I tend to agree, if it works, who gives a gently caress. But it's completely unnecessary because you can give grep the file name directly.

Just hit another application that we’re gonna have to manage the JRE keystone for because of ldap secure channel signing. I just wanna use a simple lds partition for a very basic purpose, is that too much too ask? I’m calling it quits for today.

They all come up with excuses of why they are asking but in reality... none of the excuses hold up. I thought I was interviewing for a helpdesk position at Compaq. The interviewer thought I was there for a Java developer position. The recruiter at Robert Half took the bit where I mentioned I was learning C and turned it into many years experience with C and learning Java. The copy of my resume and the one he had differed in a lot of other ways as well.

ooh i dig this site, lots of fun learning here. anyways knew it was going to be a stupid question when i asked it but always better to ask stupid questions here than elsewhere. in what I promise is a genuine backpedal i can't remember the last time i have done a literal cat file | grep string (though I'm sure it's happened) and i pinky swear i use grep to search for strings in files and directories all the time. totally a brain fart, i went "why is | grep string bad"* and totally wiffed. Appreciate the reminders! *bc if you can you should use filtering on the object of your query rather than outputing and processing information you don't need, but shh The Iron Rose fucked around with this message at 00:13 on Feb 19, 2021 |

So what you’re saying is that your company could have given everybody those days off in the past but chose not to do so? There, now you can be pissed off about it!

I realllly want to keep people out of the habit of directly contacting their favorite IT person when the rest of my team is perfectly capable of addressing most day-to-day issues. I'm reminded of my old fricken manager walking back into the IT office, pissed off because he'd been spending 2 hours with a user in accounting trying to get to some bank website. He had the user with them, and they get on the collaboration table computer, and a couple people from the department gather around to watch. They're clearing caches and cookies and rebooting.... he starts cursing out Firefox, Windows, and a bunch of other poo poo. "Bob? You got any ideas on this?" "Yea, the pop-up blocker is on." "How the gently caress..." Any of our lowest-level helpdesk guys would have figured that out in 30 seconds, here he is wasting half his loving morning on it instead of just letting the right people take care of it.

How to set your users up for failure: 1. Give them multiple user names BMorales, BobMoral, bob.morales They'll have so much fun remembering which username is for which! And when they forget, you can make them feel stupid!

Don’t even bother with sfc In most cases if you have a non-hardware issue that you can’t fix in less than 30 minutes you should just re-image the machine

I'm pissing me off. Asked a large-ish security question in a meet n greet with the new CEO, and I didn't realize Shift-Enter submitted the question in zoom and I couldn't edit!! I messed up an "are" vs "is" and there was an extra period and ahhhhhhh on the plus side i submitted a moderately more grammatically correct question before the meeting, which clearly spooked him since he spent a good 15/45 minutes of his meeting with engineering talking about security and compliance. Happy to see the emphasis if nothing else.

The real answer is they tie a string around the mentos and put the lid on with it up top then cut the string so that the person who opens it gets the jizz fountain.

Working on a Saturday! Okay, here's the background. Last week we had a switch fail, we had a spare so my boss replaced it that night. I was using one of my forced days off, so he did it by himself. Messed a couple things up. Told him he could have sent me a text and I would have came in to help, or just did it, but anyway. HP doesn't make this switch anymore (5120, the old Comware ones), so they send us a 5130. And since you can't mix them in a stack...they send us a second switch, to replace the whole stack. But we have to send the old defective ones back in 5 days or something ridiculous. Yesterday I get it all configured, and this morning we get some time to take it down and swap the stack out. This should take...90 minutes assuming something gets hosed up and we have to tweak some stuff.  You can see the first 'new' switch, in the middle. So I start pulling cables, one at a time, and putting them in the new switch. Then remove the old, insert another new one, move the cables over...I basically copied over the config from the old switch. This takes...maybe 20 minutes. Now, I start checking to make sure everything comes back up, and my dumbass boss starts 'cleaning cables up'. Moving stuff around, wants to stick some cable management 1U thing in, but the real problem is that we have ports on the left side of the switch going to the right side of the patch panel, and patch panels above the switches going to the lower of the two switches... Me: DON'T MOVE ANY CABLES DON'T CHANGE MORE THAN ONE THING AT A TIME. YOU CAN CLEAN poo poo UP AFTER WE GET EVERYTHING UP. Anyway, a bunch of poo poo, mostly PoE stuff, doesn't come back up. I find a PoE firmware update for the switches, install it, power cycle everthing, check a bunch of poo poo...double-check the switch config....everything looks fine. But a bunch of poo poo still doesn't work. Meanwhile he's checking servers and poo poo trying to figure out why some systems aren't working. Me: WE DIDN'T CHANGE ANYTHING DON'T START loving WITH poo poo I get the ladder out and disconnect a camera, just because I've seen some of our cameras not power cycle unless you pull the plug on them, for some reason doing a shutdown on the PoE port doesn't always do it. While on the ladder, I start thinking.... Old:  New:  You see the problem? gently caress you HP. gently caress you in your pussy. I then swap everything from the top port row with the bottom row. Most poo poo comes up. But numb nuts moved around enough poo poo that we have to re-configure about 8 ports....ugh. Turned a 1 hour job into a 3 hour job. Anyway, we did clean stuff up a little bit. Took those little one foot green cables out, going to beat the door security guys with them next time they are here. Bundled up the first 12 ports on the top switch, and then I'll move some other ports around one by one to clean stuff up. Ugh.

Juniper switches start at port 0, Cisco SMB ones go from 1-24 along the top row and 25-48 on the second row.

It's not even a good expletive. Like, that's.. that's what it's there for? Like, "gently caress you in your ear" at least makes sense as it would be a terrible theoretical experience for the receiving party.
