woke up to monitoring alerts and this lovely page on every URL: its a Docker Compose stack behind Nginx, and it seems to happen whenever someone uploads a big file... the error log mentions the upstream a lot but Im not sure if thats the cause or just a…

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…
PSA for anyone who never actually tried it: teh Konami code is not just a meme, it really does things in a bunch of Konami games. In Contra (NES, North American release) u enter it on the title screen: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, then…
so annoyed rn performance has been my pet project for months and we were finally all green. Then this: CLS regressed on the home page after a few small releases 🤦 Nothing darmatic changed in the layout. The suspcets are an image carousel and maybe a font…
ok weird one genuine question from someone who doesnt fully get it.. 🙏 if my base frame rate is 50 FPS and driver level frame generation doubles the number on screen, is the game actually more responsive or just smoother to look at? and does that matter in…

ok weird one maintenance mode is not supposed to last all afternoon, right? i started updating WooCommerce from the dashboard. The progress spinner ran for ages, then i clicked away too early. Since then the site is stuck on the maintenance message. i have…
philosophical driver question. my old sound card isnt supported anymore, but its paid for. i can get it working with an old driver and a few tricks. is that a reasnoable thing to do, or am i setting myself up for security issues and random crasehs?? id love…
This is driving me up the wall lmao an open world RPG runs beautifully on my RTX 3080 until right after loading a save, then black screen, then the crash dialog: ive reinstalled the driver, verified game files and even turned off my overlay apps. benchmarks…
im literally losing my mind here im a school IT volunteer, and our tool list keeps growing while the budget doesnt. Right now Im looking at uptime monitoring, which is currently a patchwork of free accounts and spreadsheets. There are dozens of options and…
not gonna lie this is driving me nuts hi! I have fifteen years in IT, teh last few at a school district... ive seen enough failed udpates and dead drives for a lifetime, and I still find it interesitng. im hoping to answer questions here and maybe pick up…
ugh. my label printer has been on my desk for ages. After moving to a fresh Windows install, i get: i found an old driver CD but its the same story. is there a compatible driver from a similar model, or some built in Windows driver i can try? id honestly be…
ok so philosophical driver question. my first gen VR headset isn't supported anymore, but teh replacement is worse. I can get it working with an old driver and a few tricks... is that a reasonable thing to do, or am I setting myself up for security isuses…
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…
A story in three acts. Act one: the wifi washing machine wants an update lmao Act two: the update fails. Act three: it keeps beeping every ten minutes. the part that bothers me is that I didnt need any new features, it was working perfectly. now Im worried…
ok so our homepage LCP regressed and stakeholders are asking why: the only notable change is installing an optimization plugin... mobile is much worse than dsektop. a product photo is reported as the LCP element... what tools and steps do you use to break…
im literally losing my mind here getting 502 Bad Gateway right after every deploy, and its starting to cost us orders. The setup is Apache proxying to Gunicorn on a small VPS. CPU graphs look normal, disk isnt full. The proxy itself is clearly alive because…
search Consoles Pages report has a big grey bar that keeps growing: 'Crawled currently not indexed' for over 300 category pages. Google clearly found them and visited them, then decided not to show them. i've clicked Request Indexing on a few, nothing…
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…
Confession: I chose the renewed 512GB NVMe to save money for a better GPU. After a month I ran a SMART check because a friend told me to. The Percentage Used line is yellow. The seller says refurbished drives are fully tested. I am now wondering what exactly…
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…
ok weird one my headphones crackle and pop during YouTube videos. Its not constant, more like random little bursts every few seconds. The driver page shows this warning: ive tried a different cable. my phone through the same headphones sounds perfect :D so…
