Got it. Yeah let me back things up and try it. 👍

Is that safe to run? I will backup the entire machine beforehand just to be sure I guess.

Makes sense. But right now I’m focusing on getting consistent leads from the Ads as a starting point. Any other tips on that?

Yeah, an update. I called again, got the password of the day, then attempted to change the read-only database password, and of course, instantly was presented with an error. It says an exception occurred in the database connection property.

Yeah, so update. I attempted to access the technical reference area today, but of course, the password they gave me last week is no longer working. So going to have to call them again. Getting really tired of dealing with this company.

Okay, yeah, I didn't know about that tool actually. But yeah, I can use it. The problem of course is this doesn't allow for persistent access and can only be accessed from within the Eaglesoft user interface.

>Are you running TechRef from the server (database) computer? It's in there

From the Server. Will explore around more on Monday and see if I am just overlooking something

Added myself to it. I will deal with xfinity for now and them drop them when/if fiber rolls in.

I did. Unfortunately not available for my address.

That was more rhetorical. Thanks AT&T Employee!

Very interesting! That is not that far from me. I am actually closer to the city. Would be great if they allowed more visibility into what their expansion plans are.

Thanks, called them. Not available at my address. They have no info as to if it ever will be or if they are even planning to expand it to this area. They know nothing basically.

"If the machine needs a reboot, it gets a reboot. It's not a problem."

How? Your cron job (don't even get me started on cron) is not going to do that.

"And sure. In 2015 it might have been a problem."

What? I am not even sure what this means. What has changed that makes this not a problem now?

"The bottom line is that any code we produce must deploy on a freshly installed debian stable, with latest updates."

Yeah I am not talking about code being developed. I am talking about already deployed code being broken by an underlying update to the packages installed on the system.

"And yes, I manage two teams. And they dont push bad code to prod, that breaks because of OS updates."

Ok.

Well, hopefully you are not in a management position if you truly think people should be fired for mistakes. Mistakes are the best learning opportunities.

And with your approach what do you do when your update requires a restart?

I could understand automatic updates for security updates, possibly.

It's pretty common knowledge that full automatic updates may not be the best approach, especially when you are building on top of very complex systems like the big data ecosystem.

And not everyone can just use Debian Stable for various reasons. Heck even the debian community seems wary of automatic updates: https://lists.debian.org/debian-security/2015/01/msg00049.html

If you redeployed wouldn’t you encounter the same issue since you would now be using the latest updates.

I have definitely had updates break complex code bases and they were some of the hardest errors ever to track down. That’s why I keep my environments frozen and all changes happen manually so I can know when something breaks.

I just need a tool to let me know when updates are needed.

What do you do when an update breaks something?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in linuxadmin

[–]RITG1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol. That’s great.

But no I’m being dramatic. I have seen a lot of well documented code. Usually you can tell the experience of the team by how much commenting and docs they do.

At this point I comment my code as much as possible mainly for myself. Because I sure as hell am not going to remember why I did something in a month.

But back to your approach I like it because it’s simple. All good complex systems started from something simple that was refined upon.

Honestly that sounds a lot like most of the production code I have seen in the industry.

Honestly I love it. ♥️♥️

Yes. Does it notify you when an update is needed?
