What really grinds my gears? When RMM software stops letting my copy and paste 😫 #sysadmin

Finally got a Magic Trackpad to finish my WFH setup! What do y’all’s setups look like? #wfh #homeoffice #setup

Dealing with Spectrum on some BS (who transfers an account but doesn’t link the new account number to the existing ID?)

But more importantly, I had to do a password reset and NO SPECIAL CHARACTERS ALLOWED?? What the helly

Don’t ever talk about this, but finally got surgery scheduled to get a new right hip! I’ve been in an unbelievable amount of chronic pain for 5 years due to AVN and can’t WAIT to be able to do things like walk without pain 😭 #avn #pain #surgery

Put a motion sensor in my office that says THATS HOW YA DO IT when I make it to my chair in the morning

Maybe that’ll be a better way for me to wake up in the morning 😂

I think they should put the people who do checkout for Trader Joe’s in charge of the TSA problem solved

Working my way through my month of lunches book, but subscribed to the newsletter. Once I’m actively working with PowerShell I’m sure I’ll subscribe to the premium!

Just saw Project Hail Mary! Absolutely a 10/10 film. Funny, serious, emotional…it kept my attention the whole time. I missed the deep dives into why things were happening from the book but the movie does a great job. #hailmary #movies

It’s #CharliePuth album day!! Listening while working. Loving it so far 🩵 #music

Why does Microsoft not have easily accessible links to their stuff? It’s always a help page with a link to the portal 😅 #microsoft #office365 #it

I just finished reading Facebook The Inside Story and while I’d consider it to be a stern critique of Facebook, it did shed light on the dark side of moderation and how difficult it actually can be

That being said, I definitely think the trend is more toward SaaS platforms. And when they don’t work it pisses me off even more

I think there are elements of the OS that are crucial - settings and file management. MacOS definitely has dropped the ball recently when they redid the settings menu, but I’ve learned to love it for file management. I’ll be honest barebones gnome file management makes me want to tear my hair out 😅

Staying on Track and Little Wins We all reach a point in our lives where we feel like we’ve hit a wall or don’t have time to focus on ourselves. I’m sure that feeling comes in waves throughout life…stuck in your career, dealing with the day to day of kids, waiting to retire. I’m only 33 and don’t have kids yet, but I also haven’t h

Trying to get better without burning out.

Lately it’s been more about small wins. Feel free to read about it here: danbrag.com/posts/staying-on-track-a...

Saving for when I get deeper into my PowerShell journey!

Very well paced, and I feel like it’s a refreshing narrative style! Honestly it could become a series of non-related stories— I’d read the shit out of that

The #Powershell help system is so powerful it needs its own topic! Love how robust it is (albeit could be overwhelming if you’re not used to reading man pages)

Glad they canned this season of #thebachelorette. Absolutely heartbreaking video of the TFP incident 🤮🤮

SO close to finishing @stephenfishbach.bsky.social’s book, Escape! Literally it got too late right after the climax. Been thinking about it all day #books #realitytv

Recently moved… finally got the last of my #smarthome setup! Those smart light switches are a procrastinator’s dream!

This is awesome, thank you! Truly appreciated.

I’m literally so bad at blue sky/x type socials - just never got fully immersed when it came out- so I’m doing my best to figure it out and connect haha

You’re definitely in my circle now!! My career has been a journey and I’m finally back doing what I love- at the ground level. Wanting to absorb everything at work and focus on one main valuable differentiator

Appreciate it!!

Appreciate the insight! From my very light experience, I’ve seen people using it but not leveraging it if that makes sense

Is #powershell criminally underused/underrated or do people just not talk about it much? #it #windows #sysadmin

Beginning a deeper dive into #Powershell! Been using it for scripts and such and piecemealing it together but I figured "let's formalize this!" #LearnPowerShell #Scripting #Sysadmin #WindowsAdmin

On Starting Over - Dan Brag Dot Com The idea of starting over — professionally, romantically, even on a large project — is a truly daunting one. No matter who you are, I can’t imagine that you aren’t full of nerves. Even if you’re excit...

Starting over is unimaginably scary.

No matter what it is, there's always that moment of "am I doing the right thing?"

I started over recently and it's been a scary but rewarding journey.
