The servers at my old job were on prem. Then again, it was health care stuff so it makes a lot more sense to remove a variable when it came to HIPAA stuff. When I first started they were having cooling issues, so they went up to the cooling units and found the vents clogged with plant debris (gently caress that place otherwise)

Renegret posted:We have a new piece of equipment that, whenever it reboots, it sends a high temperature alert for 65535 degrees C. The fact that they set the starting max temp to -1 instead of you know, ZERO, makes me cringe. Actually wait, that's probably what happened: What's happening is this: The max temp is stored in a 16 bit register. 0xFFFF is -1 in signed integer math (I've abused this before, it's fun). Ok, that's not as bad upon further reflection. It's unlikely that the highest recorded temp will be in the negatives, and setting it as an impossibly low value is par for course with max recorded value registers. Whoever wrote the "check the temp register" IS ASSUMING IT'S UNSIGNED INSTEAD OF SIGNED. WHY iospace fucked around with this message at 16:32 on Jul 22, 2019 |

So, this comes from my dad: Dad: *gets email from <COMPANY> asking him to log in somewhere, junks it and reports it, advises others to do the same, as it reads like a phishing email* A few hours later IT: hey all, we just signed up for a new VIOP service, it's <COMPANY>. You should have gotten an email asking you to log in to it to set things up! Dad: send that email first, next time...

Arquinsiel posted:I've noticed a lot of people know either Ctrl + C or Ctrl + X but not both. I very rarely use Ctrl + X myself unless I have a huge list and need to track which ones I have left to action but also don't need the list to remain intact. Ctrl-X is useful in a chat situation where you start typing something, the other person says something, and you wanna respond right away to the new message. Also when you wanna shift your code around. Still waiting on that prod access.

Alighieri posted:A flood of tickets came in. The vendor for a service we use made some changes to their network which has caused the entire service to stop responding to requests. Happy day after thanksgiving to me as I setup a mass email to clients using said service telling them there is no ETA on when it will be back up and how to disable it in our software suite for a temporary workaround. It's a DNS issue

I had to reformat my pi hole today. Guess what went wrong! DNS issues due to new internet, and given that's all I used it for, annoying but nothing of value lost.
