My computer monitor (a CRT back then) distorted like someone put an electromagnet on the side and my speakers made a high-pitched squealing noise until I turned them off. Computer was fine oddly enough.

I was at my computer when I was in my parents house, lightning struck the pole about 15' from my window, blinded me for a couple seconds, that pole also had the cable lines, that's the day I learned that comcast did not insulate their modems (this was ~15-16 years ago), it fried the modem, the router, and the NICs in 4 different computers, the computers were fine other than that though thank god.

I had a house down the street from our rental house when I was at uni get hit by lightning and take the roof off, which also managed to fry our phone line, VDSL filter, modem, router, switch and a PC. HP / Apple / BT replaced all of their respective things which was nice, I was only out for the cost of a NIC.

Vulture Culture posted:ARM's a big improvement, but the split where you still have to do things in both portals, along with the general awfulness of the experience deploying custom images, makes Azure a hard recommendation for anyone outside majority-MS shops. It seems to be getting better quickly, but it's just an insanely complicated product compared to AWS or Google Cloud Platform. There's an incredibly small subset of actions that need to be take in the old portal. Image deployment would be easier with a GUI but you've probably already scripted that out anyhow.

That's loving dumb anyway. Currency is a store of value that can be used at any time, instead of a direct exchange of goods and services. If I do an hours worth of labor I don't want to immediately take possession of 24 dozen eggs in exchange.

That's literally what the gently caress money is. It looks like that website was dreamed up by one of the three people who don't know that. I work for an hour. That gives me the units which I then exchange for various goods and services. Some jobs get more units than others due to higher skillset or higher demands. These units, we could call them so many things, but just spitballing here, why don't we call them money.

22 Eargesplitten posted:DevOps people: how do I get into that? Also, do most places really just use it as a buzzword without knowing what it means, or is that standard goon hyperbole? As noted, DevOps is one of those ephemeral things that companies like to hop onto bandwagons about. Used properly, e.g. you have IT embedded in each area of the business specifically for operating needs/projects/what-have-you that interfaces with the main trunk of IT within set guidelines, it's a great and very powerful tool. Most companies, however, seem to think DevOps is a way to save money by paying administrative assistant who's good with Word to manage the IT for an entire division of a company. No joke, about two years ago, I was approached to help sort out the mess at a company who did this. One division was basically living in the 1980s while the rest of the company was in the early 2000s to the 2010's, depending on division. The bad division had their IT "managed" by the Division Presidents' admin, and he basically used it as his own power trip. I gave them the review they wanted, but apparently it died in politicking after I left. The DP thought that his technology program was "best in class" and threatened the board with a significant drop in revenue and profit from his division if they went with the suggestions I had laid out. I had honestly forgotten about it until lunch in Vegas a month ago, where a friend told me that he had done the same thing for that company, and was apparently the fifth such consultant that had given them more or less the same "this poo poo is wrong and should be fixed" report..

It's also what you get when you fire your IT staff and make the developers do tech support for your marketing and finance people. What's that, sales guy, you clicked on a link in a blatantly fake email and now your powerpoint presentation is hiding behind thousands of cocks on your desktop? Sure, I'll stop writing code and get that fixed for you. Cost efficient AND a great way to retain developers!

Chickenwalker posted:I bet this is a really dumb question, but is it possible to dictate a client's routing based on group policy? For instance, we have three physically distinct networks. One has to stay physically segregated because it can only tolerate certain traffic, but the other two aren't as sensitive. Still, we want to limit who has access to what. Certain machines need to be segregated from the open internet while retaining access to servers while for other machines the exact opposite is true, and shades of grey in between. It would be relatively straightforward to modify's a hosts route table with a simple script but this might get iffy depending on complexity.

The easiest way to handle that is to put the machines in different subnets and apply ACLs to control the traffic flowing between them.

Not sure how I got stumped on a basic networking question this morning but when I'm apply an ACL between two networks do I need to include the ephemeral ports? Example Example, AD on is the Backend Network and I'm trying to limit the amount of exposure. Would I create a rule to allow things like 123,135,464,etc to allow INBOUND from Frontend on the Backend Network but would I additionally allow 1024-65535 Outbound to Frontend?

Just allow related/established traffic and let the router handle that for you (permit tcp any any established) Edit: or use a reflexive ACL? Sheep fucked around with this message at 16:24 on Aug 15, 2016 |

I have been. Nobody wants to hire someone with no Bachelor's degree or professional experience in coding. That's part of why I have been scripting repetitive work. The other part is not wanting to do the same thing over and over on 30-40 computers. I haven't applied to any since I got my AS, maybe that will help. I might also have to move to Boulder, the job market there is way better for entry level positions. I want to stay at this place for at least a year, though. I've never been at a job that long. 22 Eargesplitten fucked around with this message at 17:40 on Aug 15, 2016 |

Yeah. One job I had to bail on at 11 months because I was really overworked while also going to school, one contract didn't get renewed at 9 months, and the 2 non-IT jobs both shut their doors after 2 months. I guess 11 months is pretty close to a year, and a contract ending isn't my fault, but it still looks bad.

Python.org's Tutorial is decent for wrapping your head around the basics. After that just have the Library Reference open in another window (you want section 11 for file manipulation, for example) until you get the hang of things.
