coffee#2

should i go with a cheap windows vps or zero tier to a home pc?
can get a windows 2019 server with 6gb ram and 2 vcpu for 9.95/month.
hmmm.

just wondering if i should have coffee #2 one hour earlier than normal?

updating veeam on servers with cylance AV. not a pretty exercise, not terrible, but could be easier.

working on a saturday!

listening to David Nance

dull basic sysadmin stuff on a sunny friday.

go hawks!

reimaging malware infested laptops

day 1 after 5 weeks off.
come back and wsus has gone berserk, got servers with MBs of free space left.

coming back gets harder each time, i really wonder why i come back some times.

@nadnerB yep, we're hoping the humidity isn't too bad, it killed us the other year in west Arnhem Land.

Not been up there before, it's a little busier than we like, peoplewise, but it's gotta be seen, so we're going.

waking up, having breakfast, WFH today.
2 weeks until we head off to Cape York.

just finished lunch. now onto other things.

never realised i can store approx 21 litres of water in pvc pipe measuring 150mm x 1200mm. hmmm, useful.

tidying up an overlooked AD

@nadnerB am running 3rd party filters in it which aren't 100% the correct size, so this pushes that, which puts that out of alignment, next thing you know it's venting under the cap, hence leaking.

stinking diesel zorst fumes in the cab aint nice.

think i've finally solved why i get fumes out the top of the catch can in the 4wd.
that took way too long.

glad to be sitting inside. a cold front as come through and it's freezing. nothing like you northern guys get, nowhere near, but for down here, it's freezing.

coffee number 2 on a reasonably sunny sunday morning.

went down the beach yesterday, lovely. still water, large waves for this beach gently rolling in evenly, very few folks around.

milder than it should be. 'they' say it's going to be a warmer winter than usual with less rain.

had the 2 yearly pay review last week. got an extra buck twenty an hour, so that's an extra 0.60 per hour extra for the past 2 years.

i was earning more in the 90s. anyone else in that bag?

Not now, but that was me between 2014-2022.

yeah, it sucks. too late for me to do anything about that unfortunately, i got other plans for my life now, which is good, less IT, more life.
