  • Mostly in the areas unmaintained to the degree that someone can pull off grafitti of this size and get a nice picture of it in the light.

    It's a massive fucking amount of land. Of course there's a lot of shitholes. There's also a lot of natural beauty about as well.

  • No, you see he's got a metal stick shoved in there, so it would blow out the back of the barrel and leave him without a scratch! Haven't you ever seen Looney Tunes?

    YSK that murder is now legal in California. Fully legal. Slaughter a family of four by driving over the speed limit. Go home.

  • Does a shocking and infuriating result of a court case really qualify as a "You Should Know"?

    On top of the outrageous hyperbole going on here. Just because someone got away with something heinous doesn't mean the laws have changed.

  • they will hint strongly that I should get it done on my time off.

    They can fuck right off. Do whatever you can to not bring work home with you. If they haven't hired enough manpower to complete the tasks they need done without someone working overtime or during time off? That's on your manager, not you.

    Don't do work when you aren't paid for it.

  • There are ways to get more relevant info (when using terms that have different meanings based on context), to reduce the needless ass kissing, and to help ensure you get response in formats more useful to you. But being able to provide it context is not some magic fix for the underlying problems of the way this tech is constructed and its limitations. It will never be trustworthy.

    Edit: God forbid anyone want our criticism to be based of an understanding of this shit rather than pure vitriol and hot takes.

  • Base line level of trust in co-worker comperence combined with either too much workload to give everything a fine toothed comb through, or too much laziness to bother.

    Presented by F, slide deck created by E, based off conclusions made by D, from data formatted to look good to them by C, from work that they asked B to do, which was ultimately done by low man on the totem pole A.

    All it takes is for one person in that chain to be considered trustworthy for every level above it to consider it trustworthy info by default.

  • I see you've never worked in a medium to large business. Very often the average person will assume that someone else did that.

    Also, what AI tools do you use?

    CoPilot Chat is particularly popular right now due to Microsoft including it with Office 365 subscriptions, it having a ton of security controls built into the same places in Azure where you're already configuring shit, and terms about not training off of data input to it. Popular for sysadmins already drowning in Microsoft's bullshit who don't want to spend a lot of time on managing the slop generator(s).

    Notably, it doesn't cite sources.

  • My workplace (finance company) bought out an investments company for a steal because they were having legal troubles, managed to pin it on a few individuals, then fired the individuals under scrutiny.

    Our leadership thought the income and amount of assets they controlled was worth the risk.

    This new group has been the biggest pain in the ass. Complete refusal to actually fold into the company culture, standards, even IT coverage. Kept trying to sidestep even basic stuff like returning old laptops after upgrades.

    When I was still tech support, I had two particularly fun interactions with them. One was when it was discovered that one of their top earners got fired for shady shit, then they discovered a month later that he had set his mailbox to autoreply to every email pointing his former clients to his personal email. Then, they hired back this guy and he lasted a whole day before they caught him trying to steal as much private company info as he could grab. The other incident was when I got a call from this poor intern they hired, then dumped the responsibility for this awful home grown mess of Microsoft Access, Excel, and Word docs all linked over ODBC on this kid. Our side of IT refused to support it and kept asking them to meet with project management and our internal developers to get it brought up into this century. They refused to let us help them.

    In the back half of last year, our circus of an Infosec Department finally locked down access to unapproved LLMs and AI tools. Officially we had been restricted to one specific one by written policy, signed by all employees, for over a year but it took someone getting caught by their coworker putting private info into a free public chatbot for them to enforce it.

    Guess what sub-company is hundreds of thousands of dollars into a shadow IT project that has went through literally none of the proper channels to start using an explicitly disallowed LLM to process private customer data?

  • Not a problem if you already walk around Costco full mast. Got some wondeful memories of many moments of passion in the Costco restrooms finding out just how many $1 hotdogs I could fit into my rectum. Just try going soft with half a dozen of those delicious meat tubes all up in you.

  • What, it should absolutely be a case of manslaughter through negligence at minimum. Who the fuck pulls a gun on a family member for an argument?

  • Synology nas slows down local network?

    Jump

  • If you power the NAS off completely, do the network issues disappear? Wi-fi can be effected by all sorts of things and it sounds like you're currently just going off of a gut feeling.

    Honestly, my first step would be to get as much as possible on wired connections. This could be as simple as wireless spectrum congestion due to a neighbor getting a new wireless AP.

    Then I'd be checking network logs for the synology. I would expect it to have some way to do that.

    Beyond that, "network issues" doesn't give a lot to work with. Is it complete loss of connection, slow speed? And can you quantify it with any network logs or diagnostics?

    If it was just from adding one more piece of hardware to your network that is sitting idle, I would expect you to have seen it before now with say, an extra cell phone on your wifi.

  • Unsubscribing to shit you don't care about, using the search on the desktop client to be able to select 100s of emails and delete them at a time, and automatic filters are your friend.

    And like someone else said, if it's over like a month old and unread, chuck it in an "archive" folder and mark all as read. They'll still be there if you absolutely need them, but won't be cluttering stuff up.

    Don't try to manage it from the phone app, it's a pain in the ass.

    Caveat: I say all this with even more unread than your picture, and having not done any cleanup of my inboxes (besides setting filters on my work one) in years. I just remember what did work for me the last time I was on top of my inbox for a few years in college.

    feddit.org's Zionist bar problem: community ban(s) vote

    Jump

  • While I don't entirely agree with your opinions on this, I think that this particular governance post has a drastically different and far more emotionally charged tone compared to even the last one, where the decision was made to explicitly make this horrid ideology against the rules. It's concerning, and I hope it is not a sign of things to come.

    The many examples also don't show full context (especially what our users were responding to with such vitriol), and all of them feature harsh language from our users being removed. There's not a single one I saw there where someone was talking calmly and it was removed. (Edit: With the exception of cryptagion's one)

    I grew up in the cesspool of 4chan. Conversation does not require calm and kind language to occur. I'm also not trying to police tone on topics like this... but it significantly undermines things if this is our best evidence.

    I've been thinking long and hard on my feelings and response to this, and I'll be making my own top level comment in a day or two.

    Got no issue throwing out the trash. Have no in-depth experience with feddit.org to go off of. But I have concerns with how this was brought to the community and what feels like a small but significant shift in administration approach lately, or at least the communication of it (not flatworm being the messenger, to be clear).
