I’ve just discovered that the cloud based system we use to store all our salary and competency information doesn’t have a certificate. I don’t want to rock the boat but I’m blown away they think this is acceptable practice. Would it be a problem at all if they put that information on a public facing web page, open to anyone who wanted to see it? Would it be a problem if you accidentally sent the information to the wrong person? If no, then it's lazy. If yes, it's a liability and has to be fixed. Not only do you need to remediate this problem, you need some kind of process to prevent this and empower you to put a halt to unsafe practices.

Does anyone know if its possible to do a straight swap out of the Java 8 JRE with the Open JDK version? Trying to figure out a way to not spend 10's of thousands on Oracle Licensing.

SamEyeAm posted:I’m not sure. I don’t have a lot of tech undergrad credits currently, but I will look into that. Is WGU an especially respectable college in the tech world, or just one you’re familiar with? I went back for a second degree and I did it at WGU. It's a good school IMO and can help you learn. I don't particularly think having a degree got my foot in the door anywhere but if you want a degree I'd say WGU is solid for a lot of reasons. 1. If you are focused, you can finish quickly. When you pay, you aren't paying per course. You are paying for a term, and if you can complete 3 courses or 6 courses, you pay the same amount. 2. Their online resources are much better than the online resources of more traditional universities. 3. Most of the classes have a final exam where passing means earning a certification. By the time I was done I had some javascript certs, an A+, MCSA, MCST, CCNA, and others. This is all baked into the cost of the term. That being said, all online learning you get out what you put in. You could absolutely pass the class and learn little to nothing, or you could actually take the time to learn quite a bit. WGU is a bit pricey, but I'm pretty glad I ended up going.

Is there anything anyone didn't like about WGU? It almost sounds too good to be true. Does the college have any industry connections? Or are you on your own once you graduate?

You definitely don't need to talk to them every week but they insist on it.

For every other function they were basically useless or a hindrance. You definitely don't need to talk to them every week but they insist on it. Yep, I didn't really care for the mentors either. I never found them useful, but it was once a week for an hour or probably less. And as far as industry connections, I'm honestly not sure. If they did, I didn't use that part. Maybe if I had used that mentor a bit more I'd know? So, I was on my own when I graduated, but I did have a bunch of shiny certs to put on my job applications. In my interviews I usually found my certs generated a lot of interest. My experience wasn't that an employer assumed I had a bunch of knowledge based on having the cert, but that I had an interest in learning and the followthrough to get the cert. Anyway, WGU was great for me. But like I said you absolutely have to make it worth it yourself. There isn't a professor checking attendance or anything, and technically, you could download a cert dump to pass the class, so keep that in mind. The closest they have to someone keeping an eye on you is your mentor, who you talk to once a week and tell them how you think you're doing. They have a ton of great resources, so if you are going to spend the money you should use it. Their library is also pretty baller, and I got free copies of like Windows Server and stuff that I used to make a lab. Also, you get Lynda.com through it, and they had some pretty decent learning material. And if you're wondering if people know or care WGU is online, most people don't know, and nobody I've known has ever thought it was a detriment. You can compare WGU to other online colleges, and its clear there is a quality difference between it and some of other more well known online colleges. (For example, its a nonprofit university, as opposed to a for profit one). eonwe fucked around with this message at 03:48 on Jul 23, 2020 |

Mentors are hit or miss, mine is a nice grandmotherly lady who knows I’m trying to finish it in 1 year and helps me schedule accordingly. My buddy’s mentor for network and security was not as good and he had to fight with their boss to let him complete at a fast pace.

Do windows registry files always merge? I we wrote a thing at work that generates SSH sessions for our servers for iTerm, sshconfig, SecureCRT, and putty using Ansible and jinja templates so our users can generate them on the fly. The putty procedure generates a .reg file. We have options to generate some of the sessions split by client or just blast all of them. So I guess I'm wondering if they do a client after all if it will blow away all?

Someone school me on IaC options, Terraform/Ansible/CloudFormation/etc. What's the best one for me to get started with in terms of applicability assuming I'm working with AWS, have a background in C++, Java, C#, and a tiny bit of JS, but expect to need to learn a new language, and want to get up and running quick?

Short answer: terraform. Longer answer: These tools all do similar but different things. Ansible asks the most of you but gives you the most back. Ansible can use both Terraform and CloudFormation for you as well. Terraform is definitely the simplest. Terraform can also use CloudFormation for you. CloudFormation as an AWS service is a little harder to compare to the other two, but you should use it when it makes sense to do so (pretty much all the time, regardless of any other tooling).

Yeah following Terraform with Ansible is the way to go. You should be doing little to no usage of terraform's provision feature. All that should be done with ansible (and you can possibly use the provision function to bootstrap ansible). Our terraform routines generate ansible inventories for us automatically.

In particular the final -%} removed a newline character after the line itself. What that meant was the document separator was no longer on its own line and rendered to secretName: cilium-etcd-secrets--- Somehow, the effect of this isn't that you have an invalid manifest you're trying to post to k8s, but the following document after the bad document separator is just ignored. So for 7 months we had this time bomb that just blew up today

The expectation of overseeing bug fixes for my portion of a web development project (which I did not have experience in prior to this project) over the course of a single week, while at the same time being expected to participate fully a multi-day intern hackathon during that same week, is killing me. It is even worse when I am given a sizeable set of bugs to fix, on Thursday at 6 PM, after I'd explained multiple times that the Hackathon would be taking up my time and that I am not permitted to work over 37.5 hours. Also, the bug reports are a series of images and captions on an excel spreadsheet which are instead expressing the observed behavior and not clearly indicating which are bugs. I was advised to ask my two other coworkers on the project for help, one of whom is like me in not having experience prior to this project on web development and is awash in his own bugs, and the other who already complained to me once about "wasting his time" with my inexperience-related errors.

Yeah this is some bullshit. We’re on the safe/agile framework train and each developer team sets aside a dev on rotation to handle break/fix issues so the rest of the team can focus on sprint items. Talk to your team and manager about process improvements.

Talk to your team and manager about process improvements. I've started mentioning them, but I'm concerned that my relatively new status (technically still an intern for another month) will make me seem like an upstart or like I'm trying to deflect responsibility. But my god, the process of this project was a mess. No Test-Driven Development, no automated testing, no real onboarding for how to work with ASP.Net except on the job by asking the person who maybe dislikes me because I ask so many questions and get things wrong, requirements being vague and not always explicit, the whole thing has been a mess. It's everything my QA class says not to do. We've gotten a lot of heat because we've kept having to ask for extensions, and I think sometimes we feel under pressure to give more optimistic estimates, or else because we don't know enough to know how much more work needs to get done, which makes it worse. But what do you expect when you're rebuilding a financial services application in an entirely new environment, with piecemeal (if at all) documentation on the original, two of the three developers having no prior experience and no formal training in it, and none of us able to devote our attention full-time to it? Ugh.

I got switched over to a different one, and after getting buried in work for a bit, I missed three consecutive weekly checkins and she completely unenrolled me from everything and basically booted me out of the school, saying I'd have to reapply to get back in. 100% hosed. If you go the WGU route, it's fine and good and an amazing value, but if your mentor doesn't seem totally chill and easy to work with, just ask change to another one. They will grant the request.

I like making switches and routers silent for my office. I bought a big copper passive 1U heat sink and then cut holes in the lid for a 120mm noctua fan. It makes the device a 2U device because now the fan on top takes up another Rack unit, but the silence is worth it. You can also cut holes on the side for undervolted 40mm fans and mount the chassis vertically on a wall, allowing heat to draw air up the case.
