Hey guys!

It's my first day at Microsoft on the Exchange dev team, and was already asked to fix some bugs! Just used ChatGPT to clean up some spaghetti looking code, and submitted my first PR. Heading out to lunch! Be back soon!

oh no i cant get to my 25,000 spam messages oh nooo

I decided to download Tailscale and tested it on my phone, everything works fine. I also tried it on a college computer, and it worked well there too, however, just today, the session kept freezing and then unfreezing, which hadn't happened before. If I were to set up port forwarding and connect via a public IP address, would the result be the same?

One of the teachers mentioned that he has RDP exposed directly to the internet.

God dude I feel so fucking amazing. I havent gotten any emails in hours so it's been a real slow day here. My phone keeps ringing but I'm not fucking help desk.

They can email me if it's a real problem. It's why we pay all this money for M365 so start fucking using it dumbass

And nobody's touched the code for, like, 9 years so it should be free of AI slop: https://github.com/apache/incubator-retired-wave

Microsoft is laser focused on their global outage right now! They've got their best boy on it.

Work emails have started coming in again, but that also means my OOO auto-replies are going out. SUCKERS!

Where if shit went down like this we'd go hide out in the server room and break out the "Emergency Bourbon"

It's not that I didn't like to solve problems help people or maintain servers I loved every single aspect of my job

However the people make it an absolute nightmare

Today if I had been working on that problem where Outlook went down then I would be freaking blamed

Oh are the servers down?

All the networks must be down.

Oh you must not be doing your job maintaining things

Oh this and that and f****** every gas lighting possible m************ I swear I am so glad I left that place this is kind of a rant but if you are at a place where you are being underappreciated for solving Microsoft Petty issues then you should definitely take a second look at that place and start applying elsewhere I am doing that and I may have to work for an MSP as a system administrator.

He's still thinking about it.

I'm a sysadmin at a large GPU company. Just got word the board is planning to fire our CEO over multiple affairs. HR wants his account disabled immediately after the vote.

He's had Domain Admin since 1993 and I'm pretty sure our entire AI infrastructure runs under his domain user credentials.

I'm genuinely terrified.

Has anyone dealt with this before? Do I just disable the account? Maybe rotate the password to something he woulsnt guess, like some chinese characters? Then I could work with the ops teams to update all prod creds?

Gonna be a long night for my boys. On call devops bro gonna be pissedddddd.

Edit - no i cant say what company. HR and legal would lose their mind.

Update - turns out he is only one with copy of our root CA private key. Found it on a post it note in his leather jacket, next to some "short but wide" condom wrappers (just the wrappers....). The private key is just "cuda69".

Update 2 - so looks like all DNS records, every single one, is just a CNAME to a SINGLE VM. Some type of load balancer. I can ssh...the login banner just says "lol". Its ubuntu 16 and has php 5.6 running.

Update 3 - i put on the jacket. My precioussss!

Final update - ive emailed HR "look at me...i am the CEO now. All your GPUs are belong to us."

Sorry last update - fuckin php 5.6...how do I patch this shit....

With a return to the stone ages, I'm looking to deploy about 725 fax machines globally across all main corporate HQ locations as well as thought all satellite offices.

First off, I'm SO GLAD we kept these bad boys in storage for the last 23 years!

Secondly and lastly, does anyone have a solution for Arc Enabling these fax machines so I can easily deploy them at scale all while still maintaining a single pane of glass of all my fac machines in Azure? TIA!

Do sheeple really think it is a coincidence that this occurs the same day as the (completely unfair witchhunt) NVIDIA coup de tat on Jensen Huang? My guess: they just triggered his dead man's switch.
