gently caress me I do not miss doing bottom tier desktop support. I've been on the phone for 2 hours just trying to get this poor soul to allow me some sort of remote connection; teamviewer, quick assist, loving anything for the love of god PLEASE. This is like "I don't know what a start menu, or the internet, or a folder" level support. Fuckkkkkkkk. And it's all because I know for a fact that they're not entering the vpn address correctly.

Sigh, this reminds me about working with armored car companies which have to automatically send us files with ATM and deposits info via [REDACTED CHEAPO SYNC SOFTWARE]. Their "server" which I suspect is an Optiplex GX270 with swollen capacitors because its up and down like a whore's underwear, keeps dropping the connection and we have to delete and recreate the channel. I call them because email is NOT working. Me: ok, so, enter the following IP and port in the application to recreate the channel. Monkian: hurh? Me: ok, so no, how about you click on the link I sent you so you recreate and authenticate the channel automatically. Monkian: no email. Me: Webex it is... Monkian: *grunt* What is werbex? WTF Brinks, did you grab your security guard and ask them to HANDLE this?!

We eventually successful. It took a gently caress long time but I walked him through connecting to his phone hotspot (because he has a 10mbps internet) then following a link to Teamviewer, downloading and running the installer, then reading off the numbers and password to me. That part only took like 3 hours. Once connected I opened the vpn software and told him to type in the address letter for letter as I read it off to him and he still hosed it up like 6 times. I gave up and typed it myself. I mean being completely technologically illiterate is one thing, but not being able to hear letters, then identify them on a keyboard in front of you, then touch each one of those letters in the order that they are read to you is a whole other frustrating problem.

Has anyone heard of SADA? They have a job posting in my area for a cloud engineer, but it says "Trainee" despite requiring either a GCP cert or getting one in the first 45 days and a decent amount of experience, so I'm not sure if they're just calling it a trainee position in hopes of getting someone who really wants a move (like me) to take way below market pay. Never heard of the company before.

Never heard of the company before. Being a "trainee" is without a doubt a job that is trying to exploit you. Its a place that is wanting college age workers to pay them next to nothing with crazy hours. A quick googling of them leads me to believe that assessment is pretty spot on. NovaLion posted:Are A+/Net+ valuable for the hiring process to get into data analytics, or should I look straight ahead to MS Azure Data Science Associate? Data analytics isn't something you get a cert for. To be honest all the data analytics people I know are lifelong academics. I also get the impression its a smaller community than a lot of the other parts of our industry. Sickening fucked around with this message at 01:26 on Aug 21, 2020 |

Yeah, maybe they astroturfed the Glassdoor reviews. I'd say it's also possible the employees don't know what a good work environment looks like but college aged kids also tend to still believe the myth of the 40 hour work week and businesses taking care of you so I'd think that would come up.

So once again we find ourselves on the train careening down the track approaching the lever to pull that makes it either run over one person or fly off a cliff onto a dynamite factory and the train CEO goes well hold on we should really put some effort into finding out if the one guy we might run over is the one who could cure cancer

I'm being migrated over to the GIS dept to fix up their infrastructure except I know jack poo poo about these products from ESRI for ArcGIS. The only thing I know is they want this thing to be HA and the part that has me confused about a best practice is the shared content folder for Portal servers and one of the datastores which is not a database has a big rear end F drive with 200GB of map poo poo. Most of the documentation I've been reading has been 10,000 ft level like, oh just setup two portal servers and give them a smb share, and they can't spare me a support account. I was thinking about on our NAS to go with \\arcgis\ for the root folder and then having two subfolders one for the portal shared content and one for the datastore so \\arcgis\sharedcontent and \\arcgis\datastore1. Or should I do 2 smb shares to avoid being turbofucked later in some way as they want this thing to be HA as possible. I would love any newbie videos/books/sites/blogs recommendations. Searching on google just keeps bringing me back to ESRI's content.

Any of you guys doing some kind of out of band IPS for your cloud networks? We've been using Palo Alto's in a transit gateway architecture for AWS and GCP ever since I came onboard and built it, but centralized firewalling just feels very out of place with cloud workloads. We have instances in both clouds and GKE clusters in GCP, and everything uses our transit gateways for east-west /north communication. I currently don't have intra-VPC/intra-GKE inspection which the devs know, so some of them have started consolidating their services within single networks in order to get around security, or they build it in GKE (GCP was considered the dev playground for a long time and we have only recently started making groundwork on tightening security there) Ideally what I'm thinking is traffic mirroring every instance to a NLB which feeds into Palos for IPS. If anything is more than an alert, we can action it with something like a socless playbook to generate a blocking outbound SG until security can review the incident. Sounds great in theory though, not sure if it would make sense in production. There's also the other hangup that our transit gateways I am really the sole owner, if I got hit by a bus no one would know how to unwind this poo poo. We're using FRR instances to manage routing before the Palo's and avoid SNAT. It's such a fringe app that even with my detailed documentation they would struggle to support it.

Sorry, these people SHOULD know how MX records work because they are migrating clients to O365 and/or modifying the MX records. Obviously if your job is not to do DNS stuff or work with mail because you're a dev, PM or whatever else that has nothing to do with ever modifying DNS, then I don't expect you to know.

I can’t believe this company seems to be ghosting me. Three interviews and one on site, all seemed to go super well, I pretty much fit their requirements and the two managers seemed pretty excited. Time comes to hear back about an offer and just nothing. Hr lady said I’d hear from her on Tuesday or Wednesday. I’ve sent her an email each day and tried calling a couple times and am being avoided lol. What the gently caress happened... I’ve never been this far into the process and have a company not at least tell me they decided to go another route. I mean who knows maybe something crazy happened, but an email takes 10 seconds. If this is how they reject people then I guess I’ll be glad I’m not working for them.

I mean I’ve had jobs that take forever and normally wouldn’t really be concerned at 4 days waiting, HR set my expectations as way earlier this week which kinda started making me anxious. I’ve been ghosted plenty but not really at this step.

I think losing our non-signature and sandboxing threat functionality might be too much of an ask and we'll end up just deploying IDS for intra-VPC/intra-GKE monitoring and continue to let the palo's be our inter-network enforcers. My idea of removing inline network security is a pipe dream

I'm 2 years in at this point, and am wondering if my time would be better spent on getting certs.
