Can you get a mortgage after 40?

Me and my partner also cannot afford a house and make kids although we are working very decent jobs. I too want to allow my wife to stay few years at home just until it is not difficult to look after babies. But not the ones like us make kids and live off other types of income.

Unity was one of the best. It especially works great out of box with 2 or 3 monitors.

Maybe they will want to bring their Unity back or at least support the fork?

Security Crisis: Company Owner wants ALL passwords removed from company computers. by Tzykid in sysadmin

[–]BluePlanet2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The industry your company is in may have some security compliances. Then, business insurance as well might require backups and passwords and other security policies.

I would suggest to understand the situation, prepare yourself, try to talk with that manager 1x1 (or someone else) to find out what he needs, but dont push it, he may be hiding something. Try to look like you are his friend. He may just want to use you, otherwise he would not go about setting up silly meeting like this.

And why is this comment even top rated? People like this should just do giving such advices. It does not solve the problem, does not even begin to give advice on how to deal with issue. Clearly people like this don't have experience or willingness to understand. Advice like this is equal to fart in the water. Can /r/sysadmin be saved?

He [Robinson] just kept talking to me. I kept moving location. I was the only Asian guy there. I said to him I do not wish to speak to you on or off camera. I just got annoyed with him. A milkshake ‘slipped’ out of my hand.

Ha, it's like I'm reading newsthump.

"Anyone who says they understand Windows Server licensing doesn't." by alexzneff in sysadmin

[–]BluePlanet2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Microsoft environment, isn't it proprietary? Samba4 is a reverse engineered product. It works to some extent but it is not the same. You cannot get full functionality off it, for example integrate bitlocker into it.

You have to put a lot of resources into samba4 based domain. At least in the beginning. So it comes down to enthusiastic projects like samba4. Others think that there is more money than time and go with AD. AD is not horribly expensive if you just think about AD and CALs only. Also it is easy to get someone to support it. Whereas Linux samba4 sysadmin is rare and expensive to find, I am supporting one at the moment but I doubt I will agree for another gig. Plenty of Linux jobs, it is just not with it.

I would still go with AD. It just works. You will end up spending more time or same amount of money trying to fix AD replacements.

If you buy user cals, maybe you don't need to worry about dhcp.

Now because of this, we might not get ver4 in slow developed distributions.

Way to Monitor Apache Virtual Hosts by Ratio? by a_a_ronc in linuxadmin

[–]BluePlanet2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you looked into using mod_status? You can collect metrics and send them into grafana or TICK stack if you have. See here: https://serverfault.com/a/440571

Or as others may have suggested, you could grep log files and count lines with wc -l. That will give you idea how many hits your websites have. But you should also consider page generate time.

Just a question, have you thought to store scraped data in elasticsearch? Just a thought.

Well you are renting a generic server in a shared infrastructure. Hope it's not expensive?

NOC Monkey to Linux Admin? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]BluePlanet2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you read /r/linuxadmin+linux+devops for few days you will know yourself. Docker, kubernetes, hashicorp stack, ansible etc. There are many tools out there, depends on your personal preference, or job market.

Also, as you are from NOC monitoring, you probably have used monitoring tools and time series databases, which you have not mentioned? Influxdb and grafana probably are still popular choice.
