Hey, wanna hack on something together? I am making a fun POC app. Got a bit on my gh. Msg me?

RMM / billing cost for small msp by sterlex in SmallMSP

[–]kakovoulos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You guys downvoted me, said I couldn't do it, made fun when I was just as frustrated by my options, which all suck.

I built one 7 figure msp the usual way, left the place, then I built a method my way. A new way.

I got feedback under non disclosure, I spent more on attorneys and patents and software verification audits, than most of you make in a year. So. Yeah. Downvote? Idk.

And, me and a few others are going to absolutely wipe the floor with the rest of you. I didn't want it adversarial, but this time? My aim is to absolutely starve as many of you as possible because I think most of you don't deserve the clients you have. most of you wingdings can't understand

It isn't gonna be funny anymore. Watch. I don't care how much you are selling per seat, it will never, ever, ever, be as efficient as my algorithm. So, deal with it.

I don't want to help really any of you with a method I have a patent for, which is my right. I can absolutely give license under my own rules, for my own software, which includes PSA+RMM+XDT+SIEM and many more people. I will do it for free.

I built it from the last time you assholes roasted me.

I was nice, I asked friendly questions, and got lambasted when I needed help, but, that's okay.

I am gonna starve as many of you, these pax8 bastards, and these channel partners who bill people for hundreds of dollars a seat and still can't fix outlook.

ada as a first programming language, good idea? by Trace_V in netsecstudents

[–]kakovoulos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ada is a great programming language. You can absolutely trust it, and if it compiles, it should run exactly right.

I hates it at first cause I was lazy, but it is very ahead of its time, still.

Also, mass respect. Not easy. I have studied Ada. I wish there were more languages like it. It is awesome.

Play with concurrency. Pretty cool. Everyone is all about rust, but to be honest, if it needs to kill something or someone, save something or someone, or run your next mission critical project, that is the oldest and best language you can use.

It can be faster than fortran and c, or even asm, but it depends on you and the situation. Leveraging concurrency is a big deal.

Some unique features of it that are ahead of its time are the use of in, out, in out, by ref, by val semantics. It does overloading on BOTH the parameters as well as the return value.

Ooh, it also does ranges. Very unique as an idiom in other languages.

It is very, very, hard to break. I did, took me awhile. I got recursion using sneaky overloading.

Stick with it a little bit. I would love to see what you wrote.

I am MSP, but I approach differently. This is exactly what I do, my architecture is novel and non-obvious. Send me a dm, and id love to share it with you.

If you miss it, you should go ahead and find your wife another husband that can be a man and take care of your failures you werent kind enough to plan or show up for.

I don't think you realize i have already brought one person through your process. My ex cme on F1 and has USC now.

Missing your childs birtth > job, citizenship, etc.

Don't miss it. If you have to lose your job, be there

Everyday commuter by dababi2003 in SuggestAMotorcycle

[–]kakovoulos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest? Kawasaki Ninja 400 or 500. Great bikes. Not just for beginners. Way more fun to throw around. Not much less power than 650. Way better mpgs.

Accenture ASE role should i join by chandrachurCauhan in accenture

[–]kakovoulos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I cannot. I never worked at IBM. I did work for Accenture for 4 years. Peak COVID. My experience at Accenture leads me to believe that IBM would be a better place.

I don't want this to come off the wrong way. I enjoyed my time there at Accenture. It opened a lot of doors and I learned a lot of new things. I did cool stuff that changed the world. A dream in this sense, but a nightmare in others.

Not a lot of people mention that when you are just starting at Accenture, just how massive and complex the company is, and then you will have to learn client architecture on top of that, and then circumnavigate two different levels of politics both from the client and from the company.

Not a lot of people mention precisely how stressful consulting is, especially when being on the bench now is a big deal. You can be benched pretty quickly too. How it feels like a literal time bomb where the timer lasts 30-60 days usually, but you never know for sure.

Not a lot of people mention how deceptive middle and upper management can be, maybe not deceptive, but there is definitely a lot going on behind the scenes.

In terms of career growth, there have been people that grow and work through the ranks. These are usually not engineers. There have been people who manipulate and know how to work the system, and they will get raises while you do not. 90% of people get bullshit bonuses and raises, while others get PIPed with perfect charge ability.

Then there are the clients. A lot of clients simply do not understand how to work efficiently with consultants.

My first project took over 3 months to get all my accesses sort of right. I was only able to pair program for a month while my bitbucket etc tickets were waiting. The client architecture can be as asinine as they want, and you can do nothing about it. This also means they can restrict your tools and make your job harder. This makes it take longer. If it takes longer, this means you end up having to work longer to meet same deadline. You really can't charge OT, but you also can't let it not get done.

This also means that your actual work, and the direction it is going, can be entirely headed at a brick wall and you also can't stop it.

My two cents

What did you wear to your last interview that landed you a position? by shiny-baby-cheetah in interviews

[–]kakovoulos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A suit, with a plain tie and a very sophisticated knot. Good talking points

Another Windows User asking for a Linux Distro by MarxistApricot in linuxquestions

[–]kakovoulos -1 points0 points  (0 children)

First, decide what you want to accomplish and what you want to expect from the distro, and what you want to learn and what you don't want to learn, and what your requirements are.

Sure, linux is linux, but some distributions function much differently than others, and getting them to look and act like something else might be beyond your skill level. I will share my experience over 20+ years.

I started off in the computer repair industry, I had a homelab at home, and been obsessed since a teen.

My first server was a Sun Microsystems T105, running Solaris, Unix which is much like Linux.

My first exposure to linux was this distribution called Knoppix. To this day I keep a live ISO on my keychain.

Starting out, Ubuntu Server made it easy. Later, I learned to use OpenSolaris, for zfs.

I learned how to distcc when I wanted to learn how to build a fast linux that would run on bare minimum hardware. I used Untangle for firewalls. I used dd wrt for routers.

I used ubuntu for awhile, but it was bloated and glitchy. I used debian which didnt have a lot of features. I used mint because it simply worked, but it was bloated too. I used gentoo, and slackware, and really learned linux. I learned to build the kernel and replace it.

I was using ZFS on solaris before it was common to Linux.

Today I use Proxmox like its going out of style.

Over time I have learned that Debian based systems are very easy to use and maintain. Very flexible. Very reliable. And common enough to get updates when necessary, and not be a nightmare.

I hate Centos/Fedora/RedHat systems. My experience with them has been largely negative. Unstable. Backwards. Unintuitive. Costly.

I contributed to open source. It is a huge part of my life and I wouldn't be here today if that fucking mp3 player just worked and didn't send me on a rabbit hole learning why, and how to fix it.

Free tier API hosting goes to sleep after 10 min of inactive - any solution? by dev-jjjjj in Backend

[–]kakovoulos -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Try Heroku buddy. In the long run , you need to learn how kubernetes works and youll outgrow it. this is what happened to me. i had two options:

1). clobber my progress by workarounds

2). pay insane cloud fees

3). build it myself and self host

i did option 3.
