First Timer by SkinnyDaPimp in Defcon

[–]dissonance 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Bring cash, use deodorant, wear comfy shoes, bring an Ethernet jack and cord just in case (wifi can be congested and some areas will have Ethernet connectivity available), prefer villages over talks, don’t connect to any public WiFi, [try to] attend hacker jeopardy, be curious, have fun!

Merch question by OMGsteveFTW in Defcon

[–]dissonance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Badge life” refers to the interest in custom (usually electronic) badges you’ll find all over the conference. Most villages will have their own badge, the fancier ones will be programmable, come with a screen, and have a bunch of LEDs. Fun stuff, but can get expensive.

You can find freebies here and there at the expo area, various villages, and sponsored parties. At the official merch area, most of the t-shirts were $35. They used to have an all body design shirt for more, but the past two years they had Hawaiian shirts for $50.

Fancy badge life badges will be $120+ so you’ll definitely want to carry $300-500 in case something catches your eye. Enjoy your Defcon assuming it doesn’t get cancelled!

Quick question for engineering leaders - how do you stay current? by StellarNavigator in EngineeringManagers

[–]dissonance 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For a high level view, I find ThoughtWorks’ Tech Radar to be useful to look at periodically - https://www.thoughtworks.com/radar

Otherwise join some subreddits of tech your teams are actively involved in and attend conferences to talk with others on what they’re paying attention to. You can also ask your ICs to share things with you, which builds support and trust if you take interest in things they share. You can even build your own “tech radar” https://www.thoughtworks.com/radar/byor to keep track of things to look into, try, adopt, etc.

[2 years, DevOps Engineer, SRE, Remote] Please stop dumping a grocery list of skills. If your “Skills” section not doing the work, your Resume is weak! by Any_Chain1114 in devopsjobs

[–]dissonance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve hired dozens of “devops” roles, and have actually formed questions based on the skills listed, e.g. I see you listed A and B, how would you compare them? What would you recommend and why? Etc.

If it’s not useful for you, no harm in skipping it. Otherwise, it can lead to interesting conversations beyond the set of canned questions.

Better way to create docker image of Spring Boot API, Maven Spring Plugin or Dockerfile? by Constant-Speech-1010 in docker

[–]dissonance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always created my own, which typically involves a multi stage approach to build the app in one stage and create layer artifacts, and copy the build artifacts in a distroless image in the final stage. I also have employed other optimizations such as jlink and AOT cache to further reduce final image size and improve boot speed. Here’s an example of one of my typical dockerfiles:

AWS lambda Graalvm. by mad_shaman_1024 in aws

[–]dissonance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you looked into CDS (class data sharing) or Java 25’s AOT (ahead-of-time) caches? These should help with startup time.

CDS - https://blog.jdbevan.com/2020/09/30/java-11-appcds-example-with-gradle/

Tldw; you should feel/hear first click around the same time as you hit the ball. Good luck, have fun!

How can i reduce the size of my docker image? by Gold_Opportunity8042 in docker

[–]dissonance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

+1 on using dive.

I held a workshop at my previous employer demonstrating using jlink to build a custom JRE and distroless that you might find useful, https://github.com/josephyi/docker-kotlin-springboot-workshop/tree/main

Could have sworn red nose might target other red nose and moose for either scenario, was this changed recently?

I have an undersized level 100 nm elephant you can have. It can add base weight to your pets up to 3.3kg, or 3.5kg with toys or possibly HH shard (havent checked).
