Grandma can’t see the pins anymore to take them out.
She made me a lovely quilt. I’m pretty sure I’ll never be done pulling pins out of it.

Treat that vest very carefully for a while. No sudden moves.

Mmm. Ya ya. No argument. But its iDRAC. I’ve had to sit through enough propaganda. I’m pretty sure about this.

Mmm. Had to look this up. Good stuff.

I hate it when my boss says that. Or he will call it “D-RAC”. Annoys the hell out of me.
It’s iDRAC.
Yes, there are components that are called RAC, but the Dell out of band management system is called iDRAC.
… but that’s not as dumb as when he calls the SuperMicro system “iLO”. That’s IPMI. We don’t even own any HPE. I’ve no idea why he’s stuck on iLO.

I keep a Windows 2008 w Java 6 VM on ice for administering old Java console shit like that.
The VM is unsafe as hell. Completely virgin unpatched. The only protection is that I don’t give it a gateway or dns, and I shut it down when its not in use.
And it works. Old Java shit can still be used.

VMware does this with its virtual networking. If a change takes it offline, it automatically rolls it back. It can be frustrating at times, but mostly its saved my ass.

This is the NetAdmin’s problem. And he’s got 3 ways to get into the datacenter, so he goddamn well better have an answer that doesn’t involve airfare. Worst case, he’s gotta use remote hands, but that would be embarrassing, and I’d not let him forget it. Nobody forgives me when I screw up a server cluster, so he gets no latitude when he takes a datacenter offline.

Maybe she’s a digital fantasy. Did you look for extra fingers and such?

I usually do 10 squats. Would I get half a ticket?

Came here for this. The rest of this post is shite.

To be fair, there are a lot of inane articles saying this exact same thing about javascript. If its true, its ancient history, and I’m tired of it. I learned javascript when it was a babe, and watched many other platforms fall by the wayside. I’m not defending anything about it, but javascript works. Still.

The nest is my primary target. Cover up, knock it down, destroy it, walk away for a bit, they all leave. Fuk wasps.

Hmm. When you consulted “every source I could find about wasps in the US” apparently you chose to disregard the direct feedback of people on the front line. Hmm.

If you are too close to the nest, they will send out scouts, and then you can expect an attack. Kill them first.

Fuk wasps.

There seems to be a vast gulf here. American wasps will fukin attack you for fun. So you kill them first.

These are the wasps that I know and destroy.

Fascinating. Its not that I have some obsession with killing wasps, but its something I do immediately. When I see nests, I eliminate them. I will tell the property owner, “You’re welcome.”

Where I live, it is considered a community service to kill wasps. Seriously. Gotta die.

I’ve had a server’s permit for years, used to be a bouncer. In the cert class, they train you on several different ways to cut people off. They have short videos, awful acting, but very real situations that illustrate how it is done, including this method.
