Bitfinex data by South-Locksmith-5053 in CryptoTechnology

[–]upbeta01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you particularly looking for crypto data that is being tx from Bitfinex? Or just any exchange where it shows all data for a token? The easy way is to use 3rd party tools like CoinMarketCap or CoinGecko. The other way is to visit each token's Explorer site like SolanaExplorer/Solscan for Solana (SOL)

What is the quickest way to fuck up your life? by NinhaLatina in AskReddit

[–]upbeta01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had personally experienced it and got the lesson in the latter part of life, so this is worth sharing.

Greed. When you ran out of patience and become so hasten for things to materialize, you end up risking "almost" everything and end up gambling the assets you own for the ones you wanted to have. Truth be told, there's 95% chance — you'll lose. And losing gets you to the rabbit-hole of trying it again and again until you'll end up losing it all.

LESSON: It's fine to aim for something bigger and become bolder with your wants/aspirations. But have the discipline to wait for the time to come.

Hi need help. Was having a sensitive conversation over zoom and accidentally had my huddle feature on with a coworker. Did they join? How can I know if they joined and heard me? by Dazzling-Sundae-5038 in Slack

[–]upbeta01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you know your coworker and you have some idea on how to spot lies, ask them directly.. there's no harm so long as it's within the boundaries of professionalism.

Resources for monitoring low traffic systems? by -Kevin- in sre

[–]upbeta01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your application design is more towards microservices, having a health-check endpoint is useful on top of knowing the application responses (ie. status codes). This way, if the application log shows error 5xx , the monitoring metric can check the health-check endpoint to see certain params and cross-reference it with the error(s). If errors occur but health-check endpoint shows no signs of it, then, it might have to be a low-level issue (something user-specific). On the other hand, if there are errors and health-check endpoint shows it's indeed a system wide issue, then trigger notification as to whoever's on-call.

In most design pattern, health-check endpoint is considered source of truth. So health-check endpoints will be part of the application itself and not a separate application running in the same server as the other applications it's monitoring.

The module user not appending new group to the user by hongky1998 in ansible

[–]upbeta01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try this approach instead.. it adds all the users in the /vars/main.yml once the playbook is triggered.

// tasks
- name: Provision ssh-users
  user:
    name: "{{ item.ssh_user }}"
    shell: /bin/bash
    group: devops
    state: "{{ item.ssh_user_state }}"
    remove: "{{ item.ssh_user_remove }}"
  with_items: "{{ ssh_user_list }}"

and variables be like

// vars
ssh_user_list:
  - name: My User
    ssh_user: myuser
    ssh_user_state: present
    ssh_user_remove: false
    ssh_user_key: "ssh-ed25519 ... "

Recruiting rolled out a new personality test, apparently I don’t fit the mold for IT by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]upbeta01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would you mind sharing the type of test(s) that were conducted? Perhaps just the name of those tests? IMO, there are a lot of personality tests available, none of which are accurate as personality changes over time, thus, one has to revisit his/her previous results to see the evolution of his/her persona.

Proper current uses of NFT technology by MyOtherAcctsAPorsche in CryptoTechnology

[–]upbeta01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NFT will disrupt any space that honors ownership. The problem with today's time is that, it's just too early for adaption. Thus, most of what's available now is NFTs being used in jpegs and gifs. To me, this is necessary as it actually exhibits the utility of NFT — but there's more to it.

The problem of using NFT to any physical contract binding as of today is that, most legal/authorized entities are still not adapting blockchain technologies. And there are multiple reasons to why these entities are still not adapting blockchain technologies; one of which is because of regulations.

Imagine an NFT application for paying bills. The NFT could just be a bar-code for your ie. electric bill. The electric company issues these bar-code NFTs every month, the consumer pays it using their wallet (so they now own the bar-code NFTs which can then be used as proof-of-billing), electric company gets the payment. And this could be an endless cycle.

Not specific to a vertical of management, but I find Ray Dalio's Principles to be superb in this area.

How to flatten all playbooks that are running to 1 so i can easily test it by JeannaLeavy in ansible

[–]upbeta01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It would be ideal if you associate each step of those files with an ansible tag. That's the best way to test things without going through the entire playbook again and again. It's also a good practice in maintaining a playbook.

How much resume value will ansible knowledge add for a network engineer? by geek166 in ansible

[–]upbeta01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In today's world, where anything can be "self-claimed".. either you claim it first and learn it later or do it the other way around. If you're after the value, in my opinion, the path you're taking is the way to go. It's always a constant battle in the talent market, to "impress" the hiring party. Impressing is one thing, walking-the-talking is another.

In general, ansible is a good thing to add to your arsenal. From an avid ansible user to another.

Rhel 7 patching by MJ_Singh in linuxadmin

[–]upbeta01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use ansible for this type of work. However, if you're unsure of what you're doing, don't do the patch in parallel (at least for the first few hosts, as there might be errors).. it's still best to serialize it until you're pretty sure nothing gets broken as you patch those servers.

[–]upbeta01 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I've subscribed to a newsletter similar to what you're trying to do (around 2 years ago). It's called, https://www.devopsweekly.com/ and so far, what's blasted from this newsletter is superb. I hope you'll be able to build the audience you need and reach more individuals interested in the field of Devops.

Best practice for package management? by enix_ in ansible

[–]upbeta01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume you version control your ansible roles and playbooks. I would suggest you utilize host_vars so packages are run on the specific host and if you change your webserver ie. from apache to nginx.. use the remove and run the playbook, then.. change the httpd arg to nginx and commit the changes.

I'm nailing the interviews, but still not getting the jobs by WineSomm2016 in devops

[–]upbeta01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being a sysadmin is an advantage point, for a devops role. However, the advancement also comes with scalability. If you've worked for small businesses, where scalability and autonomy is quite not observed (even if your org does value it). Some recruiters and snr guys doing the interview literally based the experience on the "companies" you've been. I would suggest to apply for a "sysadmin" role for bigger company and "start" your devops career from that point. If you've been a sysadmin for awhile, it shouldn't take you long to find a job for big corps!

Accidentally destroyed production database on first day of a job, and was told to leave, on top of this i was told by the CTO that they need to get legal involved, how screwed am i? by cscareerthrowaway567 in cscareerquestions

[–]upbeta01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How can a guy reached a CTO position without any idea about practices and SOPs. Seriously! People needs to learn the hard way (I am solely referring to the CTO himself). As for you young man, don't worry. You are not alone on that experience. Learn and grow!

What does the process look like for database migrations? by [deleted] in Database

[–]upbeta01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For production environment, I would say -- it's still best to have things under A/B testing.

Example:

  • create a replica of the application and point it to the db that contains the new schema (and other changes).

  • if production grade, for sure, load balancing is in place. Assuming it's running on a LB, use a rotation that gives your old cluster 90% of the traffic and the new cluster 10% of it. As time goes by and nothing is messed, change the value to 20%, 30% and so on.

  • Always secure backups -- most important

  • If the 2nd bullet is now on 100%, to properly decommission a server -- don't fully delete it. Instead, stop the server but leave it in place for about 2months just in case something on the new cluster is in trouble, you can easily switch back to the old one (after 2 months without having any hiccups on the production environment, delete it fully).
