u/Forgetful_Admin

Came here to ask the same question. Current system is BMC Client Management with Patch Management Premium. Only about 50% of my servers update and reboot within their maintenance windows. About 30% will install if I can re-deploy later in the week, and 20% end up requiring me to manually install the KBs.

We do not as "Why?", we ask "How much?"

And at $299/mo the answer is "NO!"

HOLY COW!!! I didn't notice that... glad I didn't hit the button!

Dang, checked out their ebay store and the adapters are half price (yay) and the shipping is half price too... $45...

Does this introduce much lag? I've tried a few BT controllers and the lag is just enough to be annoying.

Thank you!

Awesome! Thank you!

Awesome! I can't wait to test!

Maybe this will FINALLY help make up my mind. I have just about every recipe manager available running. Tandoor and Mealie are the two front runners.

I'm running ErsatzTV on a Core i5 7th Gen, and just use the Intel Quick Sync for transcoding. I have another 10 containers running on that same system and never experienced any issues*...

• no issues caused by transcoding or containers. I've caused plenty of issues that took everything down...

You can find all the old crappy ads you had to sit through in ye olde days on YouTube and the Internet Archive.

I use ErsatzTV to create Star Trek, Law and Order, Cartoons and Non-Trek Sci-Fi channels.

For the Cartoons channel I dug up all the ads I could find for toys I had as a kid... Except I only used ads for toys that are no longer available. Magna Doodle, Shrinky Dinks, T, Centurions, G.I. Joe Walkie Talkies, Star Trek, Battle Star Galactica, SPACE:1999 toy sets, Evel Knievel Stunt Cycle, 6 million Dollar Man... Tones of them out there!

Then when the little nieces and nephews visit and watch the best old cartoons in the world, my brothers and sisters get: 1# hear their kids beg for toys, cereals, and candies that don't exist. 2# get to explain that these things don't exist. 3# rinse - repeat.

Currently 150Mb Before the end of the year I should be able to upgrade to 1Gb fiber.

I've downloaded a bunch of packages of the MegaMod, but I didn't see instructions on how to use them.

Do I drop them in the UQM HD folder?

Sadly this is very normal.

Network documentation? Tom! Where do you keep the router and switch configs? OK, look here at the router configs, that'll teach you the network.

Log into a domain controller and look at our Group Policies. That'll teach you the server configs.

Linux servers? That guy died 2 years ago, but they are still running, so we haven't needed to figure them out.

Been doing this for 30 years. Documentation is always tha last thing on the list. The list is really long. There is always something urgent that needs attention.

But... Hey, they just hired us a new guy, and he's asking about training on our infrastructure...

Training? That's not a bad idea.

Hey new guy! You want to learn the infrastructure? Ha ha... There's no better way of learning, than by doing!

LoL March, just like 4 weeks ago.

My last support case was an issue with SQL. I opened the case in Feb. 2024. After being passed around from SQL suooprt to AD support, to SQL suppor, to Windows supporrt, rince, repeate, We finally fixed the issue in May 2025.

At the end it took one guy about 20 minutes to walk us through the resolution.

He wasn't involved with any of the previous support cases. It was just random 'luck?' that he happened to be available on a day I called in and insisted SOMEBODY get on the phone and help us out.

If I have to 'give' them admin rights, they really are not good enough to work here.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!111!!one

My MiSTer Pi was driving me CRAZY... Well, mostly my wife. Who hears noise when stepping into the archades of their youth???

Moved the jumper, nearly silent!

On second thought though... Perhaps the only way to muffel the noise is... MDF and Plywood...

"I know Hon, it is really loud." "Yeah it is kinda anoying. Don't wory, I got this." "Why'd I but a bunch of plywood and picked up an old TV off the curb?" "I'm gonna build a new... Case. Yeah, a case for my noisy archade machine!"

DNS conditional forwarders point to Cisco Umbrella/OpenDNS

This server only has the DCs set for DNS

No browser installed. It's a core install, but I'm sure Windows Update has some IE burried in there somewhere.

I wish this was possible with iPhones... I've got a dozen iPhone 11 and newer sitting in a drawer at the office.
