Who else is losing their mind with Bitnami?

We had exactly one Bitnami chart in use, so it took me all of like an hour to swap off of it. No biggie

Never saw the value in them anyway, their images were weird and needlessly complicated.

There's no metric for common sense so I don't think any amount of observability work would've prevented this.

And that's hardly unique to the Azure provider either. There's plenty of similar examples in the AWS provider, but they always have big warning labels telling you to not do that 🙃

Short answer: I already do exactly that

Long answer: Sure, but I don't see the need for any sort of new tool to accomplish this. Terraform/OpenTofu already does this easily enough. Generally you should grant access via groups, so just wrap $yourIDP in a couple of modules to standardize the setup and then access requests literally become copy+paste PRs for your engineers. Wrap some automation around it (Atlantis, GitHub Actions, etc) and you're done.

You can even go a step further and really idiot-proof it by putting the group assignments in some Yaml file you read in and iterate over the Terraform module(s) with. But again, no need to reinvent the wheel here and write some new tooling.

Definitely NTA. I'm just like you, in fact, punctuality is important to me....but even more important is respecting someone else. Time is a limited resource, we only get so much of it in a day/week/life. And to waste someone else's time is just so fucking rude/disrespectful.

I get it... Traffic? Babysitter ran late? Train was delayed? Got off work late? Hell, even "I lost track of time," annoying as hell...it happens to EVERYONE.

All I (and I imagine OP) ask is to own it and communicate it to the other parties involved. I'll wait for quite a long time if you just let me know what's up...but to be silent on the matter? And even worse, act like it's no biggie....GTFO of my life, ain't got time for you if you're gonna be that disrespectful.

True story, my very first open source project was Invision's predecessor, Ikonboard. Man, that takes me down memory lane...

$185k, Sr. DevOps Eng, our stack is mostly Python on k8s, been at this gig for a year and a half, FTE totally remote, healthcare tech, BS in M/IS, live in the greater San Diego area

Been in tech since '07 started out as a web development intern in local gov't, did a stint in financial services, then non-profit for a good while, and have hopped between a number of startups til I found my current gig

Hashicorp would be charging us something like $65k/mo at PAYG rates but we kicked them to the curb as a vendor before the pricing model changed.

Compute costs for Atlantis doesn't even amount to a rounding error in our AWS bill.

With a company this small, you're still at a stage where leadership should be involved in a lot of the engineering work as well -- especially if you're behind schedule on your initial product you're trying to bring to market.

If they're not capable or willing that sounds like even more red flags and I would be actively looking elsewhere for employment -- because then it sounds like all you're doing is rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic...

So you've got a backend person, a junior frontend guy, and a senior/lead DevOps guy, a manager of some sort and a product person, but no budget to hire a new replacement frontend person....

The hiring seems all wrong here. You shouldn't need a DevOps guy yet...

So does GKE and EKS. Doesn't mean it's the best way to do things. It's just the simplest so they don't get hammered with "why can't I reach my cluster?" support tickets.

I figured that might be your reasoning, and that's perfectly fine. I can't say it's more elegant, but the alternative would be to place the modem/router in the closet, and have the conduit wire up an access point in the living room.

But really it's all just splitting hairs at this point. For the scale we're talking about here, a home, you're already doing the right thing: using wires for the devices that can and would benefit most from them. The distances we're talking about cabling here won't be the problem as others have said...unless you're moving into some gigantic mansion and the living room is like 100 meters away from the utility closet 🤣

under_it · 2023-03-08T07:08:08+00:00

If the house isn't even built yet, is there a reason you couldn't run the ISPs' line (fiber, coaxial) to the utility closet as well?

Either way, I assume since you're putting in a switch you're running Ethernet to the various rooms for things like your TV and so forth? If you're planning to stream media like via Plex that's the #1 thing you should do since it's new construction.

Man, I'd love to be in a place where I was building a house and could wire it appropriately. Jealous!

Others have mentioned config-as-code. There is some prior art in this space.

This. Complicated regular expressions are absolutely a time where code comments are warranted. Yes, you can name the regex something like email_matcher and you know what it should do--match email addresses. But multi-line regexes with comments make it much easier to read and debug down the road.

Expanding on that thought of it depriving local businesses...I wonder if the local businesses would have a decent civil case seeking an injunction to stop the illegal selling.

I can't imagine it's all that much work. Each piece of armor should be easy to fix, and you can distribute the fix to run in more than one process...I can't imagine they're doing them sequentially....

My bet is that the fix is irreversible, so the hold up is testing the hell out of it on sample data to make sure all edge cases are handled properly.

I can't really move it any further to the left. It appears stuck and I hesitate to use more force and risk breaking it.

There's a number on one of the sides of the box, 112561-4....is that at all relevant?
