now that i think about it, this would be handy for remote support techs walking a user on-site on what to do…
“you see the 3rd switch from the top that has the cisco logo? i’ll need you to power cycle it”
2 hours later
“oh i found it”
vs.
“you see the girl with the blue hair? unplug the box her hair’s connected to”
thanks. i have a laptop i deliberately installed debian on… but that’s about it lol
i’ll take you up on the support suggestion too… i recently had to figure out why a unix server went down at work. luckily we had a set of scripts and commands archived from the manager that supported it before he left. all i did was just run them with a little bit of logic and context applied, but it forced me to poke around a bit and seeing what each command did. i was careful enough not to break anything but i found it quite interesting
that being said… what’s a good website i can at least go to and learn some linux basics and progress to more advanced stuff? i’d at least want to check that out before i start bugging people…
i had the opportunity to take a class back in college but 18 yr old me couldn’t handle a 7am class and know-it-alls in the back always interrupting the teacher and trying to show off in class…
I like Keepass - Password manager housed in an encrypted database. (dont’ lose your master password)
lmao i loved prison break… so many people i come across hated it
my sentiments exactly…
to be honest, i felt like that general view of culture fueled its way into the real world. i have people at work thinking the IT department is just some bastion of antisocial hermits that you can just talk to anyhow, or know automatically what exact issue you have when you say “my computer is not working”.
i’ve handled some level of helpdesk support over the past 20 years…
till this day, i discover something new that i’ve never come across before. granted, some of it has to do with the newer versions of windows and mobile devices but just whenever i figure i’ve seen it all, something new comes up almost every day
cool man, thank you and @[email protected] for the helpful repsonses… i’ll check out the dual boot option… also i wouldn’t even mind using a remote access tool to access a standalone windows based pc if i really needed to… im getting tired of their ship
curious… as someone who primarily browses the web, and works with apps like adobe creative suite, office 365, and zoom… could i still use linux comfortably?
im willing to pick up on new ways do things and i wouldn’t even mind if i had the ability to switch back/forth between OS’s using the same computer (is that possible?)
a piece of history i wish i could pull up and remind myself how far i’ve come in web design
a pneumatic table is definitely one of my must-haves this year… just so darn expensive
