Grraaaaah!

Grraaaaah! 

I've been bashing my head against this stupid networking problem all day.. only to discover someone went and fucked up the ipmi config at somepoint after I set it up last week..

Cause you know... completely changing the vlan, IP and setting the fucking router IP to 0.0.0.0 would uh explain "ttl expired when I ping it."

To bad I can't tell who did it...

SAP 

@mawr That sounds about right for my experiences. vmWare is it's own nightmare but argh... it actually works with their white list.

Hyper-V is great... until it isn't and 99% the cause is some weird edge case that makes you want to pull your hair out... and then the hair out of the Hyper-V dev team.

SAP 

@mawr
Although they were pushing headless hyper-v and Win Server solutions hard at least 2-3 years ago and practically giving it away to anyone that would sign up (ignore the insane cost of support contracts for calls though...)

That shit was a nightmare when I was working in Support.

Especially since Hyper-V Gen 2 and 3 were super buggy on when it came to VSS functionality and lot of the basic features you'd want related to backup and restoring a virtual environment

SAP 

@mawr Oracle competing with itself... sounds right.

On the MS side, I suppose I've not been exposed to that and lately MS's enterprise offerings have been super pricey with the exception of O365 and it's associated product lines.

Then again they dominate the small to medium enterprise market and open source solutions are scary for a lot of small to medium businesses that don't have the in house staffing to implement and manage them.

SAP 

@mawr Oh... and M$ Dynamics is at least cheaper than SAP or Oracle ERP when the a M$ enterprise product actually cheaper than the competition something has to be wrong..

SAP 

@mawr SAP is gross... I feel the same way about any hyper-convergence solution as well. Either literally build your own in a colo or go public cloud... or if you are small and don't burning a ton of cash find a good managed hosting solution (Good luck!) and then implement a not shitty solution...

Fuck Salesforce is less shitty and has it's own private cloud hosting (Depending on what you are using SAP for)

Just looking at it seems like a fucking nightmare

SAP 

It's taken me a while to learn enough to feel confident in holding this opinion, but:

SAP is REAL FUCKEN BAD.

Base SAP is kind of like buying an empty server rack with no doors, and you have to buy every component that you stick in that server rack-- but even after you buy the component, you have to build it by hand with custom built components to make it all work

So it has all the disadvantages of a ground-up custom solution and none of the advantages, and it costs MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

I couldn't resist sharing the image more directly.
It me! (not my commish, just my aesthetic) :-D

invite request 

@crom Actually not sure what the correct procedure here is, I have a friend caught in the witches.town fallout that has been trying to contact you for an invite to awoo.space but at present it seems nothing from witches.town is getting out.

@mawr Tuesday would just become the new Monday! Unless everyone else at your company still worked Monday..

@KinkyKobolds And it could have all kind of uses! Need to get to the cookies on the top shelf in the pantry? Koboldapult!

Need to replace some lightbulbs? Launch one of your fellows up with the fresh bulb! Hopefully they have the Dex to hang from the fixture!

:plush: 🏙 📣 ❕ We're in the cloud now! :D 

@announcements Welcome to cloud town, Plush City! Don't mind the rough air... sometimes storm dragons just want to have a good time.

@mawr I'm starting to become a fan of sensu. It has an extremely versatile API and huge open source community. It's not quite as bloated as nagios (the other monitoring solution we use at work and are slowly replacing with sensu)
