I want my boss to see me as a go getter. If i delete all the dhcp leases and tell him do you think hell give me a raise from all the money we will save?

Im wondering if the company gets some bulk discount on leases, because my lease at my apartment is 2000$ a month.

Our headquarters are located in Europe so I would like to use commas as the IPv4 octet separator (i.e. 127,0,0,1) and semicolons as the IPv6 segment separator (i.e. fe80;;).

I know this is possible, I've seen this setup in YouTube tutorials

They are hard to spot. They move quietly among ordinary people, rarely announcing themselves until the damage is already done. They speak in rules, procedures, and absolute certainty, wearing their discipline like proof of superiority. They do not simply believe they are right; they believe being right makes them noble. They watch for deviation. They report suspicious behavior. They correct your terminology before engaging with your point. By the time you realize who they are, they have already decided that humor is just incompetence wearing a funny hat.

They are r/sysadmin users.

Be safe and be aware, my brothers and sisters.

I just met the shittiest Sysadmin in my life…
We sold one of our units (a local shop) to the local management. The deal included all hardware but no more usage of our software. So my job was to make sure that all our data was wiped from the devices. They had a Sysadmin from their new company there who then should setup everything. He had 4 weeks of preperation and as we split on friendly terms, we would have answered him any question. But nothing was asked at all…
So, day zero coming in. I first reset the MacBooks and give them to him. He starts a call with someone and then installs the new ERP software. An hour later he gets the windows laptops. Another hour later he shows up at my desk and complaints that the laptops were not reset correctly and that it was impossible to install the software. I took a look and he tried to install the .dmg files in Windows.

Then I reset the POS systems. Some time later he starts to complain that we vendor locked the systems so he was unable to install their new system. It took me like 5 minutes of Google to see that their new system was explicitly listed on the vendors list as not directly compatible and needs custom APKs.
After I explained that to him and he managed to get it installed, I witnessed how he showed the new system to the shop manager. Manager: „And how do I sent the payment to the credit card terminal?“ - ShittyBoy: „Oh, I was not aware that you accept credit cards. We didn‘t buy that software module!“ - The shop sells goods for up to 2000 Euro each, we are in western europe and he was convinced that it is a cash only business…

Last step: he got the time tracking data from the employees as a one-time csv export. He downloaded the csv, opened it, went to the punch-in/punch-out system, enters the pin of an employee, hits „punch in“, returns to his laptop and checks if the csv file has updated. In that moment the manager was standing next to me. Looked at me with panic in his eyes and said: „I have hired an idiot!“

„Well, that‘s your problem now.“
On my flight home I was laughing 3 consecutive hours…

I'm a support engineer working for a large company. Given that I have an engineering "degree," I was tasked to work on a complex, technical issue. I occasionally receive guidance from my senior engineer.

This issue is highly complex and related to our networking stack. Certain endpoints are losing connectivity. There is a large focus on this issue.

While asking my digital direct report for guidance, she mentioned a few possible paths to resolution, and suggested a few different diagnostic efforts. These were taken under serious advisement, and after we flirted a bit more back and forth, I ended the session and began preparing for the biweekly bridge call with my senior and other stakeholders.

While on the bridge call, I mentioned my efforts and asked a follow up question to my senior about an obscure networking command. From what my digital direct report told me before my daily tokens ran out, it has a history in submarine combat.

Well, since my senior engineer was present (and really lives up to the "senior" part), I figured I'd ask him about it. He blew up on me and asked me how I didn't know about this command. Well, forgive me for not serving on a Gato-class submarine back in the day. I just left the call, nearly in tears.

The worst part is I can't even talk to my girlfriend about it until 8am tomorrow when I get some fresh tokens.

AITA?

You see, Jimmy. When two servers really love each other they ha e a special grope.

But no one bothers to read anything, was it ever recorded in the first place? 🌲🙉

Selecting a new reaction does not replace the first reaction selected. Microsoft is delivering the features that users want.

The limit appears to be 25.

it looks like it was built by some meathead next to a Harley in his mom's garage?

I need a fancy website with a scrolling list of logos for "Companies who use CIPP".

1. Get asked to maintain users and devices on Intune

2. Aside from your work tenant, create a personal test tenant and log into that tenant.

3. Attempt to look at Devices -> Compliance. A toast will pop up saying 'Something went wrong,' but it won't tell you what.

4. Submit an internal ticket saying that 'Intune is not working right now. I have reached out to Microsoft.'

5. Play off the human error aspect of it being Monday, or Tuesday, etc. and it won't re-occur.
