IT Operations & Networking
Running systems and networks, at work or at home.
ugh. were a 50 person company and use number matching for MFA today. After hearing about push bombing attacks, Im wondering whether were as protected as we think. Users approve things without reading, and phishing kits proxy everything anyway. Whats a…
not gonna lie this is driving me nuts this worked fine last week... today, on a fresh Ubuntu box, teh web container dies right away: i didnt change the compose file. port 27017. ive checked Task Manager and htop and i cant find anything obvious :) is Docker…
ok weird one rolling out 40 laptops... the client install via client push fails over and over: the error is exit code 1603 😭 our consultant set this up years ago and left. I know just enough ConfigMgr to be dangerous. where should I start? We have a single…
CI just broke. The deploy step connects to the backup server and fails with: Nothing changed in the pipeline. The key is stored as a CI secret. This used to work last week, I promise. I suspect a recent client or server update changed something, but I have…
help!! home lab drama. rocky Linux on my physical srever got a kernel update and now it panics during boot: it was running for months without a hiccup. is this hardware failing at teh worst possible time, or the update? I haven't touched the hardware in…
Curious how others handled the move away from SMS codes at a place like a hospital IT department. Who got hardware keys, who stayed on app based approvals, and how did you handle lost devices? I'm also curious about what happens when someone loses their…
so annoyed rn question for ppl whove been through it: for a internal IT team with a few internal tools, did moving to Kubernetes pay off? im interested in the operational reality: upgrades, debugging, on call, not teh conference talk version. im not against…
not gonna lie this is driving me nuts we run a small warehouse with one flat network: PCs, the server, smart TVs, everything. It works. But I keep reading that IoT deivces are a big risk and should be isolated. Is a separate VLAN worth teh effort here, and…
help!! starting fresh with on prem servers. I can either do classic CI/CD where the pipeline deploys, or set up a GitOps controller watching a config repo. a small agency, limited time. What would u choose today? i have about two weeks to set this up before…
long time lurker first post lol home lab drama. AlmaLinux on my home lab box got a kernel update and now it panics during boot: It was running for months withuot a hiccup. Is this hardware failing at teh worst possible time, or teh update?? i havent touched…
Deployed our cron job to GKE and it never becomes ready: kubectl get pods shows CrashLoopBackOff and a growing restart count. kubectl logs returns nothing at all. The same image runs fine with docker run on my laptop. Where do I look? The deployment manifest…
we manage a mostly remote team and are planning a migration. leadership asks if we can rteire ConfigMgr and go Intune only. I like the idea of less infrastructure, but we rely on things like task sequences and detailed reporting. has anyone fully made the…
ok so users report random no network issues and some PCs pop up an IP conflict warning: Our scope is 192.168.0.0/24. i set the network printer to a static adrdess years ago and honestly dont remember which one. Could that be related?? I suspect our IP plan,…
so annoyed rn we need to image virtual machines at the main office. They start a network boot and then: the distribution point has PXE enabled and the boot images are distributed. other locations work fine... i have a stack of boxes and a deadline... where…
so annoyed rn settnig up a Windows 11 laptop for a new colleague. it joins the office Wi Fi, the password is accepted, and then: they start tomorrow morning. i tried the troubelshooter, it fixed nothing 😅 any ideas before i just give them my own laptop? The…
long time lurker first post lol deployed our worker pod to GKE and it never becomes ready: kubectl get pods shows CrashLoopBackOff and a growing restart count. kubectl logs returns nothing at all. The same image runs fine with docker run on my latpop. Where…
im literally losing my mind here we renewed teh certificate on our VPN web login yesterday 😤 on my desktop browser everything looks fine. but an older Windows server now fails with: the certificate isnt expired, teh name matches... nothing else changed. why…
ok so i set up the corporate IPsec client for our small team. The connection establishes, handshake looks good, but no traffic gets to inetrnal websites: Pings to internal IPs time out. Im sure the server side is running. What am i overlooking? The server…
so annoyed rn deployed our database migration job to EKS and it never becomes ready: kubectl get pods shows CrashLoopBackOff and a growing restart count. kubectl logs returns nothing at all. The same image runs fine with docker run on my laptop. where do i…
help!! question for ppl whove been through it: for a two person team with client websites, did moving to Kubernetes pay off? im interested in the operational reality: upgrades, debugging, on call, not the conference talk version. im not against Kubernetes in…

We deploy the ConfigMgr client with teh task sequence, and teh new kiosk PCs just won't get it. The console shows: ccmsetup.log ends with 0x800706ba, other machines in teh same OU installed fine.. 🤦 ive been staring at logs for two hours and Im going in…
im literally losing my mind here routine patching on our Fedora physical server. Updates installed without errors, I rebooted, and this is what greeted me on the console: the services on this box matter. i have console access but i've never dealt with a…
Weird one. The GitLab runner disk is full: but when i run du sh / teh numbers don't add up to anywhere near the disk size. It's like teh space is invisible. Builds keep failing at dokcer build. i checked teh obvious folders, home directories and /tmp, and…
this worked fine last week, today, on my laptop, the reverse proxy dies right away: i didn't change the compose file. Port 6379. i've checked Task Manager and htop and i can't find anything obvious. Is Docker keeping a ghost reservation? ive already run…
