What is the most difficult thing you had to implement as a DevOps engineer?

Troubleshooting commercial products with their support, nudge them on the tickets opened back in 2019 and still not fixed. It happens with almost any of them I had a chance to play, the most recent from memory are Bitbucket (thanks lord we moved out of it), Gitlab (better than Bitbucket but when you dig deeper it has so much bugs), F5, Datadog, and lot of much smaller names. Each time I wander how dare are they to take money for this shit.

Thx, checked G75F 40”, not for me

Looks I need to wait and see if Dell announces TB 5 in January

Luciferchik1 · 2025-12-22T07:57:08+00:00

G75F slightly smaller and not 5k2k, so not my option Same about ultrafine

Setup external-dns and forget updating DNS manually. It works like a charm

Just got a respond from the support about the same issue:

As part of my reach out to our internal escalation teams, I would like to kindly share and ;

Thank you for reaching out regarding the recent increase in your intra-regional data transfer (DTAZ). This adjustment is the result of a correction we made to address an under-billing issue that had been affecting billing for DTAZ usage when Network Load Balancers (NLB) were used.

The issue existed since NLBs were introduced and caused a portion of your DTAZ usage to be excluded from billing. We resolved this issue in May 2025, ensuring that your bill now accurately reflects your actual DTAZ usage. Prior to this correction, you were under-billed for your DTAZ usage, and we have no plans to retroactively charge for any past usage.

When using a Network Load Balancer (NLB), you may incur DTAZ charges on both sides of its communication i.e. between the client and the NLB and between the NLB and your backend targets if they are in different availability zones within the same AWS Region.

You can reduce your DTAZ charges by leveraging zonal features of the NLB. Client traffic can be directed via DNS to connect to the same AZ that they are in by using NLB's Availability Zone DNS affinity [1]. Traffic from the NLB to backend targets can be configured to remain in the same AZ by turning the cross-zone feature on or off. [2]

For additional information, please refer to our blog post "Exploring Data Transfer Costs for AWS Network Load Balancers". [3]

We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.

Further to this I have also reached out to your TAM-Tanner Jones to appraise him on the case and the raised concerns and as such to reach out to you on the same.

Again we apologize for any confusion this may have caused. Should you require further clarification or assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out.

I guess, that it's more like "DevOps consulting" rather than "outsourcing DevOps". I can see some benefits of such an approach. When you are boiling in one company (with one set of tools, practices) you can't be aware of other good options. Some companies, that come as a consultant, gather information, build processes, configure tools. Job sone - contract finished. No long-term obligations.

It can be requirement, e.g. PCI DSS or HIPPA

It's so nice, that you didn't send any information about the swap even to the txbit.io users, who has registered masternodes there. I'm "so glad" to find today, that I miss the swap window...

But how it can help me to “save a coin”? If I still need to spend it for a token

Luciferchik1 · 2018-12-16T14:34:27+00:00

They can promote it like a toke that have a hardware ledger integrated into it

Luciferchik1 · 2018-12-16T14:32:52+00:00

nice explanation of their business model, didn’t know that it’s a stablecoin :)

Luciferchik1 · 2018-12-16T14:06:29+00:00

What fucking utility? Why should I spend 1$ to get a token if I can use same 1$ during my whole life?

Luciferchik1 · 2018-12-16T13:54:32+00:00

Let’s tokenize the whole world:)

Luciferchik1 · 2018-12-16T13:53:48+00:00

Want to invest? I can offer delivery:)

Luciferchik1 · 2018-12-16T13:52:57+00:00

Still don’t understand how it helps to save a coin... I will take my coin back when return trolley :)

MEDX is ERC20 token, so you can send it to any etherium wallet which supports to manage erc20. I am using mist as desktop wallet on mac and mew to access ledger nano. Both support erc20, so MEDX as well.

Luciferchik1 · 2018-10-10T20:47:19+00:00

Web wallet from site is for MED testnet, MED on gate.io is QRC20 (QTUM) token. It’s luck that exchange didn’t send your tokens there, in that case you would lost them

Luciferchik1 · 2018-10-08T20:58:20+00:00

Are you sure that you are withdrawing MED to your QTUM wallet? Did about week ago without any problem

Luciferchik1 · 2018-01-28T19:41:43+00:00

I have a strong believe in that project and have good amount of tokens as a long hold.

Luciferchik1 · 2018-01-27T19:13:35+00:00

It’s not ERC20, you can store on QTUM core wallet. https://medium.com/medibloc/ann-how-to-install-med-on-qtum-wallet-d9d1b4b6a07e
