So a ticket came in. We have a terraform module that does the hard work of creating new GCP projects, attaching them to billing accounts, setting up budgets/alerting/etc. Dev wanted to create a new project, so it should have been a simple 5 minute review and merge. Six hours of terraform state surgery later... turns out the underlying module used an authoritative IAM binding and wants to control the entire iam policy document for the gcp project. this is bad, because we only want to manage the project object, and it means every time you want to rerun tf plan to add a new project, it tries to erase every single IAM binding for all every single project since it doesn't see them in the state file or in the code. Three releases of the underlying module later, I'm moving to a local state for backups, removing the policy document from the state file by hand for every single project, give myself project owner, manually remove the existing project owner, re-run the plan to re-add them + update state, and then cleaning up all the lovely manual workarounds. simple enough now, but I assure you it did not feel that way at the time! anyways then speculative plans in TF cloud started failing, and for the me I couldn't figure out why since the HTTP responses to the webhook were returning fine before and after all my changes, and I banged my head against that one for about an hour before realizing the dev forked the repository instead of cloning it, which is obviously untrusted and lmao. currently I am painstakingly walking him through how to authorize his SSH key and add a passphrase to it. He's been here like a year and a half. honestly it was actually pretty fun, but rip my scheduled work for today

I read posts like that and I’m worried that I no longer work in IT or some poo poo because I only understood like 30% of that.

You would really hate to see the setup I put together when I spin up my rack mount server. Note: I really should obtain a half rack, but they are so stupidly expensive.

Nothing will beat the "pee hole" from my job working for a school photography studio. Downstairs, in the dank basement, is where the majority of the staff worked. The main floor was a studio and the top floor was storage. Anyway, down in the basement, there was a small closet-like room where all the servers were housed. This room was very wet, every surface coated in moisture, and it contained a drain in the middle of the room. The owner of the place, an immensely fat guy, would go into this room and pee into the drain because the closest bathrooms were upstairs.

why was the server room so moist, and was it from all the pissing or for an unrelated reason

It was a really old building. All the pipes and stuff ran through that room. It seemed designed to capture moisture somehow I’m not an architect. That’s all I got.

The server room of horror indeed. Did it at least have a light in the closet or was it a hot, dank, piss smelling box, also you just know that the dude didn't dump some water down the drain after the fact as a courtesy.

That's usually not how plumbing traps work? They're supposed to block air coming up from the sewer. Not me, but our sister company, a Very Big Website in France, had their storage on a big 3Par array, spanning 2 racks. The colo couldn't provide enough power to it from one tile, so they had to lease 2 neighboring tiles to feed enough power to it. At some point, the colo was doing maintenance and shut down the feeds to the neighboring tiles "because there wasn't anything there" and that's the story of how I had to guide French people through restoring a Postgres backup.

A plumbing trap isn't going to stop any moisture exiting the pipe because it is, itself, an open pool of water.

Thanks Ants posted:Bingo. HE is awful, and their CGNAT pool ranges are poor quality in terms of where the old geolocation databases list them at. A few posts back, but, can you please dumb this down for me? I am in Scotland, I have Vodafone Gigafast (gigabit symmetric) and on different days, Google Maps thinks I am in different places in the UK. Sometimes London, sometimes Manchester, sometimes where I actually am in Scotland. Is this to do with "CGNAT" and old geolocation databases? I am a tech nerd, but not very savvy at networking.

Steakandchips posted:A few posts back, but, can you please dumb this down for me? This is mostly related to where you happen to pop out of their network, based on my understanding. Your public IP is where geolocation is based on, and so it will show your location based on where that IP is(supposed to be) physically.

Right, ok. My prior BT VDSL connection always showed me at my correct area in Scotland. This one from Vodafone bounces around every few days.

Do you have a static public IP in practice or does it rotate regularly?

Never checked, but I imagine it rotates. Right, it's because Vodafone are thick and don't rotate localised addressed, and instead rotate nationwide ones...
