I can't blame the customer here. Ya, that's the USB in the Ethernet port.

When I run and crimp cables I always get super horny. How do I stop?

Bahahaha! 😂😂 Worked for the HQ of a Fortune 500 company. Department went to lunch that Friday and began talking about what prep they had done (none). One guy had bought a few cases of water with his sister.

I lived 1:40 from work and told everyone if the world blew up and they could get to my house we’d eat until it ran out. I mentioned having 450lbs of potatoes under the floor. I drew a map to our house before leaving that afternoon, and made copies for the most gracious, appreciative people ever.

The boss said, “If the world doesn’t end, I want you all back here in the morning.” (only Sat we worked in 3.5 years). From Jan 1, 2000 on they occasionally laughed me to scorn, particularly over the potatoes. “You gonna start distilling vodka?” 😂 When I had enough I’d remind them how groveling and gracious their scared little eyes were on 12/31/1999. 😅

One guy got a screen shot of a navy website which read 1/1/19100 for the date. It was fixed in a few hours. We had been prepping code and testing for months, so we didn’t really expect a disaster on our stuff.

I grew up in the country. I didn’t know anyone without a few 100lbs of potatoes and 2-3 months worth of canned goods. 😂 The poorest people I knew had lived through the Depression. They had a stand of lard and flour cabinet (flour and corn meal) if they had nothing else.

Good times. 👍😎

I don't have any internet and the lights just glow solid. Is that a indicator of an error?

To whom it may concern,

I discovered your Summer Camp Slasher position on StabbedIn, and I would like to know more about this position. I am a relentless killer who is up for a new challenge in murdering teens at camp. I think that I would be a good fit for this position because I have the ability to teleport, survive being shot/stabbed/set on fire, and am a dedicated problem solver.

I have 40 years of experience in menacing camp counsellors and have multiple endorsements from various local police departments. I am a dedicated killer who will keep coming back until the job is done or I am relieved of the position.

I believe this position will be a good fit for me, and I believe I will bring a lot of dread to the camp. Thank you for your consideration for this position, I look forward to meeting to discuss this opportunity and demonstrate my skills. I can be reached at the listed phone number or via email at [email protected].

Regards,

Jason Vorhees

Maybe swap out some production hardware or change some DNS settings.

Also it is a great time for updates

Part of my email which I sent to the department (nearly 200 people, including the VP) said "...and then we can overcome our obstacles", but for some reason I wrote it "and then we can overcome our testicles". This just happened. I have no idea what to do now. Please help!

Like all the best technology departments, I'm a one man army rockstar. That's a problem when I'm a bottle of everclear deep into my holiday plans, and I don't think I can get away with hiding another replacement cellphone in the budget if I throw mine in the lake again.

So how do you guys keep everything running while you're out?

What is wrong with the workers of today?!?!? They all seem to fear death and aren't willing to die to protect the company. They just run away instead of fighting to protect company assets.

We had a security event and I ordered all the IT staff to take up arms and to protect the data center. Almost all of them refused. What the heck guys! I need you to fight to protect. It is just a little fire fight after all.

I want to spread my WiFi all over the building. How do I do that?

Doing a PhD in humanities and enjoy it. I’ve recently really started to enjoy Linux, self hosting, and messing around with various lab stuff.

Update: fixed

Now we process 0 transactions/second.

The CEO’s nephew has been promoted to CTO because he installed FoxIT on a laptop. Now they’re wanting to embrace AI/ML and require all software to use it.

We’ve trained a model on IPv6 addresses. How do I push out self-signed certs for all workstations to accept the model as a driver to perform TCP/IP functions?

Can’t use IPv4 because “CAT5 isn’t backwards-compatible.”

The title gave me a laugh

My internet connection is getting upgraded to 10 Gbit next week. I’m going to start out with the rental router from the ISP, but my goal is to replace it with a home-built router since I host a bunch of stuff and want to separate my out home Wi-Fi, etc onto VLANs. I’m currently using the good old Ubiquiti USG4. I don’t need anything fancy like high-speed VPN tunnels (just enough to run SSH though), just routing IPv6 and IPv4 tunneling (MAP-E with a static IP) as the new connection is IPv6 native.

After doing a bit of research the Lenovo ThinkCenter M720q has caught my eye. There are tons of them available locally and people online seem to have good luck using them for router duties.

The one thing I have not figured out is what CPU option I should go for? There’s the Celeron G4900T (2 core), Core i3 8100T (4 core), and Core i5 (6 core). The former two are pretty close in price but the latter costs twice as much as anything else.

Doing research I get really conflicting results, with half of people saying that just routing IP even 10 Gbit is a piece of cake for any decently modern CPU and others saying they experienced bottlenecks.

I’ve also seen comments mentioning that the BSD-based routing platforms like pfSense are worse for performance than Linux-based ones like OpenWRT due to the lack of multi-threading in the former, I don’t know if this is true.

Does anyone here have any experience routing 10 Gbit on commodity hardware and can share their experiences?

I'm trying to build software from source. To do that I need g++. However, I can't get past this step (I keep hitting n)

Help, I messed up the Pacman db and now a meeting with HR is inevitable

I need your guys help. I am looking to remove nat from out environment since it is November after all.

Can you make me a three step plan?

I see a lot of ppl talking about SSL certificates but I can't find any training material or test dates? thx

I promise you this is a legitimate question. I have been trying to find an easy path to route networking from my basement where the network gear is to the second floor of my house. Problem is I cannot find a clear route - except for one of the drains for the second floor toilets. It’s basically a straight stack directly upstairs.

How realistic is it to route the cable up through the plumping and then out of the toilet upstairs? Obviously I would not have the cable exit the bowl that would not make much sense but I think I could catch it the other end, and then route it upstairs. I would just need to drill an entry hole for the cable in the drain downstairs and then just push it up.

I could probably convince my wife we don’t need the spare bathroom upstairs so it’s not like the toilet will be used much or at least restrict it to non solids use to not cause issues.

How realistic is this? I don’t think a toilet flush would cause too much pressure on the entry hole downstairs, I’d seal it too with silicone or something. I’m really convinced this is doable.
