Still looking for a tech in Amesbury, MASS. Nothing crazy, just remote hands that can follow directions and stuff. Able to help someone remotely troubleshoot networking.

Just found out someone submitted my info to unemployment. Great, now I get to add working on fraud to my list of stressors.
Just some random person filed unemployment for you? WTF
Yeah, it's the latest fraud target.

Trying to fill eight hours of work is... well work. I miss and enjoy working from home.. but it's also a pain. We have to document in .25 increments.
I've managed to listen to droning training, all while updating my instance of NC, rPi and laptop running U20.04.. about out of things I could do..
do you have to document what you're doing every 15 minutes??
how unworkable. -

how unworkable.Agreed. We have to keep a basic summary of the things we worked on for as long as we are working remotely, but it's nowhere near that granular.

Son went to Er for bad stomach pain, so waiting for news.
Just sent him off by himself? Good one.
@scottalanmiller said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
Oh no, I hope that everything is okay.
Also this.
Thanks, I know what you mean. His mom took him.
Any news?
Doctor said it was a torsion. He may have to have surgery, not sure yet.
Sorry to hear that mate, what's a torsion? I hope it's not serious.

That's what it seems like currently - only found out because Nebraska Dept of Labor sent a request for past employment.
of course, I call to try to report fraud - and I just get - leave a voicemail, and perhaps we'll call you back in 30 weeks.

Tell them you can be that detailed as soon as they also require that detail in the office.
That is asinine.

Also don’t neglect putting at least an hour a day down as “documenting my day”

can't you just not respond and they'll drop it all because you didn't respond?
I'm sure they wouldn't do anything if you didn't. -
@JaredBusch I just did my first eye appointment in 30 years yesterday. I didn't know eye dilation was a thing. I walked outside and asked who put the second sun in the sky it was so bright.

looking for a simple windows desktop thing that can give me a visual indication of the status (contactable, not contactable) of 15 windows servers. Just something simple that can launch from the taskbar, do a ping, and colour an object red or green dependant upon the reply.
Anyone know of anything. Free is best.
servers are on zero tier. -

Well I don't understand it entirely myself. Its a testicle torsion. That is where some tube in there gets twisted and it shouldn't be. I am told cause is mostly genetic, for whatever that means. I did not have it when I was a kid and had never heard of it either.

That sounds like something my nephew had. Woke up in real bad pain & had to go to hospital. Hurts like hell from what I heard. Poor fella.

So the Dept went a bought 1600 new servers, with 3 x 1.2TB in RAID 5.
What do you think about that! -

RAID 5 & 1.2TB disks!
But, maybe they could only lay their hands on X amount of disks and had to settle for 3 just so they could roll out enough servers.
It's getting hard to source stuff, I went to the garage the other day for new wiper blades and the bloke said he can't get any. -

how unworkable.In a manner of speaking yes - I'm taking the approach that a call or a email is .25 - even if it only takes me eight minutes to address... and updating the spreadsheet is part of that,.. so - meh what ever.

Damn skippy - that's a given.
