@scottalanmiller SOP for Spectrum, don't ask how I know

Hiking today with the kids

@gjacobse so far pi4 and my 857d with signalink. Not rsdy for prime time but sort of works. Pictues later hopefully

@gjacobse corruption in the raid array itself usually a disk error but not enough to flag the drive as bad unfortunately for me. Previous admin did a raid 5 not a raid 10 thus I am backing g up data while waiting for drive replacements to arrive

Jsut realized I have been lacking in taking notes on the items that I do. Used to be really good at writing things down (I don't use onenote perfer good old paper and pen); trying to find notes on something I did back 2 years ago (pre-pandemic) and last notes I have are from 2018. Need to force myself back into teh note habbit, especiall as we're moving to a new model of zero trust/quazi lan less.

@gjacobse I know. I have 8+ acres now to set up an antenna or 2!

Hey I had an interview today too! Local hardware distributor good track record looking to add to their tech support team. Their Corporate marketing manager recommended me for the position (Former co-worker, I wasn't asking them for a job) didnt even officially "apply" they just asked if I had a resume last week/ Went very well want me back next week for an in person walk though. (and hopefully an offer).
Now the questions going to become do I wan tot take a possible pay cut to go work for them? The job will definitely be a bit of a learning cureve but definitely what I want to do (more LInux admin and VoIP stuff which Im weak at now)

@scottalanmiller as I found in our case, AD here was adding absolutes 0% while actually creating more of an administrative headache. 99% of our applications here are "in the cloud" (unlike my old company) and all the DC was doing was print, some file shares, and 1 or 2 group policies (that weren't even working right!). So moving to Teams (see post in other discussion) will alleviate the file share; may build a linux file server for 1 or 2 use cases where Teams/Sharepoint won't work. Group policies are unnecessary and worst case we can upgrade our licenses and go Azure AD/Intune if we need to. Printing, well its printing and it sucks but we'll figure it out. Best is the CTO and President are on board without so much as a blink.

Exploring g the Cortland,NY area. Found beer

@WrCombs Something to look forward to
Me to my "new" boss: "we should make this change to allow for better security, require everyone to MFA at least x amount"
Answer I'm expecting: We'll have to research it and pass it up the chain (that would have been my old job)
Answer I got: "You're the security officer, make it so"

Me: When did I become the security officer?
New Boss: Just now!

@scottalanmiller Its nice because I-T is getting buy in from the start AND we're segmenting who does what, unlike my old place where it would be me doing all of it the day before we move.

@WrCombs Think we all got new jobs around the same time, just noticed its my 6 month anniversary too

@EddieJennings @gjacobse Congrats to both of you, new jobs for everyone!

My oldest is 10 this is his birthday weekend big party today. Breakfast Fiesta tomorrow

@WrCombs It's not a Monday around here without A) coffee and B) a printer behaving worse than my kids

@NerdyDad Check and see if Cogent can come to your area. They have been very helpful with our Internet setup (we have an AS number and still had to pry-out of Verizon's hands our owned IP addresses). Also if Telia can get out there (have a PoP in Dallas) they have dirt cheap Tier-1 bandwidth. Wasn't someone on here doing a fiber mapping site as well that you could check?

Was that the ti 99 and the xt expansion unit? That was my first "PC"

@scottalanmiller Currently in Amherst. Grew up in Kenmore, lived in Lockport and North Tonawanda before "rooting" where I am now. While I've left and "visited" other areas still always came back.

Hello. I am new to the community and wanted to say "HI". I have over 20 years of IT "experience" being the Jack-of-All-Trades for my current company, and doing pre-sales I phoen support prior. Look forward to picking up some new knowledge and skills.
