Wobbly One Of Myriads @wobblewuffess@awoo.space

@Nephila yeah...

Fuck people who don't follow request processes and ignore my on pto status on slack to ask me about projects I have never heard about that they need done asap but if they had followed our order process I'd of know about weeks ago

So my comp day for racking up 12 hours of OT during my oncall week including a 3am colo trip has turned to storm dragoness confusedly looking up shit and trying to figure out how to fit more installs at a location with no remote hands or lift in my week.

I'm not sure how I feel about this..because RMS is pretty out there... but fuck if this doesn't resonate with me a lot.

@chara Far less of a problem once you get the surface temperature down below the boiling point of lead.

@Angle

Personally.. crazy stellar engineering sounds waaaay more fun that just building a matrioshka swarm so... I'm down!

@Angle Also down for that! But if we are slapping a big reflector/collector in orbit... it probably wouldn't be difficult to gravity tractor something big enough to help with the rotational issues...

Hell let's strap some rockets onto Titan and boost it over. Now there plenty of hydrocarbons for centuries...

Okay this is sounding like a lot of work... space dragon bodies are probably easier..

Just hear me out....

Look... we could go hunting for some other Goldilocks planet to seed and terraform... but there is one nearby. VENUS!

Put up a big ass network of solar collectors in orbit, start cooling it down. Crash some big comets into it for more water and 02... start terraforming!

Gravity is a pleasant .9G, thicker atmo and higher 02 content means flying is much easier!

Maybe a little terrain sculpting to add some more cool mountains..

@Pathia You definitely need an exorcist..

Just because I'm a evening storm dragoness does not mean I want to go to the data center at 3am universe

Bleh... I want to work from home and be lazy today... but there are 3 boxes of shit on my desk that need to be packaged and shipped...so I have to show up long enough to do that... but then how to bail without seeming like a jerk...

I do have an audit for one of our datacenters on my project list... I guess I could get that started an use it as an excuse to leave the office... /Sam doing to much planning when she should just take a pto day.

This morning in the bay area..

Hail
Lightning
EARTHQUAKE....

Can I go back to bed?

but.. OMG YAY LIGHTNING (even if the thunder woke me up)

Sigh... today started pretty good... now it's gone down the shitter and not much I can do about it... plus... my face feels super fucking flush and hot and I don't know why x.x

just kinda... wtf... was someone setting up another box with the same kvm and realized they were on the wrong port.. fucked mine up and then went on to do thier thing?

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...

@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.

@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

@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.

@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..

@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
