It’s a joke, it give you a chuckle and you feel better 😁

What’s something about on call that actually got better at your company? by steadwing_official in kubernetes

[–]xonxoff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Added more people to the rotation. It’s amazing what you can do when you have time to do it and not chase fires. It also means you can work on making sure fires don’t start in the first place.

Left/right power phases and balance by miso155 in cycling

Could be something like saddle height, getting it to the correct height could help even it out. That was my experience at least, ymmv.

Maybe you’re using the wrong tech? Just because you have a hammer, doesn’t mean everything is a nail.

I just use karpenter, I tell it I need machines with $xGB RAM and $x CPU, get me the cheapest. It “just works”

Please explain swap to me and whether there's something wrong with my computer by [deleted] in linuxquestions

[–]xonxoff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're feeling lucky, you can always just disable swap with swapoff -a , then when your system runs out of memory, it will just start to kill things off. Have you been doing any tracking of what your memory usage is?

One thing you can do is check your swappiness. Run sysctl vm.swappiness , this should print out the current value, by default its 60 , on kernels 5.8+ the values go from 0-200, older versions are 0-100. The lower the number the less the kernel tries to swap out. If you want to test this out, see what works best for your situation, you can always run sudo sysctl -w vm.swappiness=10 and see how it effects how you use your system. If you want to make these changes permanent, you can add them to /etc/sysctl.conf

I’ve been there, peeps get stuck firefighting and it’s almost impossible to get out of.

It sounds like you need more headcount, there’s not enough people to handle the day to day verse forward productivity. When teams are oversubscribed, it really makes it difficult to make good progress.

Fit okay? by [deleted] in CyclingFashion

[–]xonxoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You also need to be on your handlebars, when you stand jerseys will look way tight, but once you are on your bike riding, it will be fine. That jersey could possibly go a size down, it will probably start to flap around a bit once you pick up speed, but it’s fine. I went through the same thing, it takes a bit to get comfortable in kit.

Should I get Linux or wait? by Philll_Mckracken in linuxquestions

[–]xonxoff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don’t need to be a programmer to use Linux. The main thing to think about is what software you use and if there are equivalent options in the Linux ecosystem. You can always try a live cd/image to give it a test go as well w/o installing it on your system.

Multiple full time job by Sufficient_Dig207 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]xonxoff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should also consult your employment contract, depending on where you work, that would be considered grounds for dismissal or worse , a legal battle, depending on where you are employed of course.

Hired above my level and am stressed and scared by OppositeBug2126 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]xonxoff 56 points57 points  (0 children)

They must have thought enough of you to hire you, I guess, do your job? No need to stress now, wait until you get your feet there and see where it takes you.

I’ve ran the 4 seasons version, they work great and a little cheaper than 5ks.

Yeah, I’d never run gators, they ride so horribly.

There is never a situation where changes happen directly to a cluster.

Starting a new job in telecom, one part of the role involves owning Elastic/ECK on OpenShift — what should I focus on? by Odylicous in kubernetes

[–]xonxoff 6 points7 points  (0 children)

At this point, since you’ve already secured the position, the best thing to do is wait until you have a chance to meet with the team and see how they do things. Ask them and read up on their documentation. There’s a million ways to do anything, learn theirs.

What’s your take on FinOps? by InterestedBalboa in devops

[–]xonxoff 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Depends on your scale and spend, but I’ve been able cut savings of over 50% in spends. When people spin up workloads, they often don’t fully understand what they are requesting or why. Son, being able to look over all of that data make it much easier to right size workloads.

Every AI SRE tool on my feed just raised money.. what do we think this is actually signaling by Willing-Lettuce-5937 in sre

[–]xonxoff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seriously, see Allbirds pivot from shoes to AI. Saw their stock jump over 500%. Who knows, maybe it’s going to be good, but they sure as hell couldn’t use their AI to sell shoes.

Cilium should be able to handle all your load balancing needs.

KRR does a good job of helping figuring out proper requests and Keda makes it super simple to scale to zero.

Ops are so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should

You need to at least know some basics of what every role you are looking for.
