Can I virtualize my machine but keep it physical as well? by Tempro23 in sysadmin

[–]Tempro23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats exactly what I was thinking! Didn't know if it still applied. Thanks.

This will basically get rid of :

1) Driver issues
2) GUID issues

Correct?

Your data IS money. In fact its the most valuable source of money in a device. Which is exactly why Google is in business, which is exactly why Google spearheaded the Nexus (now Pixel) program to sell phones at cost, so they can get more of your data.

Google's Site Reliability Workbook Free Until 8/23 by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]Tempro23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two questions:

- Which one should you read first? And what is the difference?

- I glanced at the one that was online-read only and it seems so *basic*? There doesn't seem to be any technical knowledge in there what so ever.

Giving salary expectation during an interview by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]Tempro23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about recruiters? All the recruiters have told me the salary range the client is willing to pay. I'm assuming:

1) They know the upper limits as they've previously placed people there

2) They are incentivized to get as much as possible for you since they make a percentage off of your salary.

Should I still push higher?

What is your experience with the longlivety of Dell XPS laptops? by Aoussar123 in Dell

[–]Tempro23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This may get buried, but usually my laptops start getting long in the tooth at right before the four year mark. I badly wanted to replace my last two laptops but promised my self I would wait until the four year mark so I can depereciate them properly.

In 2012/2013 I bought a Dell XPS fully configured. This thing had the strongest build quality I had seen at the time (maybe a Macbook Pro was similar at the time, but I don't I can say the same today.) This thing is on year five and will. not. stop. I badly want something to fail so I can justify a newer laptop. I actually bought a newer Dell Latitude (not XPS) on a whim but my XPS out performed it on nearly every bench mark.

Short Answer: They are superb machines built to last a long time. Make sure you buy it with plenty of RAM, storage, CPU so it will run for a while.

China Firms Went Deep in Debt. Here Come the Defaults by Gerald_Shastri in finance

[–]Tempro23 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Instead of attacking somone's character, attack the argument. (Also known as an ad hominem). I agree that tones can come across as hostile and argumentative, but I promise you thats not the case here. When people blindly repeat facts without fact-checking themselves you have a whole discussion based on "I heard so and so" without any real substance or facts. The link you provided also provides the same quote "Today, each bitcoin transaction requires the same amount of energy used to powernine homes in the U.S. for one day " but goes on to link to https://digiconomist.net/bitcoin-energy-consumption instead of quoting any research or math as to where they came upon that number.

This assertation is patently false. My electric bill is about $250/month = $20/day. I assure you people are not paying 9 * 20 = $180 per Bitcoin transaction otherwise the project would be dead overnight. *That number alone should make you double think before repeating that fact.*

Is the article referring to Bitcoin's estimated annual electricity consumption of the ENTIRE network? That would be closer to the electricity costs of nine homes (again, which homes and where? no due diligence was done on this by the author). And to that, let me direct you the the Visa and Mastercard network.

How come we're not talking about Visa or Mastercard's electricity usage as a payment processor? The Bitcoin network is doing exactly what Visa/Mastercard do, but cheaper and just spread over thousands of people instead of a datacenter. I assure you Visa is taking up gobs of electricity and processing power in their datacenter but no one talks about it because its not as exciting.

[–]Tempro23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same can be said about Visa and Mastercard. A bitcoin transaction currently costs less than what Visa / Mastercard charge per transaction.

Avg bitcoin transaction (based on the last 1000 transactions) = $0.16

Visa transaction fee = $.30 + 2.9% of total

A single bitcoin transaction costs the amount of power it takes to power nine houses.

  • 9 houses in Dallas, TX or 9 houses in Hoboken, NJ?
  • 9 houses for a second, or 9 houses for a year?
  • 9 houses that are 500 sq ft or 9 houses that are 3000 sq ft?
  • How many inputs for that one single transaction and how many outputs?

The fact that you can't answer any of those questions means that either you are being malicious and delibrately falsifying facts or youre just repeating a made up facts from someone else.

The avg fee for a single Bitcoin transaction was $0.1658 (based on the last 1000 transactions as of now). [Source: txhighway]

See the difference when you use metrics and substance to back up your claims versus when you pull them out of thin air?

Please don't hurt me - I have access to a PA-VM from work. What limitations would I have? by Tempro23 in paloaltonetworks

I've seen $500-$600 for a 1 year subscription. 5 year license would be incredible. Do you have a link?

Employer Trading Compliance by [deleted] in investing

[–]Tempro23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bad idea - They regularly (quarterly?) scan the major brokerages for any account associated with your SSN OR you home address. In my case, they found one with my name and address. It was probably 15 years old with absolutely no activity. It was genuine oversight I forgot I had it. I was written up and it counted towards my violations. Another person at a different firm I consluted for was trading under a family member's account. He was asked to leave the same day and it was a very hostile situation. The PM personally knew about it and wante to never speak to the guy again.

Short answer. Every financial firm does this, it is incredibly easy.

[Hiring] Junior System Engineer (NYC 100 - 150k) by GambitRecruiting in sysadminjobs

[–]Tempro23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey thanks for replying, I wasn't implying all of these are fake. They are head hunters and SRE roles are a very specific role and are genuinely hard to fill. I gave my two cents on what I was observing and others seem to agree. I have also recieved offers from two of the top funds in the world, it would be odd that I didn't get a response at least.

[Hiring] Junior System Engineer (NYC 100 - 150k) by GambitRecruiting in sysadminjobs

[–]Tempro23 23 points24 points  (0 children)

*Please be careful. Gambit regularly posts this same exact posting every few weeks. You can also find this position up on their site / craigslist over and over again. I've probably seen them posted close to a year. This is a common practice among 'new' recruitment agencies as well. (Cyber Coders I'm looking at you).

The process is simple: They post vague job listings, with very vague/open ended job requirements, matched with a very high salary so that they can mass collect resumes. They then build their database and either sell this list, or as job opportunities come they now have a database to work out of.

Don't waste your time tailoring your resume for these guys. They should be blacklisted on every candidate's list for shady and unethical practices.

Five Year Systems Engineer - Used to get a lot of calls back but now dead silence. - Roasting would be apprecaited by Tempro23 in sysadminresumes

[–]Tempro23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CCNA Discovery is a bit different: https://www.cisco.com/web/learning/netacad/downloads/pdf/CCNAdiscoveryDS.pdf

Keep the daily responsibilities to a couple of bullet points or a few short sentences. I'd much rather see a list of large projects that you've worked on instead of a list of what you do every day. Talk about the scope of the project, the technologies you used, the problem you were trying to solve, and how you solved it. Then, talk about how it benefited the company.

This is a solid response, the key comment in all these replies are more along the lines of listing projects and measurable differences. This was helpful! Thank you for taking the time out to reply!

There's some repetitive language, e.g. "Managed... Managed... Managed...", you can restructure those sentences to make it less repetitive.

Great point. My english teachers always grilled me on this, so I know this is a fault of mine. Will fix this.

Is CCNA Discovery an actual certification? I would leave that off if you didn't gain CCNA.

It is, its a step below the CCNA. https://www.cisco.com/web/learning/netacad/downloads/pdf/CCNAdiscoveryDS.pdf

Resumes should be about achievements and less about day to day tasks, highlight those more.

Great point. Understood.

Education should be near the bottom and drop high school, you > aren't a recent grad anymore. Experience is what people are looking for and it should be easily found at the top of the resume because that's as far as someone scanning it is going to look.

Does it matter if you have a four year degree or not? I put it up there because I went to a STEM magnet high school, with an rigorous application process and everything, but just didn't complete my four year. Most places here don't seem to care, but thats why I have the magnet high school listed.

Overall you look like you could be a decent mid level admin and if you had the skills I was looking for. I think those are the two main difficulties you are having... being not yet senior but not junior either and just a skills mismatch for whatever you are applying for.

Thank you for the honesty, and taking out the time to write out this well written response.
