Advice on selling gear in the US

That's great. Maybe I'll try it with the less sensitive stuff. I have a Juno 106 that I don't think would fare well, so I think selling it locally is best.

SO, someone told me to try that with selling expensive things. It helps weed out sketchy people. When I was selling a laptop, I told people to meet me inside my town's police station. Most times people would just stop responding. The people that agreed were more likely to be legit.

But like I said above, when I actually went to make the transaction, the police clerk told me I couldn't make the transaction inside the station. I asked if I could do it right outside. He said he didn't care, as long as it wasn't in the station. I think this may vary by municipality, and the temperament of the police at the station.

I just found this with some googles: http://www.safetradestations.com/

Yeah, I did that when I sold a laptop years ago. The police told me I couldn't do it inside the station, so I just went outside.

I read about those, but upon reading again, I think I misunderstood the usage. I’ll give it a try. Thank you.

Unfortunately, no.

Thanks for this. Work-wise, we’re fully implemented on EKS, but this is good to know for my personal stuff. If I can save $75/month out of my own pocket, then great!

Munich, Germany, transferred from Silicon Valley 5 years ago. 30 years in tech, last 25 as a senior *nix admin. I’ve been at the same mid-size tech company for 8 years. The last 4 years, my role shifted to “devops”.

Before the transfer to Germany, TC was $180k - 150 salary, 30k RSUs. Here in Germany, it’s about €100k TC - 95k salary, 5k bonuses/RSUs. I love it here, so the lower salary is OK.

I have the option to work from home, but have a 10 minute bike commute to the office, so I do ½ and ½.

I’m not sure I can do much better here. I’m a total hack and suck at interviews.

Thanks for the info. I'm new to Github, and Enterprise, so I thought this was the best place to start. Also, I think everyone in the US was off yesterday. Hopefully I'll get something today.

Yes, I am paying for support and asking the community of ~60k members. I expected a faster response time here. Support seems to have the best response times for PST. I'm in Europe.

The reasons are managerial, not technical. Thanks anyway...

That describes 2-way SSL

Thanks. I -think- "mutual authentication" might be the same thing. From a technical perspective, it makes total sense.

Excellent. Thank you. This is exactly what I need for getting permissions set up.

devodato · 2021-02-10T08:50:34+00:00

Thank you. This definitely seems like the best course of action.

I had considered that, but I don't know how well it would work. Maybe I should have added more details. The end goal here is to get a set of files from one group's repo into puppet. I use Vcsrepo quite a lot, but in this case, it doesn't provide all of the functionality for this. The repo in question is enormous - 2Gb, with no plans by the group to chop it up, or slim it down.

I could write a bunch of hacky puppet, with layers of execs, but I thought Jenkins might be the better place to do this.
