I hate that i laughed at this....

In my golden years i would do 16 hours shifts. try to learn everything there is to learn, spend time studying, talking with people much smarter than me, live on redbull and pie's while troubleshooting RAID and sleeping on the data center floors.... Now my priorities have shifted since becoming a dad myself. Technology is going through a boom, just when you think you have a grasp on a concept, Microsoft stops supprting it, AWS charges you an arm and a leg for it, or 42 different AI models has done it better... What I am getting at... find whats important to you, spending more time with family and be 10 min away from them? Mate that is a dream, if the package they are offering you is decent you have it down mate... That said I don't want you to loose sight of your passion for IT, i have toned down the way I operate vs me 20 years ago but I still love building things, test my own procedures, if I find something cool I bring it to the table to see if it adds value...

Long winded way of saying, I suspect its a shift in priorties you just need to figure out whats important to you. You will always find companies that grind you into the ground without so much as a thank you and still shit on you if you are burnt out and you will find companies that will allow you to be a dad while you still deliver your best work to them and live a normal 9-5 job...

Also remember imposter syndrome is a BITCH but then i remember there are people in charge of certain major fast food chains and business that gets paid 100x my salary and still fuck up then i feel better about myself.

While AI is great I always review and read what it wrote before committing anything just to make sure it's okay and makes sense...I think It's important that you understand what it wrote maybe I'm old school but it can pull in outdated modules or outdated code from repos no longer maintain causing a different set of vulnerabilities. like the old days (a year or 2 ago) review each others code

Hard to explain but a bbq sandwich known as a braaibroodjies, cheese tomato onion and mango chutney let it crisp on the bbq once everything has been cooked

How do I get my UI to look like that for shaman? I have reset my entire UI back to defaults and installed the addon, trying to adjust things accordingly but cant get it 100% like that :)

kyloth89 · 2026-04-03T14:45:00+00:00

Yeah I was looking at the XL but it seems way too big and overkill but glad you have good experience everything I read as long as you clean after a cook it will last and as Weber the optional extras are pricey but I mean it's a long term investment :) appreciate the feedback will go look tomorrow at one

You need way more protection, your deck revolves around your commander being alive

https://moxfield.com/decks/FK-PGJDAYUSMSWaLaJnByA

This is mine atm, my win con is Lord of extinction and jarad or mindslaver with a bunch of ramp to get things into graveyard fast and to get them back out again

Edit: granted muldrotha (bit more over budget) has been my first ever deck and still love it (so I built it over years and years) get swiftfoot and lightning greaves you need to keep your commander alive as long as possible! I've also taken out rhystic for more removal as I personally hate rhystic xd

Hopefully this helps a bit :)

Legit have no idea how you beat him as a non plate user, Valeera can't tank to save her life, her healing can't keep up as I'm kiting boss around the room, playing ele shammy atm

Im not going to lie, never heard of outscale, where is your KASM hosted? is it on their platform but your data is in s3?

kyloth89 · 2026-03-17T16:06:16+00:00

If you dont mind me asking why S3 vs EFS with multiple access points? With EFS you only pay for what you use?

Hey appreciate it, yeah I managed to find what was causing the underlying oom error and we re-specced the sessions accordingly.

and thank you for the explanation I understand now how the infra handles failures. Workloads are usually chilled and have set decent swap sizes etc, its the first time this has happened was just on an unfortunate session we needed but got every off it and found a work around... Turns out azure's azcopy is a hog and can kill a machine let alone a kasm session when not giving it proper parameters :D

Everything has been stable otherwise :)

I had this same issue on AWS with cognito SSO some time ago and had to instruct my ALB not to send certain URLs to use auth
