That's an awful disposal method with way too many artifacts left over upon completion Tidier is to just use the hard drive shredder. New page, so: A ticket came in from a research hardware vendor troubleshooting their lovely device on one of my client's lab networks. It creates an outbound VPN to the vendor's office through an embedded little router/ipsec device. It thus has an address in vendor's network space.  "Hey can you ping xyz device at [ip address in vendor's network] from your researcher's laptop?" "I sure as hell hope not."

Dr. Arbitrary posted:Straw poll, only comment if the answer is Agree or Strongly Agree: No, because every project I take on is using a new technology for me. I guess as long as I could still use github's search/readthedocs/the project documentation, or find the technologies in the first place I could but it's still a big step backwards. Like I spent several hours yesterday fighting with TCL, that would have gone absolutely nowhere without some elaborate google searching

Agree. Most of the things I've had to fix are weird one-offs that no one else encountered in the wild, but I won't pretend that a huge part of what I've learned wasn't a result of reverse engineering the work of someone else.

Agree. But I'd be loving miserable. The times I've had to troubleshoot some ancient end of life software with no documentation have been super frustrating. It's rewarding when you figure things out but the process sucks the life out of you.

I'm not sure how or why Cylance is blocking execution of all .vbs files but by God it is and it is ever annoying. It really doesn't like visual basic is what I'm learning. Which will be a problem once we roll it out to everyone, ugh.

Unfortunately. It's rebranded as VB.net now but it's still the same VB we all know and hate.

MANime in the sheets posted:How does that work? You resolve the merge conflict (e.g. https://help.github.com/articles/resolving-a-merge-conflict-using-the-command-line/)and move on with your life. Any version control with branching and merging will do this, typically without any impact to the end developer if the changes aren't in the same place, and build servers will ensure that even if you don't cleanly merge you'll know about it promptly. This has been a solved problem for decades before I started working at that place, they were just stuck in the past.

A contextless ticket came in from sales.quote:Same Problems today. We respond within 1 hour, of course, so he's full of poo poo, but that's not my problem. My problem is that this is the second ticket from sales where they've referred to it as a 'tick' and I'm genuinely concerned that this is going to become a thing.

Got a client with a weird issue on their juniper network equipment. We inform clients on what ports need to be forwarded for our software and leave it up to their network people to make the changes on their end. For some reason this one clients Juniper is replacing the public IP on inbound packets with the gateways IP and changing the source to say the gateway as well (10.10.1.1). If I telnet to a tcp port that is forwarded to the server with our software traces show the source as the gateway and SIP packets to the server have the public IP changed in the to,from,c= etc.. so it all shows 10.10.1.1. And of course their network people maintain this is how port forwarding works on all routers and they say nothing is wrong.

Thanks Ants posted:Somebody is NATing it This is the most likely answer, I know it's pretty easy to do with a fortigate firewall when creating rules if you're not paying attention, not sure about other firewalls since I've never had occasion to log into one.

I wish I could share this e-mail with the thread because it makes no loving sense. Customer is stating that there's a major security breach because their modem has a...public IP address? And they want a private IP instead? And they're dictating that it can't fall in the 10.x.x.x or the 192.168.254.x range? Also fix it immediately but also don't make any changes since it's going to have an impact on their services? Why is my department even involved since we're not a customer facing department? I need an adult. e: it reads as if someone who knows what they're doing ordered someone who doesn't know jack poo poo about networking to send this e-mail without proper context, explanations, or details. There's a very professional "what the gently caress is this" e-mail from my manager so I feel safe just ignoring it. Renegret fucked around with this message at 14:41 on Oct 1, 2017 |
