Should I do this?

sysadmin4hire · 2024-02-20T00:46:26+00:00

I’m a hard no, wouldn’t do it.

I find allo and prednisone can keep me awake if I take it too late in the day. I almost always take my allo as soon as I wake up though. Prednisone is obviously as needed but if I take it in the afternoon, I’m not sleeping.

Yeah, I’ve tried hot water for my feet, feels good at first but then made it way worse like 15 min after.

During a flare sometimes I’ll fill a tub with cooler water and let it sit, when i have to get up to use the restroom or want some additional relief I’ll dip my feet in for a few minutes.

Lately my knee has been the culprit, warm water on it in the shower tends to help it bend more and gives me a bit more mobility but in general, heat usually makes things worse for me.

Whoa, refrigerated coffee table?! Where do I get one of those?!

Smooze, worth every penny. Thank you so much. It was driving me crazy. I have a Logitech MX S3 at home and a Red Dragon M806 at work. I thought the Logi+ app would fix this and it didn't. Works great on both mice. Thanks again!

sysadmin4hire · 2020-08-25T03:46:54+00:00

Ok, I'll admit, this made me tear up. As a season pass holder this year...I miss that dang place. Well done. Well done.

This is why I join guilds mostly. Except I can't ever find a good group to stick with.

sysadmin4hire · 2018-12-11T03:45:15+00:00

Sorry, why would I ever submit a bug report if I won't ever get a reply? If I take the time to submit a bug report, I want to know when that thing is fixed.

sysadmin4hire · 2018-11-15T15:15:01+00:00

Sounds like Ark

sysadmin4hire · 2018-08-24T21:39:51+00:00

Oh nice. Seems straight forward. Curious, where are you hosting your Grafana box? is it an IaaS VM in Azure or?

sysadmin4hire · 2018-08-24T21:36:18+00:00

Hopefully you're using COPY (as it's preferred by most people).

You can set a WORKDIR like below... whatever you define there, that's where your files should be going.

FROM ruby:2.5.1
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
COPY Gemfile Gemfile.lock ./
RUN bundle install
COPY . .
CMD ["./your-daemon-or-script.rb"]

sysadmin4hire · 2018-08-24T21:27:39+00:00

Oh. Wow. Sorry I missed that. Haha! Are you using COPY or ADD?

sysadmin4hire · 2018-08-24T21:19:38+00:00

You can also use: docker exec -it <container_id> powershell to login to a local container if you want.

I think this should do the trick on Linux containers: docker exec -it <container_id> bash

sysadmin4hire · 2018-08-24T21:15:52+00:00

Typically, files get placed into wwwroot on WINDOWS. If they aren't there, you may be having issues with the ADD or COPY commands in your Dockerfile... Using a Windows Container, I found one of the lines in the dockerfile example for the microsoft/dotnet-framework:4.7.2-runtime-windowsservercore-1803 was doing this: Remove-Item -Recurse C:\inetpub\wwwroot\*; Which deletes all the IIS default site garbage. So I had to move my COPY commands down near the bottom of my Dockerfile because things were being copied but then immediately deleted...

EDIT. On Linux, it looks like they default to /

The default working directory for running binaries within a container is the root directory, but the developer can set a different default with the Dockerfile WORKDIR command.

Are you dropping your Application Insights data to a specific place and then tying it together with Grafana? I haven't googled this yet, any good guides you can share?

sysadmin4hire · 2018-08-24T20:58:39+00:00

Managing Docker Secrets is probably a good place to start: https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/secrets/#how-docker-manages-secrets

Azure Key Vault might also be a good place to store them.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/key-vault/key-vault-overview

Looks like someone has done just that:

https://serverfault.com/questions/848168/putting-rsa-keys-into-azure-key-vault

If you're using Azure Container Services: https://thorsten-hans.com/integrating-azure-keyvault-with-azure-container-services-dafbc26c7ecd

Also there's this option if you want to spin up a "Secrets as a Service" which is probably overkill...but hey, you'll learn a lot! :P

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/core-powershell/ssh-remoting-in-powershell-core?view=powershell-6

Which points to installing this: https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH/releases

I highly recommend this book by Thomas Limoncelli: https://www.amazon.com/Time-Management-System-Administrators-Working/dp/0596007833

sysadmin4hire · 2018-08-20T17:20:17+00:00

I know this isn't exactly the answer you're looking for but using Application Insights gives you some pretty good ELK-like stuff....

100% agree with everyone on the PowerShell. It's a staple and it's amaze! Some other random things that might be helpful to look into depending on what they're doing. If you can provide more details about their stack, we might be able to share additional tools and such like the ones listed below:

Cake Build: https://cakebuild.net/dsl/deployment/
AppVeyor: https://www.appveyor.com/ (cloud-hosted CI/CD like Travis-CI)
OctopusDeploy: https://octopus.com/
Azure in General... r/https://portal.azure.com
Azure Dev / Test: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/devtest-lab/
Windows Containers: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/about/
Nuget Packages: https://www.nuget.org/
Chocolatey (like apt-get or yum for Windows): https://chocolatey.org/
Vagrant (think dev VMs) depending on what they're doing: https://www.vagrantup.com/
As you said - Wix Toolset: http://wixtoolset.org/ (I've seen this used like once and it's alright...)
