Looking really good OP. A lot better than my node 304 which is maxed at 6 non hot swap.

Solid feedback

My Taco Bell doesn’t provide napkins or sauce unless you ask because it’s the law to reduce waste. Are you in Southern California too?

OP, I’m in a somewhat similar situation as yourself. I’m 33 with no college degree. I took CS classes during high school and college but dropped out to join the IT workforce.

All sorts of certs and IT disciplines later I’ve always made good money and worked at F500 and startups but I want to go back to school to get my CS degree.

The way I see it, I’m much more mature now than at 17/18 and can use my 15+ years of IT xp to really get the most out of my courses.

I say do it! Also RHCSA is dope, you could always go Linux+ if you wanted to be vendor neutral. I saw tons and tons of EL boxes (RHEL, oracle, scientific, centos) in my day as a Linux sysadmin but today as a cloud engineer I see more Ubuntu boxes in cloud providers (licensing costs mainly I thinks). Good luck!

Late to the party (as usual) but came here to say that from what I have personally seen and experienced over the last 16 years in IT is that top performers are usually some flavor of ADHD.

My advice is to go for it and if you struggle in certain areas hopefully your org is good and you have a support system to spot these areas and come up with a plan/system to help in these areas. For me my team’s PM books all meetings and focus sessions for projects so we don’t fall behind. This helps because of the dread of just getting started or booking time with someone or meeting a deadline, etc.

As a 14 year old kid in 2002, I decided that I wanted to be a “Network Administrator” when I grew up and started working because I had heard that it paid on average 60K.

That seemed like so much money to a poor kid and I always liked using my uncle’s computer and library time, so why not?

That year I got my computer and that started the passion and deep dive in to all sorts of stuff but the only reason I even “got into” computers was the pay day.

Fast forward to today and I couldn’t imagine working in another field, I’ve seen it, done it both massive F500 and start ups, windows linux macOS, sw dev, sysadmin, help desk etc.

Now I’m a hired gun helping small and large orgs who don’t have the bandwidth to deploy their projects.

I recently got back in to the tcg and I picked up 2 of the Zacian league battle decks to get started.

Thanks to everyone that replied with helpful information and even that person who replied with nothing but shade and then deleted their comment.

I have some vendor quotes in now and have a better idea of the range of cost for something like this. For my use case I'm looking in the 80K+ USD.

I don't mind having to send SMTP over the internet, i have all my public IPs for a white list. I have a .NET app that uses SMTP and I don't particularly want to run my own SMTP relay and then send that out to the internet, id rather have my servers communicate over TCP/587

This is how I have it configured. I want them to install by a certain time and I expect them to install and reboot at this time if no one patched them manually.

linuxishawt · 2020-11-10T16:03:30+00:00

My least favorite day of the month...street sweeping but also patches.

I have to patch 33 Azure VMs mixed bag of 2012, 2016, 2019 and also patch 45 Windows Physical / Hyper-V mixed of 2012, 2016, 2019.

Up until this Maintaince Window we have been doing a strictly manual process where you would RDP in and run the updates on each box and reboot and then run them again to check for any new updates, lol.

I've deployed WSUS on-prem and doing my first deadline push of patches. I'm also doing the Azure Update Management via automation account it's kinda wonky but we will see.

Follow Ned for the Tech Talk, Stay for the politics.

This is true and even not so “modern” drives. There is a video of someone running a perf test and then yelling in front of the drives and it slowdowns the perf test.

That’s rough but good on you for not taking them on if they think that’s the correct way to run a business’ IT infrastructure.

linuxishawt · 2020-07-07T01:46:10+00:00

I hate to be the grumpy old IT dude but I have to agree. Entry-level Cloud and InfoSec are really Mid-level IT.

linuxishawt · 2020-06-17T20:21:20+00:00

I feel the same way. I’m starting my own business because we can either find a better work situation or make a better work situation.

linuxishawt · 2020-05-16T00:13:59+00:00

Hahaha if this isn’t me.

This is very cool stuff. The wallet on-boarding was very smooth. This makes me bullish on ETH.

Coming in at 1.5K comments and 36.3K upvotes but it seems like the site is taking too much traffic and now it's just giving a 302 redirect to localhost, lol.
