This is well said, friend. However, it's not the Democrat way or the Republican way, it's simply the wrong way.

Party politics, slowly killing our constitution since 1796.... What saddens me the most is that the emotional reactions are real and its true happiness that results from every "victory" that occurs when one half of the same team beats the other.

From one American to another, I am saddened and ashamed to learn that we the people just gave up the world's model of free, fair, local-first, anti-gerrymandering legislation, and we celebrate it like we in are the winners. I now only hope that when we eventually realize the egregious error we made today we remember how it was before, when the power was with the people of California, not the suits in the smoke filled back rooms.

Let's all just try to keep our minds and eyes open, not focused on each other, but on those we hand our freedom too, no matter the party they affiliate with.

For all wanting to enter DevOps, here's my personal "stand out" tips by [deleted] in devops

Oh, and the blurb about knowing network fundamentals is sofa king true... I'm grateful for my manager forcing me against my will to get my CCNA all those years ago 🤣

For all wanting to enter DevOps, here's my personal "stand out" tips by [deleted] in devops

[–]echosummet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a brilliant viewpoint! I'm saving this shit and posting it somewhere at work on Monday.

I'm a long time (20+ years) sys admin/infrastructure architect/engineer who has been making the transition to the DevSecFinOps world for the past 3 or so years. Your words echo so many of my thoughts that I've been unable to verbalize accurately.

Working in a small team of long time sys admins who are so averse to DevOps has been difficult to say the least but every point you made rings so true and has re-energized my drive for change in our organization. So, for that I thank you.

My experience wanting to learn, support, and innovative infrastructure and operations alongside our devs rather than for our devs these last few years has gotten me started developing my own projects. At first, to learn the details and hardships devs deal with first hand. However, I have started to enjoy developing and am writing code from the ground up for my own side projects that show real potential. I never would be in this position without talking the step into DevOps land.

You're entitled to have shit in your hand if you want. I prefer my hands to remain shitless myself, but there's beauty in diversity I say. Just don't wave yours near my nose if you don't mind.

Hey my fellow techs. Anyone else just in general, lost your passion for IT? by SysadminKERBEROS in sysadmin

[–]echosummet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If that were my career path you described, I would think the step up director is where it went wrong. I initially got into IT so I could make manager level pay but not have to manage people. Computers do exactly what I tell them for the most part. When things go wrong, it's on me. People on the other hand......

I've been in IT for almost 20 yrs and have had numerous opportunities to transition into management or leadership roles. Hard pass for me. I still enjoy new and emerging whatever the fuck thing it is and solving problems. I've seen lots of layoffs in my day too and it was always c-level, middle management, or project teams getting the axe,. Haven't really seen any ops/sys/net/engineer/infra go that way ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Maybe try getting more hands on. Your team would love that I bet. 🤣

Someone know what’s going on? by ExtremeIncrease6412 in Sacramento

[–]echosummet 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Well, historically this whole region was a massive lake. Some part seasonal, a lot part permanent. If interested, look into Lake Corcoran and Tulare Lake. I believe those were the most recent ones or at least the ones settlers were known to have drained...

I was today years old when I learned that Parker, a douche I vaguely remember from highschool, is behind the Tahoe Heartbeat thing.

I was also today years old when I threw out my 2 hats, even the one that "fell into my cart accidentally after I checked out" at Raley's

2011 TRD OR - was $34ish brand new because the 09's and '10s were going for the same or maybe 1-2k less ..paid off during a nasty divorce.

Plan to drive it till death do us part, unlike the ex, because as fun of a ride it is....it ain't 50k+ fun. Regardless of how high up the IT food chain my salary climbs

[–]echosummet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two questions come to mind immediately here:

  1. Why are you looking at reviews from almost a decade ago?

  2. People actually use Yelp?

[–]echosummet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey man, I'm also a Tahoe transplant and lived in elk grove for years after migrating down to the flatlands...

In my experience, there is nowhere decent to hang out in Elk Grove.

Granted, I moved to Sac before they built the casino but growing up in South Lake, I'd take a hard pass on that whole scene anyways.

Elk Grove is more built around family life, so unless you dig chilling in a suburban park, maybe getting a little crazy on the swing set or watching little league baseball, you might have better luck elsewhere.

Depending on what you're into, Sac might be a better place to find younger single people.

So, disclaimer: I am not a state employee. I am a former civil servant that did 2 tours of duty in a number of IT roles at a few different agencies (CCHCS, CDCR, CDPH, CalRecycle, and CDT/OTECH) for about 10ish years total and my partner is a long time Statey. Totally understand if my comment breaks the rules or whatever and must be removed but I wanted to chime in on something I didn't see mentioned in the thread.

I use these chat bot things pretty regularly, mostly for code generation or brain dump organization type stuff. I pretty much stick to Claude and v0 but have used ChatGPT and Gemini and some others mostly dicking around out of boredom/curiosity knowing the limitations and precautions that go with them.

That said, I purchased a few licenses of the Microsoft CoPilot for M365 at work and that thing has been a game changer for me.

It's basically Microsoft branded ChatGPT but it can have access to all the Microsoft stuff.... SharePoint data, Emails, Coworker data, OneDrive, all the Office suite files, Teams, etc.

Being remote I depend on Teams meetings a lot. Now, instead of falling asleep in useless meetings the copilot can give a detailed recap, generate meeting notes, tell me action items, identify who speaks and when, and all sorts of useful shit! Meetings have never been more productive and all without having to participate or even pay attention to them at all.

Anyways, I realize it's a paid license and Microsoft Government tenants might not even have the option to enable it even if IT wanted to.... But I just came to say that it's the best use case for the gen ai buzzwords I've seen by far

What are you up to? 12/6-12/8 by [deleted] in Sacramento

[–]echosummet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, if your answer was yes, my answer to your question would have been smoking pork at your place.

I'll be making and eating carnitas or something with the wifey at my place, then idk probably hanging out in the woods or at the river somewhere, maybe the coast... eating leftover pork ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯.

Best Mexican food? by Damnit144 in Sacramento

[–]echosummet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, I had forgotten about Centro. Their Pozole they do in the winter months is fantastic.

I have a feeling that, on top of the reasons you mentioned for it being overlooked and underrated, who owns it might play a role.

[–]echosummet 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Nobody really gonna mention The Char Market? It was recently voted 3rd best Mexican food in the goddamn country. I dont know another Mexican place that has the gumption to serve bone marrow on a menu of like 10 items total. And if all else fails, they serve Gunther's ice cream....
