A certain content filtering company has blocked a vendor for one of our customers. I white-listed the domain and submitted a request to have the domain analyzed. I got an email back saying thank you we have forwarded the request for completlywrongdomain.com to the research team.
I got a little snarky in the reply that half of my company can see, a distro. Mix up tickets much? sigh...

What drives me crazy isn't how little people know about IT basics (doesn't know that he needs to specify his OS, doesn't know that he needs to specify a version, doesn't know that teaming is not a single thing, doesn't know how to team on his OS, thinks that virtualization is silly and not needed, thinks teaming is done on the hardware and on and on...) but then goes to a community that he's clearly never read and asks for basic "I dont' know what I'm doing at all" level advice and then totally disregards advice when given. I think we call this an ask-hole.

He never claimed that he like physical, you assume that. I get why he wants the security camera on a spare hardware so it doesnt tax the the others software on the older machine.
He never said he hate virtualization. You assume that since he didnt mention it and talks about moving it off another system.
I'm sure I'm putting more strain on my body and each night I forget puts a strain on it.
Your the severe case. Mine is only moderate. If I keep this up, it will be severe.
Sweating bullets rolling out of bed. Oh ya, forgot my cpap, body was running a marathon to keep me alive.
Physical DC at a customer site. wow, just wow. Going to bed crying now.
Worked through lunch on 4 different issues and 1 of them beyond my skillset. Linux Docker system running on a desktop that is like a full CRM type application. How many errors do you spot there?

Either that Roki or some kind of Kodi device, such as an RPi or an old computer should suffice for what you are asking. If you go with either of the RPi or the computer routes then you could possibly get an SDR and that would take care of your OTA needs as well all in one package.
Was that English?

Is fiber available up there in the boonies where you are? We have fiber at the house and it is really solid. But we are in the real city, not on the abandoned side of the lake
No

I want to ditch cable but I am running into a few questions.
I have been used to using my Roku for Pandora, and Netflix.
I also watch shows on all the 4 major channels. I want to get some sports too, but I can deal with getting them on local with what ever I use for the 4 major networks. I also use the movie channels in my Directv package.
Then when I have family over that wants to watch anything from sports to kids shows, etcc. How do I cater to them?
Will Plex, Sling, and combos of Rokus get me what I need?
I need something to broadcast on my Bedroom, my office, my guest room and my living room.I already pay for Spotify, Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Pandora.
I am paying $160/mo with Directv with the 4 recivers 100+ basic channels and all the movie channels.
Critical news like the weather for hail, I guess I can get through my phone.I am paying for 18mb internet at $40, and that is the fastest they offer with a single line.
Switch DSL to coax. Get higher speeds for not much more cost. Same shitty service.
For the OTA, I use an antenna. I do not have sports, but you can sub directly to ESPN stuff if you want.
I sub to Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Cruchyroll.
Have not had subscription TV service in 15 years.
Coax her blows and less reliable.

Up early to go to a customer site to derail their network by re-ip it. Had lots of vpn issues due to the typical subnet that home routers are on.
Then hopefully being able to make a message.

I doubt it. VoIP is done through another contractor and what they have here is ancient.
Telephony. If it aint broke, dont touch it, because no one wants to touch it with a 10 foot pole.

But this guy knows it is wrong and knows it is not his call.
He did his due diligence and got it document, he realized it wasn't worth wasting more time.

One of my co-workers had a ticket open with 365 support and they punted it and said good luck since we are having problems with Teams on Windows 7. I have seen other postings of them making support announcements today. Yeah us.
That's what you get for using Windows but hating Windows. If you use an OS but don't embrace it, you will always lose.
client doesnt want to upgrade 1 user, so they want us to continue to look at it. Solution. Use the Teams web and forget using the app.

Someone who likes cigars please explain something to me. Why would someone spend $1500 on 1 single cigar?
Background: I have a Social Media client that is a high-end cigar shop (I do all their social media stuff for them). I don't get cigars... let alone the cost for some of these.
I need to be able to market these things but can't find good ways to describe them for ads.
Cigars are a wonderful vice for me, though I do not smoke more than 1 a month (usually less). I enjoy them when I can. Think of having a cigar as adding another row of violins to an orchestra when you're sitting in your back yard, working on your motorcycle, or doing anything else you enjoy, complementing the rest of the orchestra that you're already listening to.
Personally, I do not spend anything on cigars any more; I have too many (more than 300 in my humidor). There's enough to last me the rest of my life, most likely. Expensive cigars are in my humidor, just like the cheap ones, and they're all different, just like comparing an expensive whiskey with a cheap one. Sure, I'll probably reach for my favorite Nub Maduro cigar every time, but if I've got friends over or someone who really enjoys cigars, I may get out the rarer Oliva V Torpedoes that have a couple years of age on them. Maybe I'm celebrating a new job and want to go with a cigar that's not supposed to be in my humidor - a Cuban Cohiba or Montecristo. In any case, the choice of what you're smoking and when is all very personal and may be as simple as something you really, really like and can enjoy any time.
Couldn't agree more. I used to smoke a lot but got expensive for the things that were happening in my life. I would never pass up an offer to smoke a good one. Cigars are a perfect complement to a after work task you enjoy. Just like a beer or wine is perfect compliment to sitting down and watching TV, but cigars are more social (than watching tv) if people around you do not mind the smell.
