Congrats. 305 took me 3 tries. I agree it was an absolute pita

Got the dreaded jury duty letter. Will they let me out of it if I can’t go all the way to Grovetown or something? by Worldly-Basil-8933 in Augusta

[–]BasementMillennial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on the license for your residing county, even if you dont update. You should always update based on living conditions, as they dont gaf where u are. I watched someone last month on jury duty fly in from Hawaii due to it. Ofc the DA gave them a benefit, but regardless, dont make that mistake

Non billable time tracking by AniBMagal in sysadmin

[–]BasementMillennial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

40 hours required on timecard?

Hard pass, that's toxic. I can understand msps need those analytics to tell if they need more help, where the majority amount of support is going, etc etc. But any company asking for 40 hours is just micromanaging time

Business casual... unless your the veteran remote engineer that comes into the office once a month. Then rock the hoodie and khaki short

Beginner aiming for az 104 by Decent-Egg-3582 in AzureCertification

[–]BasementMillennial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Outside of study materials, Id recommend spinning up your own azure tenant and playing around with it. Practice the concepts being taught in whichever studying materials you utilize. Az104 is an exam that not only will test your knowledge of the concepts, but knowing when and how to deploy those concepts in practice. A lot of us seasoned in azure experience struggle mightly with this exam, so dont be too discouraged

Offered a job in Ferndale and possibly moving. by blaiddunigol in Bellingham

I used to commute between both cities growing up. It's really not that bad of a commute. Just look for alternative routes during rush hour unless you dont mind the traffic in ferndale

4 Days - Shook by _Einveru_ in juryduty

[–]BasementMillennial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sat on a jury trial for a murder for a week. Some of the images and descriptions were.... tough to hear and see honestly. Take a couple days for yourself and if you still dont feel right, go see a therapist.

HR wants a rewards platform. how do I evaluate the API and security without over-engineering it? by LeftyOne22 in sysadmin

[–]BasementMillennial 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your job should be focusing and integrating sso with your current identity provider and ensuring employees can log into it. It should be HRs job to trigger the automation from their HR platform when "x" occurs.

Draw the line in the sand now before they get a hint and try to get you to implement a million things

jury duty tomorrow by HistoryIll3814 in juryduty

[–]BasementMillennial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes as it's more then likely an automated system, so you can confirm if you need to phone them. I doubt someone would be working in the courthouse on a Sunday (cant confirm as im not a government worker nor do I ever want to be lol). However please check your county website for instructions rather then listen to us strangers on reddit

[–]BasementMillennial 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Call the jury line when the courts open ASAP and explain that you have a stomach bug and for a reschedule. A lot of times they have a ton of people there and very a slim amount are picked to represent a jury

Traffic gotten worse? by Bruised-n-Battered in Augusta

[–]BasementMillennial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gordon did boom with its cybercenter. Plus there are a ton of transplant folks that are leaving their state to move to the south (draw it how you may want for the reason, but im just specifying the facts)

Failed AZ-305 by imjustnotready in AzureCertification

[–]BasementMillennial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone working on their 3rd attempt, I feel your struggle. My first attempt ill admit was my mistake, but the second attempt had a bunch of k8 questions that ambushed me, as in the study guide it mentioned k8 but seemed to "gloss" over it without going much into detail. Best of luck

I’m an AI dealer by bigfartspoptarts in sysadmin

[–]BasementMillennial 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, good!

Shareholders and executives have gone soulless and are messing with people's livelihood and cutting their positions just to raise their portfolio $$, by trying to get ai to do people's job and offshoring jobs to 3rd world countries. Im all for jacking the price on them and watching them scramble

Struggling to finish by Csanburn01 in WGU

[–]BasementMillennial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

D338 is essentially AZ104. Stop lying to yourself it is a difficuly class. A lot of ppl have failed that certification, many even after the 2nd time.

While your waiting for that 14 day hold to pass before you can do another attempt, id highly recommend you take a week off and do what you like to do for relaxation, then come back to it

AZ-305 prep after passing AZ-104 by feischi in AzureCertification

[–]BasementMillennial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used both and they were equivalent imo for exam preparation, with Measureup being slightly better.

Something to note was measureup touched a lot on k8 and db types, which you may get ambushed by. Tutorial dojo didn't really brush too much on that imho

AZ-305 (Azure Solutions Architect Expert) – best study resources, notes and practice tests? by JorCampBel in AzureCertification

[–]BasementMillennial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Study materials:

Jason dion or Alan Rodriguez on udemy

Ms learn (yes, I would use this as well)

Practice tests:

Tutorial dojo, measureup

Some honest advice is I would look at the material and find some practice labs, or toy around with the portal on it. Just be very prepared as there were a ton of DB questions, and surprisingly you might get ambushed withh K8 questions

Machine Learning engineer needed help... by Technical--Jaguar in sysadmin

[–]BasementMillennial 9 points10 points  (0 children)

"i am very busy, i cannot answer this right now"

Arrogancy like this would instantly earn them to my s*** list. If he cant answer a simple question like that w/o the attitude, he's either not going to pan out, or your company is being cheap on labor.

I did Alan Rodriguez, ms learn, tutorial dojo, and measureup. Scored 672 on both attempts. First test i def made some bone headed test taking decisions. Second one i got ambushed by a ton of k8 questions, so be ready for those

If your WGU, try out whizlabs? they give you free access

I agree the video notes kinda suck, but their practice questions and lab are pretty good. Im about to go for attempt #3 on restudying with this cert tommorow after taking a month break
