  • “No! Not that! Anything but IT tickets!”

    “Hahahahaha! Brenda’s homepage got changed to something other than MSN and now she thinks her internet is broken! She can’t be bothered to use the remote desktop software so YOU HAVE TO WALK TO HER DESK! She’s on the sixth floor of a different building and she leaves in 30 minutes so best hurry!”

    “NOOOOOO”

    “HAHAHAHA BRENDA MAKES TWICE YOUR SALARY AND SHE’LL ACT LIKE IT TOO!”

    The beast cowered in fear and began to whimper. I was getting close. It was weakened. I just had to push it over the edge.

    “And when you’re done helping Brenda, someone somewhere in building three accidentally plugged two ethernet outlets together, creating a loop and bringing the whole network down, AND IT’S YOUR JOB TO FIGURE OUT WHERE! HAVE FUN SEARCHING A WHOLE FLOOR FOR A ROGUE ETHERNET HUB WHILE EVERYONE SCREAMS AT YOU THAT THEY CAN’T WORK BECAUSE THE NETWORK IS DOWN!!!”

    Screaming, crying in its native tongue about LACP, the beast fled into the woods. My companion was shaken, but unharmed. The rest of our trek was uneventful.




  • Seagate Ironwolfs aren’t too bad actually. They’re NAS grade, not enterprise grade, but they’re a damn sight faster than Seagate’s Barracuda consumer lineup. Performance is more or less the same from manufacturer to manufacturer and ime the decent sized Ironwolfs get up to 200~300MB/s read which is pretty darn good for a hard drive. Even better if you use em in a RAID array.

    Congratulations OP on making a good purchasing decision completely by accident
