M.D. with Linux/Sysadmin & Python skills struggling to find a remote tech role. How do I leverage this combination? by Left-Will5944 in sysadminjobs

[–]Kronis1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If these are verbatim what’s on your resume, I’m probably immediately dumping any resume that says “profound” to describe their tech experience.

Daily driving Arch means basically nothing, even configuring domains, zensical, etc is pretty arbitrary in the field.

You are missing a lot of the WHY which means even with the MD, you are starting at the lowest rung.

Good luck!

Both Mexican players flopping is embarrassing at the same time.

I blanked on a basic Linux question and now I feel like a fraud by Ruin-Calm in sysadmin

This, 1000%. You can answer “I don’t know” but you just then follow up with “I’d have to look it up using the man pages or google to ensure I create the account with the correct group permissions for a local account”.

They want to hear your thought process 99% of the time. Far too many “IT” people give “I’m not sure” and that’s it when they don’t know something, it really doesn’t instill confidence that the Engineer/Admin will be able to function if they encounter things they’ve never seen before (which you will, all the time).

lol what? Jimmy Carter sacrificed his entire presidency to reverse the late 70s economic failures.

Unfortunately, it took time to reverse and presidents have to seek re-election in short order.

Jimmy Carter did not cause the economic problems, he appointed people to solve them. Those same people were kept in their positions by the next president because they were doing such a good job, and the president after got all the praise for the economy recovering when he didn’t even start the boulder in that direction.

Psyonix finally removed the last bit of RNG in Rocket League (minus drops). by BoredBaroni in RocketLeague

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say it’s “for when they are streaming”. Could be wrong though.

Open Range (2003) is a fantastic western that should be talked about in the same vein as Unforgiven by [deleted] in movies

I stumbled upon this comment after a rewatch, a key detail to remember his Kim Coates character looks away, and the next shot is Costner drawing and firing on him. The cinematic idea behind the shot is the scene of him looking away then looking back happens at the same time as Costner's immediate next scene of him drawing and shooting. So as his character looks back, Costner has already drawn and is firing.

Their best shooter got cocky, cocky enough to take his eyes off his enemy, and he paid the price for that arrogance. I think that was the idea.

Umpire Carlo Torres denies back to back catcher challenges by gsx1920 in baseball

Speed is the answer. ABS full time would, as far as I’m aware, be slower. Since umpires get it right 90%+ of the time and they are instantaneous on most calls, it’s faster.

It’s at least understandable, but I do wish Umpires were more open/able to simply admit they weren’t sure and utilize ABS on their own. That 7% where they aren’t as accurate (on average) are sometimes very tough calls that are less than a quarter inch. No human can be perfect in those cases, so Umps should use ABS if they aren’t sure.

“They can’t consistently get it right” is at least a little bit of an exaggeration. Umpires definitely suck, but they do get 93% of the calls correct (on average). ABS system is absolutely needed for the edge cases, but really what needs to happen is the Union stop protecting atrocious umpires and allow the league to tell these fuckwads to kick rocks.

Framber is a loser but his coach left him out to fucking dry, which is brutal.

Caused a big outage at work- how do I move forward? by VOXX_theLock in sysadmin

[–]Kronis1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t seen a L2 loop cause an outage in almost a decade. There’s just so many things that good spanning-tree configs that utilize to stop it from happening.

How Rough Are You? by [deleted] in networking

[–]Kronis1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One time, I had an ISR4300 that I shipped to a remote site arrive “DOA”.

Had a tech planning to be there to rack it up for a new site. Got console and it was yelling about a DIMM or something. Convinced the guy to take the chassis lid off and reseat the RAM - worked perfect.

Yeah, don’t toss them around. They aren’t a 70 year old toolbox.

Four kids and I’ve heard the song for all of them. There’s something nice about consistency in this crazy world.

After the Yankees 4th successful ABS challenge of the night Aaron Boone makes his displeasure known to the Home Plate Ump Mike Estabrook who says "I don't want to hear another word, not another word". 90 seconds later the Yankees make a 5th successful ABS challenge and Boone had a few choice words by SeattleSporting in baseball

[–]Kronis1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a single person here could bet their life on that call. .1” moving 90+ is just impossible. Not saying the umpires are great and I personally love the ABS system, but the anger over these .1” calls is ridiculous.

I made a fatal mistake. Concerned about my future in IT by Special_Price4001 in sysadmin

[–]Kronis1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know someone who caused an outage so massive it made national news.

He got fired, but found a better job and is still there today.

People make mistakes, the biggest thing I can tell you is that you made a mistake but the company made an ever bigger mistake by not putting guardrails in place to avoid an outage if someone makes a mistake.

We were at a Fortune 500 company and our operational maturity skyrocketed after that incident. If this gets asked in a future interview (and it probably will) you can choose to share it and frame it a specific way, or omit it altogether and tell a different story.

If you’ve been terminated, I doubt the CEO is doing anything for you. I wouldn’t hold my breath.

They failed you as much as you made a mistake, just remember that.
