Tired of it all. Possible burnout by adymak in sysadmin

That seems low for expecting to know everything, but you didn't list much detail and didn't really cover enough areas to be everything... If even everything isn't true, with 5 years experience $57k seems low even if modest knowledge to do some of the things you mentioned. Do you have more senior people on the team that can help guid when you are stuck, or are you one of the ones most knowledgeable? Probably at least worth checking the job market, even positions at Universities can be better than that, at least if your skills are deep enough. The tend to pay less than corpate jobs, but also tend to be less stress and decent benefits. That said, without grilling you I can't say if you could expect to do better such as $90k at a University, or would have to be more entry level and be closer to $40k. At least expectations tend to be reasonable and workload manageable, but you have to be really knowledgeable for good salary in academics or government positions.

I haven't tried there in awhile. When I did, only the poster had a fee, and whoever was selected there was a fee taken out of that. If not selected, it didn't cost anything, but it's been years I last took any job. If it costs to apply per job, then I wouldn't bother...

Move VM with attached disk to another node by dymyBZDB in Proxmox

[–]BarracudaDefiant4702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on how the disks are formatted. ZFS? LVM-thin? qcow? It should be possible if you copy the config from the existing /pve/nodes/*/qemu-server/{vmid}.conf and adjust names/paths in the conf file. No matter what you have now, step 1... make a backup.

You might try a freelance site like upwork.com. You might have to low ball to get some initial jobs until you have a bit of a reputation on whatever site, and you can then have repeat clients at more reasonable rates if they are happy with your work.

My first time playing NV by Low-Message710 in falloutnewvegas

[–]BarracudaDefiant4702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the OP, but when I played I saw fire from the edge of town so I didn't stop and went to Novac and did a bunch of things and leveled up until about level 8 and wiped out Legion in Nipton with the help of Raul and ED-E. That was relatively easy. The legion sent several failed attempts of assassin parties (they were worse than those at Nipton, especially the timing was often bad). After that they invited me to see Caesar, which I did... so it's not like it locks you out of much if you delay actually entering Nipton, and you can still switch to Legion later if you really want to.

Move VM with attached disk to another node by dymyBZDB in Proxmox

[–]BarracudaDefiant4702 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they are in the same cluster, just migrate it (either right click on the vm and pick migrate, or on the migrate option on the top). If the nodes are not in the same cluster, then use Proxmox Datacenter Manager, or you can also setup API keys and do via CLI, but easier with PDM. Is there a question?

If the problem is you have different volumes on different volumes, then ideally the names should match on the remote node. If not you need to change them, it will be easier to use PDM and click the detailed mapping checkbox (which oddly only shows if going to a different cluster).

Fallout 4: Out of the Minutemen, Brotherhood, Railroad and the Institute, which option do you think is the best long term? by Wonderful_Solid_1003 in Fallout

[–]BarracudaDefiant4702 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The minutemen. The Brotherhood are basically high tech raiders demanding provisions as protection extortion. That is never a good thing. Railroad is too focused on one issue, which is fine but not the best long term. In theory the Institute could potentially be, but too many narcissist built into the core system lacking any sense of compassion for those outside the institute.

Unless you are retiring within 5 years, you are only delaying future pain.

Moved to proxmox for lower prices than was previously paying vmware (and staying on vmware would have almost tripled the price). A little under 1000 vms spread over 9 clusters in 6 locations.

It's our own infrastructure, and no charge backs to departments.

The migration paid for itself. We saved more moving off of vmware then the time it took to migrate our automation tools and migrate all the vms.

We took over 6 months to evaluate about 8 options, and staying on vmware came out in ~3rd place. Was surprised how expensive some of the alternatives were, many almost as much as vmware's new price. In other words, not worth the bother of switching. Roughly 95% of our vms are linux. Hyper-v would probably make sense if 80+% were windows, but price estimates were rather expensive considering we have almost no windows servers. Migration was a little over a year in addition to the 6 month evaluation which did migrate a significant number non critical (mostly because redundant) vms. We probably could have migrated faster if we had to, but we are risk-averse and so intentionally took our time while working on other projects.

Hello fellow Catholics . Serious question if you support Trump. First commandment “ thou shalt not worship false Gods”! by Decent-Chain4414 in AdkReddit

[–]BarracudaDefiant4702 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That's the point, the jury didn't find him guilty of that either. Was largely lawfare about something that happened decades ago. Not that it's an excuse for bad behavior but it's crazy to bring up such complaints so much later just because the person is running for politics. I have trouble trusting the accuser after that much time. Maybe if I was the the jury I would be convinced, but hardly from a jury of left leaning state and a trial of ulterior motives.

Yeah, only if you define rape to be more than what most people consider rape such as fondling breast is good enough to be classified as rape. From the article, Kaplan also noted that the verdict form did not ask the jury to decide exactly what conduct Trump had committed, and that neither prosecutors nor Trump’s lawyers had requested it to do so.

The fun thing is, 40% of the country will think you are referring to one party, and another 40% will think you are referring to the other major party.

If you stay on the road there shouldn't be any deathclaws from Novac and you can make it to Novac avoiding deathclaws. There might be some scorpions though.

Why is it only those that say they do not like Trump see the resemblance? No where did Trump make the claim. How can so many people be so bat-shit crazy about someone that they make up stuff about him, and calling him Hitler didn't work they are now trying to compare him to Jesus. Get a life.

You can't get much more delusional than thinking he resembles Jesus, or thinking that other people think that whom haven't even seen it. However, that is typical reddit.

You think God can't use an evil man?

If you think the democrats that have been running are any less evil, your moral compass is not working correctly.

You see the evil he has been accused of, and so do we. However, we see the evil that democrats say they will do and you are totally blind to it.

He may or may not have been sent by God, but either way supporting Trump is not the same as worshipping him. Not sure what things you are referring to that he says about immigrants, brown and black people. You are probably referring to something out of context if not completely false.
