d00phy , to Work Reform in Do memes from 1911 count if they're still true?

The military level should swap places with the one beneath it.

d00phy , to Work Reform in I this a firm and polite way to tell an opinionated coworker to stop pushing his agenda I don't care about?

I think this is the best answer. Think of it in terms of what would the boss (a good boss, that is) say? I can actually hear my managers say this. Many of the options here could be taken by the other person as you thinking you’re “better than” them. This is a fair and accurate response that doesn’t get personal.

d00phy , to Work Reform in Why does a prospective employer need my address?

Work history is what references are for. They do not need your SSN until they start withholding SS benefits for you. I think I used to include my address on ye olde papier résumés I would send out, so not sure how much I’d want to die on that particular hill.

d00phy , to Work Reform in The fun thing about needing a job is that all the advice is either incredibly demeaning or incredibly futile. Usually both

It’s important to remember you are not looking for a family to join, you’re literally marketing your skillset to employers looking to hire. It feels dehumanizing because it is. Before hiring you, companies don’t really care about your personality. If they decide to hire you, good companies consider how your personality will fit in with the current team. Also, who you know can be a big part of finding a job. Always has been, in fact. Marketing yourself is really nothing new. The particulars have changed, but the core process is basically the same.

d00phy , to Work Reform in ‘Zombie Offices’ Spell Trouble for Some Banks - The New York Times

Sounds like a good idea on the surface, but I’ve read elsewhere that office space isn’t really suited to living space, and converting it is cost prohibitive in many cases because the buildings were never intended for residential use. Still, in a crisis there are always creative solutions to address some hurdles. Problem is that takes political will. Something that’s hard to find, at least in the US.

d00phy , to Work Reform in If you work in a mostly female workplace, are you expected to hate/dislike the patients your female coworkers dislike?

Why can’t you do both? Sometimes, have an opinion about a thing, and other times you maybe just don’t care enough to devote the CPU/RAM to it. I love the way you phrased it though!

d00phy , to Sysadmin in What do you use to track BMCs/KVMs/IPMI?

This seems like a good use case for a cluster manager. I’ve used xCAT in the past and recently Lenovo has an interesting project called Confluent that includes a web interface. A paid option would be Bright. These are made to manage hundreds to thousands of nodes.

d00phy OP , to Home Improvement in well pump help

Never thought there were filters. Guess it makes sense, though.

d00phy , to Sysadmin in Now that everyone hates Red Hat, what's a good alternative to RHCSA/RHCE?

Some, yes. I think it still being Red Hat adjacent has us talking about the other two more. Should be interesting to see how it plays out. I doubt much will change and we’ll have to keep having difficult conversations with customers about RH license costs.

d00phy , to Sysadmin in Now that everyone hates Red Hat, what's a good alternative to RHCSA/RHCE?

This is the straw that broke the camel’s back. Red Hat has gotten greedier and greedier since IBM bought it. 99.99% of my work is new RHEL installs, and we are looking at Ubuntu & SLES lately.

d00phy , to RedditMigration in r/ZeroWaste mod talks about ongoing "plague of bots" spamming comments at an extremely high rate

This is something I’ve been wondering for awhile: if I were a mod on Reddit, and was being threatened by the admins to bend the knee, as it were, my response would likely be to remove any and all tools i had put in place to help me moderate, and say, “goodbye.”

I’m sure there’s something I’m just not understanding, but why isn’t this happening?
