It's nice to use as an education path. I am currently studying the cert book for RHCSA/RHCE.

This. I think for someone that doesn't have to use Linux on a day to day basis getting a cert delineates foundational knowledge and skills that has to be learned.

So moral of the story; don't bother with a $2.50 VULTR instance.

I had no issue with mine.

Right the system was probably totally overloaded at the time.

I'm sure it bounces all over the place.

It's when the minority screams the loudest, making the headlines... where the media projects prejudice and stereotyping. That's why it only takes a few to ruin it for good majority. And you can insert that statement into anything... professions, politics, religion, race, anything.

So ridiculously fast when they run, though. Buddy in high school had a '79 Esprit turbo. Got damn is was fast.

I have not heard back since sending my e-mail to management. I haven't had to do a lot of RMAs on hard drives personally, but the ones I have done (Western Digital/Samsung) have all been advanced replacement. In the past I've also been able to do advanced replacements on motherboards & network equipment so for me advanced replacement was the norm, not the exception.

BTW someone had asked - I have 6 TB written and the drive has 30% free space. Also I'm pretty sure it only has a 5 year warranty, but I could be wrong.

Let the gifs die 🙂

I have a user like that. They punished her with another laptop because she's a manager.

@EddieJennings said in Cisco a "Skill" Hee hee:

I will say, I learned what I know about networking while taking the classes for my Associate's degree, which were my CCNA preparation classes. I've obviously learned more since then, but that training did move me beyond clueless. 🙂

Same here!

Exactly. All the s$&t goes here.

chrome makes this look like nonsense, and Scott yelled at me for not knowing what "samp;t" meant.

Google samp;t Hrm, somehow I don't think the Google get's it. Tho I wouldn't mind having a bunch of surface to air missiles handy.

More than three years later, they still don't really know what happened! Hard to believe that this has been going on for so long.

Thank You

@Minion-Queen said in Over documentation:

The idea of creating the document to help you build out your documentation in theory should be a one time thing... As the management side of things I would say that there is hardly ever a case where too much documentation is an issue. All documentation should be done on the theory of "what if I get hit by a bus today?" can someone else step into my position seamlessly and the client not see any lag?

Too much documentation, though, can result in people being unable to find what is needed and the time needed to maintain it can become a point of inefficiency. And the more that there is, the more likely that it will go out of date and become a negative rather than a positive. Only good documentation is useful, and the more documentation you have, the higher chances that some of it will not be maintained.

We had an old guy that would "document" everything. He had tons of binders full of stuff and his home directory was huge with "documentation." His documentation was he would make a tiny note and then run a command and copy the output. That's pretty much all his notes were spanning back to ~2004-2005. He left and we ended up throwing it all away because we couldn't find anything useful at all.

@PenguinWrangler Don't worry Time will speak soon

To disable for individual users:

Set-clutter -identity [email protected] -Enable $false

For an entire organization (tenant)

Get-Mailbox | Set-Clutter -Enable $false

You do have to be signed into your O365 environment by PowerShell:

$session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri "https://outlook.office365.com/powershell-liveid/" -Credential $cred -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection

It will ask you to authenticate. Use your normal creds.

Import-PSSession $session
You will see another module load and you're in to run the above scripts.
