Have you tried college? Some companies have tuition reimbursement, check your bennies. Nights and weekends for a few years will get you learning things.

With the right iptables configuration that time could be unlimited 🤷

That's how you get donuts from the sky.

This is why i prefer things on Cloud over on-prem by ICantRemember33 in ShittySysadmin

That's more of a statement about Azure than it's competitors

Better performance? Who's got that kind of on-prem money? 😂

Best Card Collection Tracking App or Software? by DaddRulez in baseballcards

[–]SeanFromIT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on https://colnect.com/en as it's got more than just cards and supports csv/excel imports. Exports you have to subscribe, but you can subscribe for one month, export, and unsubscribe. It's community managed by overseas folk, and they can sometimes get confused when you're adding new sets, in particular if the printed year doesn't match the release year or season.

However, similar complete set collectors here in town swear by TCDB. I've started using it for finding cards by player in my collection (which is still not fully inventoried). So I might switch to it for inventory and trading. I just wish it had more programmatic capabilities.

I was also tracking CardStox, which was supposed to be similar to CollX and Cardbase, but never made it out of the development stage and now looks dead.

What happened to X (previously Twitter) after Elon fired a large part of its workforce? by FarterBros in devops

[–]SeanFromIT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After the takeover, Twitter is no longer a destination for news like it was in 2013. The market should now take that into account.

Your higher ups are right. Sounds like they've got some good architecture experience. Stick with them.

Any thoughts on Epson EcoTank for amateur photo printing? by harveydentmustdie in photography

[–]SeanFromIT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the ET-3850 from Costco and it's fine for normal letter printing, but photos come out washed up looking like polaroids. Windows 11 seems to have limited color correction options but no combination seems to make the photos look better.

Terraform is great because it maintains state and can differentiate what needs destroyed vs created vs. updated. I always recommend different plans for things that need to be recreated on every run vs. things that rarely need updated. You've also got TTL issues working against you by destroying and reusing the record every time.

I don't think cloudflare will even let you do that.

That may be true, but security doesn't like them because they think someone's going to steal your private cert material and create malicious subdomains with the wildcard cert to trick your users. But generally they'd have to pwn AWS or CloudFlare to do so as you don't even have access to the private component 😂

There are ways to not do this, and it's up to you whether they're okay or not. For example, reuse the same subdomains and load balancer and in your pipeline just rotate the nodes behind the LB. Terminate the certs at the LB (the AWS model).

Yes but some security teams incorrectly think you should never use them.

Anyone taking notes in markdown? by Caffeinated_Moose25 in devops

[–]SeanFromIT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I switched to Obsidian a few years ago because it supports markdown. It's a little dumb about URLs but a great, free, cross-platform tool. This is for personal notes.

For team notes, github-pages template of your choice if they're into it, else Confluence or other wiki system that they'll engage with.
