with ~250 VMs using netapp for storage and 99% of the day to day with them has been "expand volume, shrink different volume, possibly create new volume". Sometimes you might have to click a few dropdown menus to find the right graph so you can tell <department> that <application/service> is running at 4k more iops/sec than <previous version> and they might want to take a look at their poo poo. That's about the extent of my, admittedly pretty junior, experience with netapp stuff. They also have a pretty great powershell toolkit, so if you have even a passing familiarity with powershell you probably don't even have to open up the GUI. If homeboy is interviewing for a literal Storage Engineer position and he doesn't have NetApp experience, sure, yeah, that's a setback... but if this is a generic sysadmin position and they can't be hosed to walk you through opening up the GUI and clicking on maybe 8 different buttons I'd be really worried.

Yeah, that's what I assumed. I know multiple people who smoke before doing housework. I can't imagine they are as efficient, but it probably makes it a lot more fun. A company's site near a reservation being trashed makes sense to me. White people trashed their continent, they trash white people's land. And it saves them money on paying for trash service. I don't know Australia, it's just my understanding that they got treated at least as badly as natives in America. And it's hard to do that without literal death camps.

In Tasmania between 1804 and 1834, the Aboriginal population was reduced from an estimated 5000 people to just 200, which represented a 90% reduction in just 30 years. In Victoria it has been estimated that the Koori population declined by about 60% in just 15 years between 1835 and 1850 as more than 68 individual ‘massacres’ were perpetrated in that period. Indeed, according to representative of the North West Clans of Victoria, Mr Gary Murray, of the 38 clans that lived in Victoria B.C. (Before Cook) only 24 today have living descendants. By 1850 virtually all active resistance to the invasion had been quelled in Victoria. Census figures published in March 1857 showed that only 1,768 Aborigines were left in all of that state. So comprehensive was the ‘ethnic cleansing’ of Australia that out of an estimated 500 language groups on mainland Australia when the British arrived, barely half that number of languages were to survive.

We recently put in Cisco Web Security and one of the features is that it blocks all web ads. So we get tons of calls about how Google/Bing/Yahoo search results get blocked. The results they're clicking is the ads. drat search engines have ads for the first half dozen results.

Not as inception-y, but I've had an ISP tech TeamViewer'd into my laptop connected via 3G and then via serial console to a router that they had hosed the configuration on before they shipped it to a new site with no existing connectivity. Lots of repeated keystrokes, lots of frustration.

Thanks Ants posted:Enjoy your out-of-band management. Not only that, but if any single Mac Pro goes down (25% of each "drawer") then they have to take down 9% of each rack's capacity to even begin to troubleshoot it. They play that off as "well within our failure tolerances." It seems completely bizarre to me for a company to base a web service on an architecture that is almost proudly not scalable/virtualizable.

We have a few clients left who we haven't managed to drag away from using Macs as servers, Apple are so obviously giving up on the entire idea (poo poo QA on each release, no actual server product for 6 years etc) I wish they'd just admit it and release an OVA tied into an Apple ID or whatever, charge $100 for it and have it administered through Server.app. I don't want a Mac mini in a piss-poor rack kit just to perform a couple of tasks that haven't yet been taken over by Casper.

One processor, two NICs, one PSU on the Mac Pro. They put OSX Server on the App Store. I know these are obviously running another OS, but I use OSX Server a little bit at work and it is so horrible I had to bring it up. I run it off a Macbook Pro because like Inspector said, you can't virtualize OSX legally  e: It's the MDM I'm using, and it breaks constantly. I need to look into Casper

We have a customer with a Mac Mini server that I cannot wait for it to die. I want to move them away from it completely, but since it still "works" they don't want to suffer the cost of changing over to something else. It is currently running off a usb->ethernet adapter because the onboard ethernet port died. No one even noticed at first for several months because it fell back onto the wireless and the UniFi APs have perfect uptime. Of course then the wireless on it started acting up and disconnecting randomly. With any luck the stupid thing will explode, though hopefully a small one so nothing else on the rack goes with it.

Seeing as they have a rack of supermicro machines right next to the mac minis, I bet they just went to one of those chinese vendors to customize a couple metal plates in a regular case. The Mac Mini rack looks almost like they stuck it in something meant for routing cables/fiber or something like that.
