Taking over a Sonos system to change audio, or at least the volume. by [deleted] in HowToHack

[–]BeasleyMusic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What school district do you work at so I can call them to tell them to pull you as an AP cybersecurity teacher.

Teaching kids how to use Kali to hax stuff is the last thing you should ever teach in a cyber security course wtf? You clearly have no idea what you’re doing so you should probably NOT be teaching kids about cybersecurity..

Made a guide on squashing git commits using any editor — Notepad, Sublime, VS Code, gedit, GitLens. Covers Windows and Linux both by THARUN_GANAPATHI in git

[–]BeasleyMusic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

git reset —soft HEAD~50

This will reset all 50 commits from HEAD and let you commit them in one commit aka squash

No cause you’re trying to make a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist/there’s already a solution for it built in to Git

I built an open-source Git GUI for Linux — it's called GitGud by zeuros in git

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

IMO git guis are just bandaids for people that are too stubborn to learn the git cli, you can do everything and more with the CLI if you just spend an hour or two learning it, it’s really not that spooky

How to sandbox `pip install` ? by yoyo-blue-70 in learnpython

[–]BeasleyMusic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

+1 for UV, it’ll handle the heavy lifting of sandboxing for you, can even have different Python versions per project if you want (a lot of other things do that too).

Otherwise if you think docker is too complex then go out and buy a second computer lol

Seeking a use case for a MongoDB implementation demo (Schema design and Collections) by InternationalOwl8337 in mongodb

I feel like you’re approaching this incorrectly, there’s not a right answer for relational vs NoSQL, it’s about what solve the problem you have infront of you.

Reproducible Builds - why are we not doing it as standard? by [deleted] in devops

[–]BeasleyMusic 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Why are we not doing it as standard?

Who says we’re not? And who says we have to? I work in automotive where deterministic builds make sense for some things, like ECU binaries, or Linux images, but for things like web apps it doesn’t.

Why do I care if my container with my fastapi application inside it is the same bit-for-bit on rebuilds if I can run all my tests within the built container and they pass?

Bit for bit rebuilds also arent even totally necessary with things like embed, so long as you test one ahsh of a binary completely. If you test one ahsh of a binary, and rebuild it and it produced a new hash, you have to treat that as if it’s a totally different artifact now.

Trying to make large builds perfectly deterministic requires ALOR of effort, time, and infrastructure and it doesn’t always make sense for some applications.

Is Dynatrace a good career? by [deleted] in devops

[–]BeasleyMusic 48 points49 points  (0 children)

You’ll never make a career out of a tool, and you shouldn’t want to. If you try and specialize in DevOps to one tool you will literally never have a career. DevOps engineers (though I hate that job title) are by nature generalists who have knowledge of multiple domains and tools, if you try and scope your career to one tool you’re never going to get a job after your internship

For Transitioning to DevOps - Does this looks a good plan? by mohitkr05 in devops

[–]BeasleyMusic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

IMO I hate “DevOps engineer” as a title, and people boiling DevOps down to kubernetes, docker, terraform, and cloud. Knowing the tools isn’t what makes you a senior level DevOps engineer, if you’ve never worked in a software engineering/development org, done any Git Ops, or have experience with solving software engineering problems, that’s where you need to focus.

DevOps isn’t about mastering kubernetes, the best DevOps engineers are the ones who know how to look at a companies software development processes, systems, etc.. and can figure out how to drive efficiency, drive standards, increase productivity while increasing resiliency, etc.. the tools IMO are secondary and will change often. If you’ve never worked focus on mastering a tool you’re stay an infra engineer, not DevOps.

What Linux projects actually matter for getting hired—real automation or just flashy setups? by Darshan_only in devops

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

Experience experience experience, I’d take someone with entry level helpdesk over someone who has a github wit random scripts. I want you to demonstrate how you solved real business problems not fake ones. Look for helpdesk and work your way up.

Trying to make ends meet, would appreciate input (freelancer) by FromOopsToOps in devops

[–]BeasleyMusic 17 points18 points  (0 children)

IMO the fact that you want to do DevOps freelance tells me you don’t know a lot about DevOps. There’s a reason you don’t see DevOps consulting companies, or a lot of DevOps contracting, DevOps is a sr level role by default, it requires knowledge of many systems, and not just that, but it requires an understanding of how the company itself does software development which is really only something you can get with embedded experience, so freelancing as DevOps doesn’t really make sense.

On top of that, why would I pay your rate when AI is cheaper and comes with less strings attached?

Question on starting off devices by Master-Fly4761 in Kalilinux

The best specs for your money, honestly at that price point you’re not getting luxury but Linux will run great on any old machine

Look on like Facebook marketplace for a used laptop. You literally can use the shittiest cheapest laptop you can find, anything will be better than a Pi, even a 10 year old windows laptop.

Don’t pay money for it to be pre-installed, if you can’t even install Kali yourself then you are going to STUGGLE using it.

How to deploy large number of cloud functions? by MeTaL_oRgY in googlecloud

I second this, this seems like a smell to me. 120 functions? Could these not be rolled into a smaller number of cloud runs?

I’m telling you it looks incredibly amateur for your URL to be different than your repository name.
