I imagine that was a nice wtf moment. The fact that it didn’t break the yaml is hilarious as just sneezing at a yaml file breaks it already.

I've been blocked by other stuff and not wanting to take up even more plates to spin I decided to look at some long-standing annoyance with a local disk of mine and that path lead me to the hdparm manpage. I just have to quote from it because I love all the ways it spells out how much you can gently caress yourself with that tool. quote:This is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS and will very likely cause massive loss of data. DO NOT USE THIS COMMAND. And it goes on, almost everything is absolutely plastered with nauseatingly dire warnings  Completely justified of course, hdparm can send some hilariously destructive commands to a device, but it makes for an interesting read. I found the option I wanted though, and now my spinning rust bulk storage drive is quieter than before, without data loss  .

Took today and next Friday off, because why the hell not? I have a ridiculous amount of PTO hours in the bank so might as well use them. Gonna take the kids on a hike, should be a nice day for it.

I apparently love working so much I took zero time off last year. We lose our annual leave if we don't use it by the end of the tax year so I took ever Monday and Tuesday off from the beginning of January until the end of March. Them first weeks when you're back to doing 5 days

I cant reproduce this, chucking the document separator on a SecretVolumeSource just complains that my secret-name--- secret doesn't exist and can't be found. This is probably some dumb helm bullshit. Using whitespace control without a comment explicitly describing why is also definitely a warning flag imo. e: that you have a helm template with 4 digits of LoC is half hilarious and half terrifying. What a terrible loving job that must be.

Folks who work in nonprofits - what has your experience been like working with infosec teams? Is it basically "here's the output from Dome9/the pentest/%securitytool%, go fix it, no exceptions, don't even ask", or will they at least hear you out if applying a fix will break something critical and you have X and Y compensating/detective controls in place?

Risk of breaking something, especially if that probability is 1, is still a risk that infosec guys should take into account. SOMETIMES you do have to say "go fix it no exceptions" but that's generally pretty rare- the only time I've had to do that at this current job was to patch the MS DNS servers because of their wormable vulnerability. Which hadn't been patched in seven months. STOP FIGHTING ME ON PATCHING GODDAMNIT, PATCHING NEEDS TO HAPPEN

If you're socially distancing, wearing a mask when unable to, and taking the right precautions then it's no more of a risk than running an errand. I'm in no way saying it's completely safe but if people want to responsibly go out then they can. As long as its not something goddamned stupid like going to indoor dining or some poo poo like that. I'm in NYC, plenty of people are going to Central Park or wherever and doing it responsibly.

12 rats tied together posted:I cant reproduce this, chucking the document separator on a SecretVolumeSource just complains that my secret-name--- secret doesn't exist and can't be found. In our defense, its not our helm template. We just use dump the upstream cilium chart which apparently is the one to have this bug. code:tldr it was discovered by getting a page after our cluster autoscaler failed to bring up a node. Cilium didn't start because we had just done the 1.8 upgrade yesterday and I guess something changed between 1.6 and 1.8 around who enumerates nodes: cilium agent or the operator. >1.8 the operator does it, that's what the error message and rbac diff was implying anyway. Dumb decision imo to couple app logic to the operator, but fine. With the broken yaml templating we just haven't been updating the cilium operator invisibly since january so it was way behind. Walking through our steps again we eventually noticed that hey the operator isn't updating even though there is definitely a definition for it in what we k apply. Then we found the bad templating.

We were....severely behind on patches when I took over, they would only approve critical security patches because That One Time a Microsoft Patch broke something Six Years Ago. Rebuilt wsus, changed the patching process to “if it shows up in wsus as needed, it gets approved,” and hammered everyone into compliance with a monthly patching cycle. It took six months of patching to get everything rolled out, since I didn’t want to go whole hog with all of them at once. There have been a couple of times here and there where we skipped monthly patching, but that was primarily due to a very high level of risk due to a bug or known issue in that month’s patch set

I just got my first IT job, working at a tier 1 help desk. I'd been studying for Net+, but I figured this would be a helpful experience that would get a foot in the door of the industry, considering I just got my A+ in June. That said, I'm extremely nervous. I feel like all you ever hear from help desk jobs is how awful they are. It'll probably be a temporary thing for me, and I'll still study for the rest of the CompTIA trifecta, but I still worry I'm going to instantly hate it.

Honestly, helpdesk's awfulness is overblown I feel and depends on the company you're working at. I've done helpdesk at places where if I was paid more it'd be down right pleasant, but I've found that a lot of IT dudes get into IT without having people skills or at least the ability to fake them and do the "UGH I HATE PEOPLE" schtick while working in what is primarily a service oriented occupation. edit: Certainly as a permanent career choice its probably lovely just on the pay ceiling basis, but as a place to get some money and study for certs it certainly beats digging ditches by a long shot. edit2: I feel that smaller company(less than 100 people) help desk might be the golden job for entry level dudes, because you end up doing everything instead of just being "did you restart your computer?" guy so you end up getting a ton of experience in various different places.

The poorly planned and implemented HyperV servers I inherited when starting this job have an uptime approaching 1500 days. They're 7 years old, which means they've been up for more than half their lives. I'm really looking forward to migrating everything to a proper esxi cluster in a couple months and then accidentally dropping these R320s down a flight of stairs, or off a roof, or into the river. As the old joke goes, it'll be A Dell, Rolling in the Deep.

Holy poo poo that might have been my best ever phone interview, hit it off super well with the hiring manager, he appreciated the tangents I can't stop myself from going off on when I'm excited about the topic, and he said he expects his employees to work no more than 40 hours a week. I shouldn't get so attached to a potential job before the technical interview, but it sounds absolutely amazing.

Thanatosian posted:We're switching vendors for some documents we provide to our customers online. Our previous vendor provided the documents as individual .pdf files that we import into our document management system using an index file with metadata that includes the file name. The new vendor provides a single PDF with metadata and the number of pages per document (think csv with customernumber,customername,documentdate,#ofpages). I've seen a PDF Command Line tool called PDFtk before; is anyone familiar with that or another open-source/proprietary command line PDF tool? I haven't worked with one before, and it's hard to pick out scams from legitimate software when you're just Googling. I know this is a bit late, but I've used the PSWritePDF powershell module to split some PDFs. It seemed to work okay.

It was the out of band management network at our lovely colo and only accessible over VPN but not exactly ideal lol. The hardware was loving ancient Brocade garbage that I think was end of life when my old boss originally bought and deployed it second hand from god knows where. Don’t have to reboot equipment for security patching if the vendor doesn’t still publish updates! Checkmate, infosec dweebs  It felt real good to throw those all in the metaphorical dumpster.
