Currently we have "Fucking Grandstream" because they took my proof-of-concept network and just bought more of them rather than reading the second page that described the correct build-out
whatever - everyone else has a 100Mbit limit on their connections right now. I have a separate network drop for my workstation :P
Does Cisco have reasonably-priced gigabit 4-line phones yet?

@mdmarra I have a 2008 R2 DC that boots into safe mode; every time. Doesn't BSOD, doesn't give me boot options and if I force boot options and choose "normal" it still boots into safe mode.
I'm about to restore from backup; just wondering if you have any insights before I do
@ewwhite Thanks; all is good, it was just an update to FreeNAS I did in an attempt to resolve the performance issues. Looks like the RAID dissappeared due to a bug in the drives' firmware; rolling back fixed it. Still investigating
@RyJones Hah, that guy who posted rm -rf / answers cleverly disguised a few days ago? He came back and defended his fucking actions as "It was clearly a joke, nobody would run that would they!?"
I clearly do not understand either VMware Resource pools or basic math because my server and I seem to disagree on how much RAM I can allocate to my various VMs :-p
@MDMarra thanks. I'd be a willing listener! @ewwhite has already taught me much about VMware. In this case I'm pretty sure it's just me making a silly math error however :-)
Oh, yes. Like assigning 100% of the CPU resources to only two of the VMs on the host :-p
I got a call from one of our managed services guys yesterday. A customer had deleted all of the DCs for one of their child domains out of VMware, because they decided they didn't want that child domain anymore and they were wondering why they were getting all kinds of replication errors and why the domain was still showing up in places like Sites & Services.
He wanted to know where you start with a problem like that. I said "By assigning the ticket to someone else"
@Tanner because you can't get the OS to boot, so you use an external tool to set the bootloader to that value so you don't have to trigger a safeboot from inside of the OS that you're locked out of?
Or, in the event of a DC, you want to stay in DSRM between restore operations until you're totally done restoring
I have a customer, sorta... who paid me a lot of $ to move their data center, establish colo, comms, procure hardware, network, add firewall, VPN, license, etc.
it's a web development shop
I did the project as a fixed price
but now that they're running, they don't want to pay me for the questions they have
the owner thinks his head developer should be able to do things.
They asked me for a very specific VPN hack to help their offshore devs... it was 90 minutes of my time... I charged.
but they need another office connected and went the route of buying a Cisco router instead of an ASA, and spent hours on the phone with CDW and Cisco getting a VPN established.
And I called them out on it... I'm like, "you don't have to pay my rate every time you need something. Just pay a retainer and I'll monitor your systems"
like $500/mo...
they're in my colo, across the row from my stuff... my recommendation... I sold the hardware, etc, etc.
and they're asking for manuals and documentation so that they can call HP or VMware if they have a problem.
Is the client's logic flawed?
and how do I convince them that there's a threshold...
Hey, if they want to run their own stuff, that's fine. Let them. Just make sure they know that when things go all to hell, it's going to be above your normal hourly rate to untangle the mess.
@MichaelHampton well, what's the cutoff? I understand he wants to learn... and as a dev, he may be capable, but how do you say, "I do this shit all the time, all-day, everyday"
@ewwhite And then another 2 hours to fix what they broke when they try to do it on their own and didn't realize they didn't really understand something.

@ewwhite I've had people pay $140 an hour to have me do things more slowly, and I've had one guy pay me $225 an hour to let him vent about how upset he was that his RAID status hadn't been monitored (because he had previously declined to pay a token monthly fee for monitoring). Whatever.
@MichaelHampton so is there a concise way of saying, "I can't condense a full career of implementations and systems administration into digestible snippets that will suddenly make you 'qualified' to do this"?
@MichaelHampton Well, sure. Learning RoR, you just need to learn how do stuff. To go from dev to sysadmin, you have to learn what stuff to do, how to do it, and why.
@RyJones Well if you see a guy called [redacted] who used to be the head sysadmin at Fog Creek, kick him in the nuts for me. I was this close to getting a job there and being relocated to NY when he went and quit and made hiring me too risky of a move
@RyJones Because they needed someone local to fill the role and it was going to take too long and too expensive to relocate me. If he had stayed it wasn't a critical position so they could take a risk. But when he went to Twitter, the role became more critical to be filled quickly and they didn't want to take the risk of moving me to fill the hole, and then have me ragequit and want to go back to Australia
I totally understand; I wouldn't have hired me in that situation either
I have a webserver hosted on AWS, with the security group allowing access from all IP address's to TCP port 22 (ssh) and 443 (https). ssh access requires a user to have my private key.
