We can't update to the Chromium Edge version because a bunch of intranet sites use http with short non-FQDN URLs. We had to upgrade a group of people for a Salesforce project and now people are freaking out that our app sites are "insecure" and we need to use SSL with appropriate naming conventions. I told you that five years ago

Pissing me off: How limited the Azure trial is. 4 vCPUs for your entire trial? Am I missing something? I'm setting up an Exchange lab to show a friend how to administer Exchange and AD accounts and the guide says to use a VM type for the Exchange server with at least 4 vCPUs but I can't because the DC requires one. Sure hope it will install on 2 and not just choke, literally never done this before.

With a test environment you will likely never reach usage limitations. Azure is loving weird.

You don't need more than 2 vcpu for a test lab dc or exchange server and if you are shutting it down when you're not using it even paying for it isn't going to be much.

The "official" way to export anything out of mediawiki involves xml, if that gives you a sense of how painful the job is going to be. I guess the upside is they offer script examples to do it but it's in perl, which to me is just more evidence of how obsolete they are.

As someone whose literal job it is to interface between Support and Product Managers, I prefer both. I can get data and stories from our own employees, through the lens of people who are familiar with the product and are tired of taking X call for the Nth time. But with forum engagement I can also get traction from real actual customers about the problems they run into. It's a layman's view, but that's valuable in and of itself, as it can directly tie into our ability to sell the product, convert trials into purchases, etc. And a popular request is also probably something I can back up with data from support. And when the two align,

I installed MediaWiki at a job when I got sick of all the loving Word documents on the shared drive. First thing the sysadmins did was hack in a plugin so they could have a secret place just for themselves. Had to convince them to gently caress off with that. Later, somebody got tired of wiki markup and made a Google Site for documentation. We held a vote for which one to keep and it was 1 for MediaWiki, 2 for Google, and 50 who didn't care. So I just kept right on using my wiki while the Google Site ironically was impossible to search.

It’s always amusing to see the new comment notification emails. #1 on the Digital Ocean Idea Board is downloading a snapshot They'll just never implement this. They'll let an amateur implement a buggy new login screen but not spend the time on this. The topic has been discussed for over a half decade. My guess is they probably could not want to accidentally expose any proprietary bits, or make it "easier" for customers to hop to another datacenter provider.

To be fair, if you're putting anything into a cloud or vps provider that can't be recreated by running a script you already messed up.  Obviously the download feature should be there, but the actual benefit it would provide is pretty limited.

Can't blame them for not investing time and money into this particular convenience. I think it would be a gesture of convenience, if anything. They may be able to image the machine little faster from their side, anyway, but I'm pulling that guessumption of my rear end.

klosterdev posted:How do I keep getting so many cold calls for VoIP services I'm not even the phone guy why do scummy cold calls and VoIP always seem to come hand in hand I've worked for a VoIP provider for years, we tried diving heavily in to cold calling and such a few years back and it was a colossal failure. We picked up a lot of customers that we ended up losing within months because for whatever loving reason the salespeople couldn't get it through their heads that rural DSL will never not be terrible and that three phone accounts generally aren't profitable unless they "just work" with no meaningful support. We fired all the cold callers and went back to primarily word-of-mouth and customer referrals, which for the most part works out. devmd01 posted:Lmao yep, I’ve been subscribed to a feature request for Okta for two years with no traction.

People on my team asking me if things will “break” when they don’t understand the process. We use SSO with our Jenkins X environment, but it’s a community maintained plugin so we use IAP for authentication and SAML SSO for authorization and provisioning. Unfortunately that breaks logins initiated from the identity provider since you can’t follow the IAP redirect. the resolution is to initiate the login from Jenkins, so just hide the SSO login from users and use put a bookmark app on people’s okta dashboards that lets them log in. Tl;dr: one app hidden on the backend for auth/provisioning, another one visible to users that takes them to the login URL. My team lead asks me if things will “break” if a user is only assigned to one of the two, or if the login just won’t work. I have no idea what he means by break, and clearly neither does he, because I have no idea how a user that isn’t provisioned would break the application?? I’m mostly annoyed at this because my boss gave me a read our last one on one and used the word “assumptions”. I don’t make assumptions. I read the RFCs, I understand how Oauth protocols work, and I understand data flow. When I say how the technology works, that’s how it works. I’ve been consistently right for the past year I’ve been at this org and it’s frustrating that they still do not trust what is literally my expert opinion.

I feel your entire post, but I do take issue with not making assumptions. We all make assumptions every day. You assume a power button is going to work, a bit isn't going to randomly flip, that frameworks you use are still going to work properly, etc. And the only reason I point that out is because I have seen lovely bosses yell at people for making assumptions when the assumptions were entirely reasonable and expecting no one to make any assumptions about anything is absurd.

The Iron Rose posted:People on my team asking me if things will “break” when they don’t understand the process. I understand this use of the language "break" as a catch-all for when an issue of some type falls out of the scope of the expertise of the person reporting it. I generally try and understand what category the potential for something to "break" falls in, to cushion the usually-associated concern they have. I.e., is the concern about a visual discontinuity, workflow change, or just based on something from the past? When someone who I know doesn't have intimate knowledge of the system, the word "break" is usually associated with an anxiety, but if the person using the word is an engineer of the system, the word carries a tone of acceptance.

I've definitely dealt with weird assumptions. I can think of some example where my guy obviously wasn't sure what was going on and took a way wild stab in the dark. I think it was something along the lines of 'well what if this piece of cable randomly just stopped working, that could be it right?' I know I moan about the guy in the threads but I am probably (hopefully!) nicer IRL than my stream of consciousness griping on here. To me, the assumption seemed crazy but let's just work past that - I would be like 'well, let's make the assumption that won't be ok, where would you check next if you know that part is fine' my guy is used to me and generally gets the hint that we both know he is wrong and he needs to think a bit more, I let him try and I'll tell him if he is getting colder.

I see you're new to Jenkins  JenkinsX is a step in the right direction, but it can quickly become plugin hell for no apparent reason.I've had one on one's where I've been told I "took too long to get a project done, so quit being a perfectionist" along with had I "not made wrong assumptions we wouldn't have to make changes" in the same conversation. There are some people you just can't please.

Esri launched their web map platform, ArcGIS Online, somewhere in the early 2010s (it's surprisingly hard to find the exact date). In 2014, somebody said 'it would sure be useful if you could group web map layers together, like you can do in the desktop version' and posted about it. Several years pass with some vague promises. Progress from that point is summed up quite well by another user: quote:"I asked the ESRI Reps about grouping feature layers at the 2017 UC and was told this would be done by the next UC 2018" It's now in beta!

You assume a power button is going to work, a bit isn't going to randomly flip, that frameworks you use are still going to work properly, etc. That’s a very fair point, and it’s a good way to adjust my language on the subject in a way that’s conciliatory. I appreciate this post, and it’s a useful way to reframe the discussion. So thank you! This is mostly just frustration from the fact that my team just isn’t very technical and that can be annoying sometimes. They’re all good people, but they get stuck on problems that they shouldn’t be getting stuck on. angry armadillo posted:I've definitely dealt with weird assumptions. So I relate a lot to this, which is worrying since, god bless ya, you do not tend come off great in your posts bitching about this guy I worry a lot of this is me judging people for making the same mistakes I used to. But at least I researched and tried to understand the issue first! It’s so frustrating seeing people relying so heavily on what people say, and what problems could be, rather than asking themselves if it made sense logically. They’ll rely on half remembered scraps of information when the full configuration is in front of them the whole time! There’s just a big lack of critical thinking that kills me. Sometimes the critical thinking is there to be fair! And the attitude and desire to learn is on point. But the wonder and tragedy of computers is they do exactly what you tell them to. Which means if you understand exactly what you’re telling a system to do, you should be able to predict the results. Sometimes you’re wrong and new information comes into play, so you reevaluate your priors and adjust. But like... go through the logic, and don’t just toss hand grenades over cubical walls blaming “the network” because you didn’t bother to read the full error message.
