  • What part of “first car” confuses you?

    Sorry, I thought it was clear that it was an unfamiliar situation as a new driver, the lights was in a slightly unusual configuration so I didn’t see the light as I pulled up and thus never realized that I needed to shift my head to see it.

    As an IT technician, I have learned that everyone lies, weather they mean to or not, that is the entire reason of the “IT Aura” where shit just starts to work just because IT is watching the user.

    You may very well be doing it exactly right, but Microsoft decided to change how that task is done properly, technically still making it a user issue.

    The use of “X” was meant as a light hearted way of telling you that I believed something was left out of the explanation, this does not mean that it was done deliberately by you.

    Shit happens, I don’t blame you for Microsoft’s incompetence, but I do blame you for your insults, claiming that I am shit at my job because I haven’t seen an obscure issue that could be a normal missunderstanding of the normal update process, is, frankly, fucking stupid.

    Going forward, I recommend you to not take memes so litterarly, remember that everyone has haf a different life and experiences, so step back from insults.

    Oh, and your “fuck off” paragraph?

    I am a resonable person, and never even considered posting that, even after being insulted by you.

    Damn, you go straight for the insult?

    Not only do you go straight for the insult, but you also make claims that I have said things that I never did.

    I never claimed that it was impossible (if I did, quote me on that, and I’ll correct my mistake).

    I did add an X to my post to show that I doubted that a normal update did this, which is resonable as I have only heard about this here on Lemmy.

    You calling me shit at my job because I haven’t found or heard about an obscure problem tells me that lack the knowledge and skill to make any determination about my job skill.

    X

    IT technician here, I have a decade worth of experience dealing with computers and users, using Windows XP, 7, 10 and 11.

    I have remoted into user computer on every continent except south America and Antarctica. I have used keyboard layouts from UK, US, DE, DK, NO, FI, FR, ES, NL, SE, TR, JP and probably one or two I have forgotten.

    The only time I have seen the behavior described here was when using a third party patching system that fails to unlock bitlocker.

    That is a fair point, earlier I considered OpenMediaVault with a softraid and an LVM on top if it, but I take a lot of photos and have already seen bitrot in them, so I’d rather have some insurance for that.

    I will in general avoid expanding filesystems, and simply decide that when I need more space to start building a new NAS, copy the data to it and repurpose the old NAS with larger drives or as a test machine.

    Though this depends on how financially stable I am, I tend to buy parts over time…

    ZFS has bit rot protection.

    I am currently buying hardware for building my first NAS.

    For inspiration, this is what I am building:

    Case: White Jonsbo N4
    CPU: Ryzen 4600G
    RAM: Corsair Vengence 32GB DDR4 3600mhz
    Boot drive: Crucial T500 500GB nvme drive.
    Storage drives: Seagate Ironwolf Pro NT (I have not yet decided of what capacity I will use). PSU: Corsair SF750 (overkill, I know)



  • There used to be…

    I have seen servers with optical drives rigged to press the power button of another server when the drive ejects it’s tray.

    Just SSH into it and run the eject command, wait a few min, run it again, then run it twice again.

    This would make it hold the button to power it off, release the button, and push it quickly again to power up the machine.

    Note that you need the old desktop style of optical drive with a powered tray for this to work
