Heritage Foundation president celebrates Supreme Court immunity decision: "We are in the process of the second American Revolution"
  • Bro, this is a weird place. I was just commenting about how Google sucks for searching up solutions to technical issues I come across at work, so I utilize AI. People got hostile and my comments deleted. I can't wrap my head around some of the communities.

  • Well, AI made our search unusable dogshit. But AI *also* made us miss our climate goals, so
  • Yep clearly it's over my head, brah. The only point I'm making is that I no longer rely on Google for certain information. The reason being is that I'd have to go through 10 pages of reading online forum posts to find a solution to a problem. Where as with AI, it takes all the available information and provides me either 1 solution or multiple solutions all within one shot. Sometimes the information it provides is incorrect and more than likely it just has to do with how I'm phrasing the question. When I rephrase the question, then it provides the answer I'm looking for.

    So do I spend 1 hour reading through posts from different online forum boards to find my answer, or do I spend 1 minute, hell even 10 minutes, asking a question and having a summary of answer(s) provided to me?

    Call me an idiot if it makes you feel better, but I'm getting the results I require and saving time.

    I will give you an example, this was for a recent project we had with a machine that requires to be connected to the internet at all times through a VPN connection.

    How to setup Windows VPN to automatically reconnect after connection loss using PowerShell?

    Using PowerShell Script
    Create a PowerShell Script to Monitor and Reconnect VPN:
    
    Open Notepad and paste the following script:
    In powershell
    
    $vpnName = "Your_VPN_Connection_Name"
    $username = "your_username"
    $password = "your_password"
    
    while ($true) {
        $vpnConnection = Get-VpnConnection -Name $vpnName
        if ($vpnConnection.ConnectionStatus -ne "Connected") {
            rasdial $vpnName $username $password
        }
        Start-Sleep -Seconds 60
    }
    Replace $vpnName, $username, and $password with your VPN connection details.
    Save this file with a .ps1 extension, e.g., vpn_reconnect.ps1.
    Set Up Task Scheduler to Run the PowerShell Script:
    
    Follow the same steps as in Method 2, but when selecting the program to start, use powershell.exe and add the script path as an argument.
    Example: powershell.exe -File "C:\path\to\your\vpn_reconnect.ps1"

  • Narrow boundaries? I don't use Google primarily due to the waste of time going through pages upon pages of information I'm looking for.

    Just about my entire IT team uses AI for searching IT related issues and solutions to those issues. However, I personally apply it to other subject matters besides IT.

  • CentOS 6.3 - Best backup / restore solution?

    Hello everyone!

    My manager just brought to my attention that this organization has a CentOS 6.3 server - he didn't specify what it's hosting just yet but asked that I find a solution to do a full backup so that we may restore later onto bare metal with the option to migrate from CentOS to another Linux distro.

    Has anyone had experience with backing up / restoring CentOS 6? And if you know what would be the best Linux distro to replace CentOS 6? Or even a step by step guide for both or either one?

    Please and thanks in advance!

    I'm trying to understand how the rules work - is the mod overreacting or misunderstanding?

    Hey all.. I don't even know if this is the right community. But figured I'd ask here and worst case no one gives a response.

    Anyway, two of my comments were deleted and I was banned from a community:

    >Banned

    >@StaySquared from the community Lefty [email protected] reason: reactionary

    The post was about how there's no such thing was unskilled work. I commented that, "sex work" is an unskilled job. And my second comment was that it was the first thing that came to mind, that a clown creating animal-shaped balloons are more skilled than a sex worker.

    I don't understand how this is reactionary? Or how it's defined in this community but apparently it's bad enough to get banned for it. I wish the mod(s) would give a clear explanation, otherwise I'm going to continue breaking rules aimlessly (without realizing I'm breaking the rules).

    Definition of reactionary: opposing political or social liberalization or reform.

    I'm not opposing sex work. I'm defining sex work as an unskilled talent/job. If a man or woman wants to be a sex worker, good for them. I'm not offended or negatively impacted by sex workers.

    So I guess the question is, how do I contact the mods or a mod of that community so they may get my defense before outright perma-banning me from the community?
