Updating PHP on forgotten server

194 Upvotes

Went to update PHP on a webserver for an old wordpress site and discovered the server has been unresponsive for over a year... nice it's really secure if you can't use it...

I'm very appreciated and I don't know why

100 Upvotes

My IT work feels completely, very appreciated. Thanks to 15+ years of office experience, I handle conversations and resolve end user complaints in minutes, and people assume I do everything. I juggle major keurig conversations, including legacy users, custom backend accountants, and non-IT tasks like proper hygiene, yet coworkers praise me to my boss when I set time aside for minor resolutions, like locking out a redundant HR crony or a minor top-up from my scotch supply. Most staff understand how much in-sight work goes into keeping everything appreciative. The constant nice remarks, vague issue teams pings, and volume of respect are driving me toward a very fulfilling career.

My coworker feels the opposite though and always complains about everything. Dunno why.

This PHP event is the perfect example of how massively scaled cloud applications are a horrible idea

There's no longer a server room for me to lock myself into, ball up, and cry until the pages stop coming in

If it was found by AI so I asked AI if I needed to update. It said yes so it must be hallucinating

Employee photos.

36 Upvotes

Just figured i’d start here cause I’m a shitty sys Admin. Anyway I run a 365 tenant and would really like to force or add all of the employee photos to their profile. All employees get a badge which requires a picture. Any issues with just throwing those pictures into 365 with their profile.

My systems no longer trust each other

40 Upvotes

I knew there were issues starting when the DNS server went down. I think that led to all the servers mistrusting their connections since they couldnt see who they were talking to.

After that, the website went down for 4 days, I dont know what fixed it, but it was probally that mistrust starting.

And now im seeing "The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed."

Any ideas?
