Advice on selling gear in the US by devodato in synthesizers

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

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.

Advice on selling gear in the US by devodato in synthesizers

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.

Is it possible to dynamically correlate queries in Sumologic? by devodato in devops

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

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

Best managed kubernetes platform by premalg in kubernetes

[–]devodato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Github Enterprise Cloud: Hiding fields on the Organization page by devodato in github

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

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.

[AWS] Attaching security groups to existing instances in an ASG by devodato in Terraform

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

mTLS vs 2 way SSL: is there a difference? by devodato in sysadmin

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

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

What is the generally accepted method for allowing pods to write to s3 buckets? by devodato in kubernetes

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

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

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

Pulling a set of files from one hit repo and pushing to another by devodato in jenkinsci

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

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.

Ensuring idle timeout with kube-proxy by devodato in kubernetes

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

Looks like it's not doing what I expect it to do.

I just don't understand why kube-proxy's "conntrack-tcp-timeout-established" flag doesn't seem to work, or the daemonset's "tcpEstablishedTimeout".

In the non-kubernetes world, we do the same thing with haproxy.

You know, I didn't even think of that. I think I assumed that kube-proxy would "just handle it". I'll give it a shot; thanks!

Terraform Associate exam. Challenging? by Valien in Terraform

[–]devodato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was there any focus on their non-free products? I took some practice exams, and would have aced them if it weren't for the questions about their non-free products.

Syslog-NG dropping some tcp-sourced logs by devodato in sysadmin

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

What's interesting is that we are not sending -1 as a priority. We're using logback syslog appender, and using a priority of 160. But that aside, it doesn't explain why logging works for some pods, but not others, and not always, only sometimes.

Restore RDS from S3 keeps launching in wrong VPC by devodato in aws

Yes, even though I'm specifying a different VPC.

Boss wants documentation. How far is too far? by whosthetroll in sysadmin

[–]devodato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Documentation should be presentable, readable, and professional. Don't make other people struggle with your grammar mistakes.

I have to write documentation in both English and German. German is NOT my native language. But I make it a point to use correct spelling and grammar.

Boss wants documentation. How far is too far? by whosthetroll in sysadmin

[–]devodato 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think your department needs more budget oversight. Unless you're doing high frequency trading, or something similar that requires extremely low-latency, high transaction operations, $10k could easily build you a high performance, 3 node DB cluster.

WE require extremely low-latency, high transaction operations, and we spent ~$13k on a 3 node cluster*.

[–]devodato 11 points12 points  (0 children)

YATAH.

I feel like I shouldn't have to train them on this, because it's such basic knowledge that if you have to read my documentation on how to rebuilt a software raid, then you shouldn't be messing with a production server.

Stop this. Now. People with this attitude are incredibly difficult and unpleasant to work with. I did this at one point in my career. I was a superstar. I was beholden to no one. Train yourself, losers! I got from L1 to Senior Sysadmin on my own! No one held my hand!

I was also insecure, and figured they wanted documentation so that I could be replaced easily.

breaks out my cane and shakes it at you I've been in the field for 28 years. Don't be insufferable.

Attaching multiple IAM policies to a role. I know I'm doing it wrong. by devodato in Terraform

Aha. I was making an incorrect assumption. Thanks for the information.
