Just had to do a test Skype meeting with a Council member. I heard the words "Why can't I see you" and I gulped. I didn't have any presentable thing I could show him and I don't have a green screen. Hell I don't even have an office. I'm just set up with a pile of electronics on my grandma's antique dining table and a half busted office chair I scored from a dumpster 6 or 7 years ago. I had to bite the bullet and present video of my shitheap of an unfinished basement complete with extension cable running from the water heater plug because I don't have power (or even walls) anywhere. Also there's the matter of personal appearance. I didn't exactly put on a suit for the occasion, but it's chilly down here so at least I was wearing pants. He was gracious and commented on how he was impressed with my desk setup; antique brass lamp, large diaphragm mic and boom, decent usb audio interface etc... He didn't say anything about the fishing poles or piles of gun cases in the corner.. or piles of boxes, or stacks of speakers and amps, or giant empty server rack, or clearly unused sports equipment, boxes of cat 6, bins of cables, IP phones, buckets of cherry logs, you get the idea; basement poo poo. Then he turned on his video and I felt much better about myself. We're all human after all.

No messages. I can't say that they're hiring but I know DataRobot does a lot of kubes poo poo and have been hiring until recently (but that's true for everyone). There's a guy in YOSPOS who works for them.

I’m in San Antonio but I work remote jobs. I’m upset but I’m not as bad off as most people. I’ve got some severance and emergency fund and I’m still healthy so I’ve got that going for me. Just sucks cause I figure it’ll be a few months before anyone starts hiring again. Guess I’ll start drinking

Does anyone have a good mechanism to daisy-chain batch programs in windows? I have four scheduled tasks that currently run one at a time over the course of an hour, every hour. I'd like to optimize the work flow a bit more so that The first one fires, then when it completes two tasks fire simultaneously, and then the fourth task completes when both have completed.  Anyone have an easy way to achieve this without having to combine and/or rewrite four script files?

They dump log entries into a database. But they don't produce log files.

I was in the bathroom reflecting on my last half-roll of toilet paper I thought of what the actual problem was with a total non-sense network issue I was having. I was having ephemeral port exhaustion with one particular microservice which is both, because Golang, ridiculously aggressive about opening a ton of sockets(and not reusing them?) each to a ton of kafka brokers and doesn't bubble up errors well.

Agrikk posted:Does anyone have a good mechanism to daisy-chain batch programs in windows? A) are you amenable to adding a few lines to the end of script 1 and the beginning of script 4? B) I might be wrong on this, it's been a while since I've made batch scripts, but you should be able to have the first script call the last three at the end, then have the fourth script wait until both 2 and 3 aren't in the task or process list, depending on where they show up (this is where I'm foggy on how batch scripts work, like I said I've barely touched them since 2016, and even then it was mainly a wrapper to get around psexec being locked down on the machines I needed to work on) before running. Edit: Or if you didn't want to edit the existing scripts, you could write a wrapper Powershell script that calls the batch files, but that's assuming you can have it pipe some sort of output from the batch files into the Powershell script, then you do the wait (approximate amount of time you expect 2 and 3 to take) before running 4 so you don't have it hanging around for longer than needed, then another short wait if the piped output from both 2 and 3 isn't there yet, looped of course. That's also assuming that you can run a batch file from a Powershell file asynchronously and still get it to pipe in the output when it's done. Which I think you can, but it's been a long time since I've done much with Powershell either. Sorry if these ideas are dumb, I'm sleep deprived. 22 Eargesplitten fucked around with this message at 02:53 on Apr 4, 2020 |

I believe you can write to and read text files from batch? If so, use an output as a variable and end both Task B and Task C with the same thing. Some batch equivalent of if Number == 0 ( Number = 1 end ) if Number == 1 ( Number = 0 execute task D end ) Then it doesn't matter which script finishes first, and it's always back to 0 when it's done. klosterdev fucked around with this message at 03:22 on Apr 4, 2020 |

Methanar posted:The joke is that I was exhausting my ephemeral port while thinking about ephemeral ports You open a random hole on your body when you need to exhaust?  That's...quite the trick - you might be able to teach Mr. Johnson ( ) a thing or two. In other news: https://citizenlab.ca/2020/04/move-fast-roll-your-own-crypto-a-quick-look-at-the-confidentiality-of-zoom-meetings/ Zoom...rolled their own crypto. Not only that, they did the thing where they get paid a bunch of money and then turn around and pay a couple Chinese companies to do the work, so the key escrow for meetings is sometimes done through Chinese servers.  I had been kind of defending Zoom because of the ease and quality of the videoconferencing even after the Mac webserver backdoor thing last year and even when last week everyone went nuts about it not actually being end to end encrypted and only TLS encrypted for transport (I hadn't expected it to be end to end anyway given the demands of videoconferencing and I'm somewhat surprised that apparently Apple has end to end working with group Facetime), but, uh, even the encryption Zoom DOES have is poo poo and can be easily intercepted and eavesdropped on. Everything is stupid.

my internet went out 2 hours after i went to bed at 9am. spent almost all day troubleshooting. the cable modem was fine, the router worked and said it was getting signal. spent hours on the phone with my ISP and the modem manufacturer. hours of sleep lost. randomly thought of unplugging one CAT5 that went to a raspberrypi that serves as my NAS immediately fixed everything. unbelievable. but now my raspberrypi has some kinda seg fault on the sd card. and then my wife says her cell phone is broken, cycling between 'looking for signal' and 'no SIM card' i've spent more time today troubleshooting my personal tech support than i've done so far tonight. patching, on the other hand, went fine tonight, no chaos in the DC or the NOC. the world has officially gone insane
