I’m sure it’s been mentioned here already, but defragging hard drives. I miss watching all the blocks change color and move around, it was very satisfying.

first job out of college was corp it at a now long-gone retailer. The point of sale app was something like a million lines of delphi pascal, and you *had* to start a fresh machine image install with the CD installer folder dated 1996. They bought the source code and continued to develop it in-house. Wouldn’t run on anything past XP, so right after I left they switched to a new POS app……written in Java. They also had HP-UX machines with cell processors, with a custom linux shim for the ERP code to work. And oracle RAC appliances as well, this place was a big lesson in choosing your technology wisely.

Agile Vector posted:the school mostly looked the other way if you kept it on the internal network, too for a long time I ran a simple http web server on my file server sharing out just the tv/movies folder, and anyone on the internal campus network could get to it. I grabbed a ton of shows off of Usenet consistently right after they aired, this was the era right before there were any streaming options. Judging by unique IP hits/wk, at its peak over 1/4 of the student body was hitting it. I knew the IP ranges for each building from being a student IT worker so it was amusing to see the sororities mostly get Grey’s Anatomy, the frats 24, etc. then some dipshit opened up his mouth in a media arts class my senior year. the professor took a look and complained to the IT department out of copyright violation concern. It was all on internal so gently caress him, nobody would be sending a C&D. Since the network admins knew me due to being a student worker they just told me to knock it off. put a nastygram .txt at the root for the person that couldn’t shut up, then created individual read only accounts for smb access for friends/friends of friends.

blaster when everyone came back to campus one year before XP SP2 and the firewall defaulting to on. It was very much not a heavily segmented/firewalled network at the time. it was weeks before things settled down, they made everyone bring their (mostly desktop, lmao) computer in the computer labs to confirm that SP2 was installed and run the removal tool before turning on the port in their dorm room.
