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.
dbtng@eviltoast.orgto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Portal: Revolution drops Native Linux support to focus on ProtonEnglish61·2 days agoI did not enjoy the mod. Perhaps I’ll try it again someday.
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.

I’m gonna break one of my rules and explain my joke …
Where I live, the things behind it are spatulas. And so is the red rubber thing. And they are clearly not the same.
… So that’s funny. Err … well I think its funny. I’m not very funny.
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.
