mystes posted:Imagine you have a book that has text at multiple indent levels (call them indent level 1, indent level 2, etc.) and you have paragraph styles for each indent level. Imagine you also have a paragraph style that applies a border (ignoring the fact that using paragraph borders sucks in word for various reasons). i didn't actually try to do this yet, but i think you would have to just set up separate styles for the separate styled things. i don't think there's a way to make variable substyles, but i could be wrong. this is where you start to get into very niche things where you might as well use some form of tex or something.

mystes posted:Wasn't that not actually true? It's half-right. FB's DNS resolver got all hosed up and stopped publishing BGP updates. This also broke their Active Directory authentication which meant doors, computer access, and even access to FB's internal communication tools. So apparently the SREs were using linkedin and poo poo to message each other. Pushing the BGP update would have been easy to do manually, except nobody could log into the right servers because of the AD issue. Also their VPN was busted because their DNS records all got unpublished from the internet. Nobody could physically get to the right servers because door access was also tied into AD. This was also during COVID times, so employees were all scattered to the four winds and FB's offices were empty. I think it took them awhile to get ahold of somebody who had physical keys to the right server room, and then a while longer to unfuck everything.

Somehow our install at work has PDF bookmarks turned off by default and it's maddening. Just firing 70 page+ technical docs out to customers that are one long section, extremely cool

as someone who doesn't know a lot about network stuff i'm curious if there is a known good way to mitigate that BGP paradox when you have a large area of network space. hard connections to important servers? guessing it's not a problem that comes up often

But if you want to manage a lot of complex connections without error, you need to let computers analyze the network and create the BGP advertisements themselves. Hard coding anything leaves room for mistakes, including conflicting advertisements or incorrect advertisements because someone forgot a manual step somewhere (such as making sure a manually inserted rule is relevant). So what's the next best thing? Getting people to sign off on manual changes or important automatic changes. Write tools that can help detect bad changes. Maybe other procedural controls. But they all pale in comparison to a good disaster plan that actually gets put into practice more often than once in a blue moon. Microsoft once forgot to renew the registration for hotmail.com. Countless services forgot to renew SSL certificates. Evidence of fallen DNS servers manifest in myriad ways. OVH burned half of an entire data center. Domestic terrorists attempted to destroy an AWS AZ. Lightning storms damaged an Azure data center. Disaster prevention is good, but disaster recovery is a must.

For quite a while, you could also get an oreilly ebook for free/cheap if you'd already bought a physical copy from anywhere. The proof they wanted? The ISBN, which is easy to look up for any book.
