it was so bad. it had some terrible java client for managing it, except it didnt actually change the DHCP settings. it changed some other file that it only reads when the service starts. Any time you changed anything - or deleted leases, which we had to do constantly because the pools would get full all the time, even with 1 hour adaptive leases - you had to restart the service... which wouldn't be a big deal except for whoever set them up in failover just enabled the failover button and didnt read any documentation. The databases would get out of sync and then one of the servers just wouldn't hand out any leases for like an hour because of whatever was configured. I only just managed to migrate us away from them in December. Those servers are still running too. They were our file servers too and they're still using some eDirectory poo poo. The leases for the iLOs are 3 days. I could jam it up to 10 days so any actual downtime doesn't become a problem. Thanks Ants posted:Static your routers, the DHCP servers themselves, and your DCs. Pretty much everything else can work off reservations. almost everything has a static. All 400 printers, most of our APs, boiler systems, etc.

Statics for anything in a datacenter with a matching dhcp reservation. Netboot by default (which uefi makes a huge pain in the rear end). Best of all worlds. Means your dhcp service being down doesn't require an immediate reaction alarm. And if your server reboots it gets a chance to check in to see if it should be reimaged.

I'm super confused, are folks just running massive broadcast domains and requiring the DHCP server have a presence in that segment? I though DHCP relay was a common pattern.

Are we no longer recommending assigning static addresses to server including domain controllers because that sounds dangerous? I know once we had contractor plug a router in the wrong way, it took us over a day to find where it was on an entire campus and brought the whole network down.

I want there to be a study on this subject. You'd assume that societal issues with embarrassment over poo poo would force people into at least muting their mics when they're not talking. I don't mind if your kids are having a fist fight in the background, just shut your goddamn mic off when you're not actively talking and no one will notice.

No, the DHCP are in our data centres on two server subnets. The devices were on the management subnet at each data centre. We have 60 other sites that relay to these two DHCP servers.

Someone needs to test teams if it notifies the person you mute who muted them. Multiple times per month I have meetings where one coworker invariably forgets and is crinkling poo poo or ham-fistedly pounding their keyboard unmuted, or worse, dramatically sighing as they're told something/corrected about something. I need to know I can mute them and have them not know...

I ruthelessly mute people in meetings I am in, and tell people upfront I will be doing that. So far, I've muted my boss and my bosses boss without them commenting on it. My bosses bosses boss mutes themselves all the time, so I haven't done it to them yet.

There is this weird legal precedent about making banner messages so someone can't "I didn't know I couldn't do that" when they comprimise a login or something. Its old as gently caress and probably doesn't apply anymore but ya. Its more boomer infosec poo poo.

My company had a spiff program where you'd get points that you could redeem for merch or gift certificates. Like your manager would give you 150 points for dealing with a nasty Sev1 or peers could reward each other for "teamwork". Only took six months before it turned into some kind of inter-company, black market currency. Consultants would call Support reps and say, "If you take care of this as a priority for me, I'll give you 350 points", and poo poo like that. Or you'd have people rewarding 100 points to co-workers like "Brad brought in doughnuts for the team! He makes working here so much better." That lasted about a year and it was hut down.

I know that last sentence was a typo, but I'm just imagining a points black market run by Jabba the Hut now. Edit: A company I worked for had a similar system, where you were given "coins" like actual physical coins by management. You could then trade them in for things like gift cards to amazon/etc. When I left, I was trading in all my coins for an Amazon gift card and when I tried to redeem the email, it said it had already been claimed. The HR person had emailed it to herself and redeemed it to her own personal account in "confusion" and I had to march down to HR on my last week to walk her through how to actually send me the loving money before I would sign off on having redeemed the coins.

I’ve only see those programs die slowly as no one bothered to engage with them because it isn’t worth any time investment. At least in your case it accomplished something, even if it was a corporate black market built on yeti mugs and ogio backpacks.

We have a thing at our bimonthly "State of the Office meeting" one dude gets like a 50$ gift card to amazon based on employee votes, and you're not allowed to win twice I am in a bloc that contains ~30% of the company and votes lockstep, and somehow we've not managed to get one win yet over ten of these meetings.

I got a call today from a recruiter for BIG EVIL CORP. I interviewed for a random vp level position of EVIL CORP (where everyone is a vp) in November and talks froze. He came out of the blue today and said everything is unfrozen as of friday. Supposedly I have a final interview on Tuesday with boss and team. It also seems that my background check and everything was already done (which is odd because I don't remember filling an auth out for that one) so this might be a formality. I haven't had a recruiter call me on a saturday in forever and I am also new to BIG EVIL CORP level of anonymity. Is anyone else's Feburary linkedin inbox going loving nuts?

We have this and people actually use it as intended to show appreciation for the most part. You get 750pts to dole out monthly and the clock resets on the 1st. Not me though, I have a monthly points buddy that we just swap whatever’s left in our balance.

I’m not even “open for work” on LinkedIn and I’m getting a bunch of recruiter spam. Chalked it up to being three months into my new SRE role. I’d be tempted to do the two job thing but I’m actually like, having to put in real effort these days and don’t need more of that. My favourite are the recruiters hitting me up for team lead, senior SRE, and management roles. I’m 25 my dudes, let me get a biiiit more emotional maturity please and thanks.
