As others have mentioned, it refers to the gear shift. But it actually has a meaningful origin - many years ago, the gear order was not agreed upon. Many cars had a gear shift that was PNDLR (which I've heard pronounced "pendler"), where reverse was at the end. At the time, it was useful to tell the difference between a PRNDL and a PNDLR shift.

Of course that was all before 1971, when PRNDL was mandated by the US government.

There are some public numbers on how many occurrences are found each year on the major platforms.

IIRC, Facebook deals with around 75 million reports per year. Twitter, Reddit, and others were around 20 million reports per year.

I don't know how many are dealt with on Mastodon or Lemmy (or how you'd even get reliable numbers for that), but something tells me it's a lot less than the bigger platforms these days.

You are helping - they clearly need the additional training, and you're doing everything you can to supply that. Their job can't be relying on you.

They shouldn't (and almost certainly don't) have delegation authority.

For corporate bingo, the keywords are upskill, cross-training, and bus factor.

Don't show. Guide them to do it themselves. Never be the one to actually do it beyond the first time.

If they still refuse to learn, make them take notes. Make them read to you their notes from last time. Make them tell you what each step is and means.

Make asking you the hardest option for them to get what they want.

I would totally do that even if there was nothing there.

Downvote for posting a very time-sensitive article from 2022

Even if this is true (very big IF), why would you publish that? The OpSec makes no sense. Are they trying to bait Russia into attacking to get a unified response? That seems like an incredibly risky move.

There are credible (but obviously unconfirmed) reports that Putin has cancer.

Trump is a lardass and old, but no specific health concerns are reported.

You must not be American. Adults wearing DARE shirts are not bootlickers for the DEA. They wear it ironically.

This seems perfectly reasonable. I'm sure the people wearing DARE shirts will take this seriously and help out.

One of the things about rabies that makes it absolutely terrifying is that it can remain dormant for years after exposure. You could have it right now, even. But the only way to test is post-mortem.

Why would you ever think that dealing with Wells Fargo was going to be in your best interest?

 

I'm looking to upgrade some of my internal systems to 10 gigabit, and seeing some patchy/conflicting/outdated info. Does anyone have any experience with local fiber? This would be entirely isolated to within my LAN, to enable faster access to my fileserver.

Current existing hardware:

  • MikroTik CSS326-24G-2S+RM, featuring 2 SFP+ ports capable of 10GbE
  • File server with a consumer-grade desktop PC motherboard. I have multiple options for this one going forward, but all will have at least 1 open PCIe x4+ slot
  • This file server already has an LSI SAS x8 card connected to an external DAS
  • Additional consumer-grade desktop PC, also featuring an open PCIe x4 slot.
  • Physical access to run a fiber cable through the ceiling/walls

My primary goal is to have these connected as fast as possible to each other, while also allowing access to the rest of the LAN. I'm reluctant to use Cat6a (which is what these are currently using) due to reports of excessive heat and instability from the SFP+ modules.

As such, I'm willing to run some fiber cables. Here is my current plan, mostly sourced from FS:

  • 2x Supermicro AOC-STGN-i2S / AOC-STGN-i1S (sourced from eBay)
  • 2x Intel E10GSFPSR Compatible 10GBASE-SR SFP+ 850nm 300m DOM Duplex LC/UPC MMF Optical Transceiver Module (FS P/N: SFP-10GSR-85 for the NIC side)
  • 2x Ubiquiti UF-MM-10G Compatible 10GBASE-SR SFP+ 850nm 300m DOM Duplex LC/UPC MMF Optical Transceiver Module (FS P/N: SFP-10GSR-85, for the switch side)
  • 2x 15m (49ft) Fiber Patch Cable, LC UPC to LC UPC, Duplex, 2 Fibers, Multimode (OM4), Riser (OFNR), 2.0mm, Tight-Buffered, Aqua (FS P/N: OM4LCDX)

I know the cards are x8, but it seems that's only needed to max out both ports. I will only be using one port on each card.

Are fiber keystone jacks/couplers (FS P/N: KJ-OM4LCDX) a bad idea?

Am I missing something completely? Are these even compatible with each other? I chose Ubiquti for the switch SFP+ since Mikrotik doesn't vendor-lock, AFAICT.
