How do you manage network from home, cabling never got fucked up? I know you can ssh/LOLtelnet into devices, but working exclusively from home?
I use windows for work, everyone here hates linux with good reason
>>55471623
who uses telnet anymore and why?
>>55471630
that's why there's a LOL in front of telnet. It's a possible to use it, not preferred solution
>>55471530
Who do you think makes all the shitposting on /g/?

Uh, I didn't say I worked from home. If you are referring to my greentext then you need to figure how gt works

I know some ancient shit I have to deal with for my job that only supports telnet.
I recently got a job as a mailman. I'm supposed to work 6 hours per day but so far I have only gotten very little mail so I work 2-3 hours with salary for 6 hours.

I'm a tech for a really small time computer consultant, it's pretty fun. Mostly doing security cameras and POSs and shit for restaurants and shops. Boss is really cool. Officially I only make $10/hr, but he finds all sorts of almost-tax-dodging ways to pay me extra as "reimbursements"--I get the maximum reimbursement for driving miles that the IRS allows, it's like 5 times what I actually pay in gas.

Hey man, you mess with security cameras you say? Can you give me a direction to look for hi res security cams? My condo association wants to put cams up and since I am a 'tech' guy they want to know what are some good cams. They want to be able to zoom in on the image recorded and actually be able to see detail, face, license plates, actual useful stuff, not end up with a grainy useless shit image. Is HD-TVi the way to go? They want like 10 of them to put around and monitor our parking areas and grounds.

Hopefully he does not get killed by locals when he tries hooking up with their women..lol. He is wary of that.

Nothing too crazy, though it does mean that I can use whatever technology I like to accomplish things. As a result, we have done really well and have incredibly efficient ways to develop things.

if the interview consisted of package managers and distros, expect the job to extremely junior level. I would guess 97-99% of this board are actually very amateur when it comes to skill level, don't let that cloud your judgement of your own skill. Have a similar skill level or riced up desktop is very different than working as an actual sysadmin. You should work on learning as much as you can and automating as much as you can.
