@scottalanmiller said in Looking For Alternate IT roles: @jmoore said in Looking For Alternate IT roles: So i saw one vote for specializing in Cloud. Are there any other must learn technologies that would be good for someone with my experience? The biggest factor will be... what do you enjoy? I knew someone was going to ask this. Its the reason I havent specialized yet. I have about 30 books I have bought, waiting to read and study, because they were all interesting. They are on the topics of: Powershell, Linux, Advanced C++, 3 different Python books, 2 books on Git, Ansible, Voip(Asterisk cert book), Storage(have my SCSP cert book) and will probably venture to VMWare after that, SQL has been great fun when I use it, MCSA books from microsoft because I know I should and Virtualization. I read constanty from blogs to books on all these topics. I love playing with various tools in several of these categories. I know I'm all over the place lol but thats what I like and could see myself specializing in any of those if I needed too.

@DimS said in Looking for Career Advice: Gaining some additional certifications is always an option. Looking into something like VMware would definitely be worth the while. Thanks for the input!

@JaredBusch Oh yes I know. I do that on my own. I'll remind him.

@jmoore said in Question about Raid Performance: @scottalanmiller Ok thanks I understand a little better now. I certainly have no complaints with my current setup but I'm always looking to expand my knowledge. Youtube Video

@zachary715 Ok thanks. We are using Exchange on site.

@phlipelder that sounds like a cool setup. Yeah I'm not looking to go crazy here but it looks like I will be staying with what I got. I got a single PCi-e 3 something along with a couple 1 tb sandisk ssd's for storage with a bunch of fast ram. I thnk I will just stick with that formula for my next workstation

@bnrstnr It may be easy to do yeah but first time I've ever seen someone do that to a pc

hello, I 've had the same issues, and after many attempts and trying most suggestions I 've found online such as uninstall hyper v, remove antivirus, run windows update troubleshooter changing bios settings for virtualisation, and clearing windows>softwaredistribution folder, fixing Windows corruption errors with DISM & SFC tools and restarting bits and windows installer... and nothing seemed to do the trick.. until I thought to try decrypting the C drive i had encrypted with VeraCrypt... and bingo this fixed it for me...

@jmoore said in Phone system: @scottalanmiller Yeah I know she is just a sales person but she should know more than that. Sadly bad management doesn't get just how bad this sales person is at their job (after you show them that the sales person was clueless on how it all fit together). Can I haz money now?

That might be the biggest thing. Good points and your probably right on the training And beatings, user beatings are often necessary as well. lol I will remember that but then some of the ladies might not bring me home made tamales and chocolate chip cookies... Or maybe they will bring more! Excellent point!

@flaxking said in Local Admin PW: That's just if you don't want it to run as the 'root' user, which I've never had an any incentive to change. Which pretty much defeats the purpose, anyway.

@jmoore said in Software and Hardware Raid: For myself there is value in me running a good Raid system at home. Who couldn't use a little better performance and reliability? I will do Raid 10. The most important thing to me is the learning experience and I like knowing best practices if at all possible. However, there are still things to consider. Remember everything I do at home is to help me learn something else in case I ever need it and I just l lots of vm's in a Raid 10 system? That's actually great for learning at home. Nothing is handed to you on a silver platter ready to go. That said, getting KVM and software RAID running is straight forward (notice I didn't say easy.)

Hosted is certainly viable. On site is viable too. Depends on what you want from the system.

@scottalanmiller Ok thanks!

@scottalanmiller said in Phones: @fuznutz04 said in Phones: GS has come a long way since even a year ago. New models this year? They are always upgrading their models it seems. But I was referring to their firmware. The firmware improves with each release, and adds stuff that should have been there in the first place, as well as bug fixes as usual.

@dashrender Yeah I agree with that. I think I will offer to do it for free this time and explain to him its a learning opportunity for me.

@dominica said in A Sunflower Blooms: Thanks, fixed now. That's what you get for letting your husband get involved, no proof reading. But most of you are used to that by now from him. haha yep

I'd really ask yourself if there is actually evidence that he is smart, or is it not more likely that he's just good at playing the political game and has a position of authority for possibly less than ethical reasons? None of us know him, we only know him through your descriptions. But basically every thing said about him sounds like "holy cow, this guy is clueless and I'd not keep him as an intern" then suddenly "he's a smart guy" kind of sticks out as not matching the description we've been getting thus far. A well meaning blundering buffoon, sure. That's how he sounded until then. Now it sounds like maybe he's setting up a heist or a network hostage situation.

That worked great. Thanks Scott! Updating my documentation now

@scottalanmiller said in Vultr: Use the banner ads here... ML gets like a $5 credit for you joining from the community. And you get something too, no idea what. Damnit... I completely spaced this when setting up a new account today Sorry guys.

@scottalanmiller I'll try it the next time I'm in vi.
