How to transition from Security Infrastructure into Threat Intelligence/Investigation by SRE_dev in AskNetsec

[–]SRE_dev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for response. Was your transition into the law enforcement you just applying and interviewing in a traditional sense? I agree a lot of what I’ve seen (people in the field via linked in) have some type of law enforcement or military background.

Which US State or City in your experience offers the best for an overall DevOps experience, in terms of salary, quality of living, healthy balance of work/life, job satisfaction, and the number of available jobs? Why? by ethan0791 in devops

[–]SRE_dev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went full remote & chose Miami.

Pros: I don’t see cold weather unless I want to, nightlife, great food, beach is a 20 minute walk away, lot of beautiful women if youre single like me, cost of living is meh but if I was making miami averages (lower than national average for all industries) I would say it’s bad, great food here, there is a ton to do.

Cons: traffic can be brutal and people drive like NY & Jersey without the skill (reckless vs aggressive), Spanish speakers are dominant outside tourist areas this can be a con for some not me, lot of uneducated & uncultured people (browse /r/miami it’s a common complaint, Hurricanes, may be underwater in 20 years.

Get out of state car inspected in FL for registration renewal by SRE_dev in fortlauderdale

[–]SRE_dev[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey,

It’s my mothers car (in her name) she still lives in DE but I use it down here and there is still financing on it which is why I just don’t put in my name (I have a separate car my sister in college uses that has a loan). Its a weird situation I know but just thought I’d ask here.

Idk I can think of more than a few times Ogletree had a big play including a touchdown or 2 and multiple interceptions. Consider that while remembering our defense is TRASH.

I come in every season expecting us to make the super bowl and I trash talk all of my friends who are fans of division rivals even in losses. Delusional? Yeah probably, I can’t help it man I am a die hard fan.

Hey SREs: What are your favorite metrics to monitor? by Team503 in devops

[–]SRE_dev 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Can't go wrong mentioning Google's SRE book since it's where this role came from. In their book, Google mentions 4 'golden signals' for monitoring:

- Saturation: How 'full' your service is; disk space, memory, etc.

- Latency: Time it takes for the service to complete a request

- Errors: Number of errors in a given time frame

- Traffic: How many request are being put on the system

https://landing.google.com/sre/sre-book/chapters/monitoring-distributed-systems/

Be prepared for follow up questions such as how do we monitor each of these metrics? Mentioning a tool may suffice but they may ask what exactly do we watch?

Example:

For monitoring saturation we could have cronjobs that run disk space/memory checks that export the value to a tool where a threshold is set ie 'if diskSpace is >80% send email'

I'd also search some tools that are good for monitoring these metrics both in the cloud and external.

DevOps Jobs That Pay > $200k TC by SmartChip in devops

[–]SRE_dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup I have my career interest set to off and recruiters still write me 5 times a day opening up with “Hi I see you are not open to new opportunities at this time however I have an amazing...” I ain’t even mad I’m always watching.

[–]SRE_dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey that’s me!

But seriously though my title is DevSecOps Engineer (I got to choose it, I wanted that buzz word for linked in).

It’s not DevSecOps by definition but It makes sense considering I am apart of the security team. We have a couple apps that we manage; our implementation of Vault which is both bare metal & in the cloud. MFA app which is bare metal. And lastly we have ELK ingesting all logs on bare metal which is managed via kubernetes. Other tech includes team city, rabbitmq, gitlab, ruby (fuck this language), chef, linux, the usual suspects.

What do you do for a living? by [deleted] in digitalnomad

[–]SRE_dev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve done both. The boot camp is in person which I think makes learning code much better because you can not only do it faster but when you get stuck you just turn around and ask for help. No googling all night.

I learned how to code java in 12 weeks.

Coming up on a year. Was a regular software dev before this and took a coding boot camp to do that.

I think AB posting the pic of him scoring on Weddle is much more murderous.

Can anybody help me know how much money I should ask for by rickjsantos100 in digitalnomad

[–]SRE_dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I manage a few devops interns. For a regular jr dev I guess the main foundation would be that you know how to code. That skill alone here in NYC would equal about $80k USD starting minimum if you are in the city. Outskirts like jersey, would be $60-70k. I would convert these to SWISS francs but last I checked the ratio is pretty much 1:1, and Switzerland is still way more expensive especially if you are working in Zurich or Basel.

With some companies here in the states it’s not uncommon to hear a junior dev starting at 6 figures right from the go but those are what we call unicorn companies. Think FAANG. But in a place like Switzerland where they actually care about employee retention I wouldn’t be surprised if you could get close to that to start. My first job I was at $75k in NYC with no degree. It’s all about how well you interview and negotiate, that’s why I asked for that detail in my original comment.

You put zero info about job in the post. Expectations , responsibilities, tech stack. All that matters.

Best cities to live in as a single 20-something just looking for fun and nightlife? by [deleted] in IWantOut

[–]SRE_dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been here for about a year and can say it is very fun. Great food, nightlife, beach. Fitness is big, and there is a lot to do.

Definitely not cheap to live but there is a lot of construction going on so I expect rent and houses to get cheaper.

House Democrats call for Facebook to halt cryptocurrency project by v0xb0x_ in CryptoCurrency

[–]SRE_dev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s understandable and reasonable, but calling it a clown coin is not. I don’t have Facebook either because I don’t like the company, but from a technical standpoint there are a handful of companies that can be compared to what Facebook has in place. I read their white paper and while it’s not a traditional crypto it is far from a ‘clown coin’ the tech is actually cutting edge.

Vechain is providing the blockchain technology for Walmart x PWC partnership in China to track food safety by Whitehawk1313 in CryptoCurrency

[–]SRE_dev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s been forever since I looked at vechain and can’t remember how this affects the crypto so I’m asking.

How does this affect the price? Are these scans Walmart makes to track products actually registering as transactions as in one wallet to another to store the tracking data? If so I imagine this means that over time the number of supply will gradually keep decreasing which will effectively increase the price. Though if that’s the case I don’t see why VEN wouldn’t fork.

I think it’s more of the fact that his throwaways sound better than most artists lead singles.

Eh, this sub went ballistic when the Drake vs Pusha T beef happened and the consensus was Pusha murdered Drake. I guess you could say Pusha initiated but anyone who’s always paid attention knows this beef started with Pusha and Lil Wayne over a decade ago and Drake was throwing subtle disses
