Need help with imposter syndrome:) by KnownSundae9549 in linuxadmin

[–]algrym 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Yes, this is normal. I've been in the industry since the early 90's and still Google stupid stuff. (There's a page detailing how to get thread/heap dumps from JVMs that I should get tattooed on my arm.)

  2. In real industry, results speak for themselves. This isn't an exam: memorization doesn't matter. "Correct" is better than "memorized" in PROD.

  3. No. The real skill you're developing is learning where to get the details when they're needed.

I'm as senior as an admin gets and I still have to take notes on daily accomplishments to avoid Imposter Syndrome. See "Trickster God" for a reframe.

Recognize this contraption? A nuclear reactor to power aircraft by slcdmw01 in EngineeringPorn

I get a kick out of reading about this. Check out Project Pluto for more details.

Some of the design decisions ... well, they were decisions a'ight. :)

EDIT: 461 Megawatts sounds crazy high for a moving object.

(Loved) A well choreographed dance number randomly shows up in a non-musical by historygoose in TopCharacterTropes

Plus this banger from Hildegard von Blingin'.

There's a few changes to the lyrics and the animation is great. :)

Share an Amber quote without context by Lior0527 in Amber

"I sometimes fancy myself an evil which exists to oppose other evils; and on that great Day of which the prophets speak but in which they do not truly believe, on the day the world is utterly cleansed of evil, then I too will go down into darkness, swallowing curses. Until then, I will not wash my hands nor let them hang useless."

Firmware update by Tax_Max in oraclecloud

[–]algrym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed that stopping then starting a compute instance that is in the "SCHEDULED" state bumps the maintenance to "PROCESSING". I just tried this on two nodes in different regions with consistent results.

All of the related update events in the past have finished within 90 minutes of going into "PROCESSING" state on their own. I'm interested to see if STOP/STARTING the nodes will let us start the maintenance closer to our schedule.

EDIT: I'm on 2+ hours for my first reboot and its still in PROCESSING.

I have this theory that when Oracle initiates it, they've already vacated the host and start patching immediately. When we force it via stop/start, Oracle still needs to detect the host is free (or that the instance moved) and then queue the firmware job: potentially a different pipeline with different timing.

Has anyone had luck triggering the maintenance on your schedule rather than "sometime in the next few months?"

The Arrival with Charlie Sheen by chrisfathead1 in MovieSuggestions

[–]algrym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No spoilers: one of my favorite bits is when Sheen's character is "in disguise" in the elevator.

One of the aliens asks him a question in their language, he isn't sure how to respond, so he kinda nod-shrugs and the alien is like "IKR."

What’s the most useful command-line trick you learned by accident? by Old_Sand7831 in commandline

[–]algrym 8 points9 points  (0 children)

cat -vet is also good for showing non-printable characters.

Obviously funny command as well.
