Waiting on two bosses and a lead of another team to answer the question of "who should have administrator access to $hostname ?"

Trying to install OnlyOffice, and having a terrible time getting the rabbitmq-server dependency running on the recommended CentOS7 platform

1 printer down because the legends who installed the new photocopier unplugged the network printer and plugged it into the new copier.

And seconds after I post that, I figure out that it's all because the ip address and hostname are missing from /etc/hosts. Ge, would be amazing to have the error logs actually tell you that.

Business at your fingertips -
@siringo - That always happens.
Everyone is having this problem!
After troubleshooting what is all but obviously an isolated problem you ask, "Whom else is experiencing this?".
Muffled talking.
Oh, it's just me, I guess.
Now I just ask that at the beginning.

Of the various dumb things end-users can do, I think this one boils my blood the most. "Help! Help! but not right now."

Yep, I agree.
It was an awkward call, it was from a person who I am possibly answerable to so I had to tread lightly.
I hour until Friday knock off. I wasn't going to have a drink tonight, but ..... -
Netflix, wine, bed.
