  • Oh man, Teams +Outlook + Office 365 + onedrive +Copilot?

    So good for office shit. So bad for hood practices.

    “Hey copilot I’m pretty sure I got an email asking if I had an SOP on X. Can you find that email and the SOP?”

    “Copilot, using the recording of the teams meeting ‘Training from Vendor X’ and my notes on ‘Tool Y’ can you compile that into a FAQ sheet for us?”

    Sure it misses stuff and is only so good because none of the data is private, but man that’s 90% of my work load for SOP making. Worth the $400 a year corporate pays for it.





  • I’m on year 5 of fully committed to Linux everything (minus work) and I still assume “oh yeah I can probably just sudo force the thing I want. Reading logs takes too long” and yeah it bites me in the ass sometimes.

    Its weird to hold Linus (Tech Tips) to such a high standard for no other reason than he makes tech YouTube videos.

    I’m a fucking sys admin and I make the same mistakes. Its human. I’m glad he’s at least making Linux seem accessible while also bringing to light the realities of how different the troubleshooting strat is from Windows to Linux.












  • And if you just want a NAS? It is really hard to go wrong with a 4 bay NAS from one of the reremovedble vendors (which may just be ugreen at this point?) as those tend to still come out cheaper than building it yourself and 4 disks means you can either play with fire with RAID5 or not be stupid and do RAID1.

    Actually ASUS started to sell N100 motherboards with the CPU soldered on for $120

    That plus a jonsbo N2 or N3, a few extra pieces, and its a few hundred dollars cheaper than the Ugreen options. Sure it will probably run Truenas instead of Ugreens custom truenas or whatever its built on, but that extra $300 is another 24TB hard drive or a HexOS lifetime subscription.

    There’s also always the classic buy an old mid sized tower for $100 and slap two massive hard drives in it
