I wouldn't keep any resources around at all that aren't needed, but I would create them with an automation tool so that they can be recreated, tweaked, renamed, etc, on a whim. If that's not on the table, yeah I'd just delete their access keys. You can restrict the ability to create access keys for a user so that only you (or whatever) are allowed to, if you need that level of safety. If replacing access keys is expensive (maybe it requires a code change + redeploy, or something), you can detach all of their policies instead and then re-attach when needed. Probably create a customer managed policy for this. You can also restrict the ability to create, edit, and attach policies if needed.

Do you guys know of a way to expand multiple partitions into empty space by percentage on linux? We have some CIS hardened AMIs that are parted by percentages using a 100GB disk, but if we expand that disk to like, 200GB, it won't grow each partition by those same percentages. Kind of at a loss.

Got a job lead through a recruiter, pay is very nice (would be a 125% bump) but I feel like the pay is attempting to lull me into ignoring the red flags that are flying out of the job description. Basically sounds like sole engineer/admin for a company of undetermined size but holds half a trillion in assets so I am assuming size is "Not as small as it should be for one person doing all the things". I'll probably let it play out and see but god I just want a job that isn't going to try to crush my spirit with 50+ hour weeks every week.

Here's one for the Teams apologists. If I want to do a smiling emoji I start to type code:I send a lot of :-S inadvertently. And nearly send a lot of  because unlike Slack it does not put your frequently used emojis at the top, so typing code: until you get all the way to code:

If I want to do a smiling emoji I start to type [...] AFAIK the only way to adjust these behaviors is to unpack teams back into javascript and start poking around, which is where you'll also want to go if you want custom emojis. We have some custom emojis that start with :s at my employer and they're un-typeable, you basically have to paste them or click on them in the selector.

Thanks Ants posted:Had to use Google Meet today and with a few video participants it runs like poo poo. Most likely also a Chrome problem but that's Google's fault as well. We use Meet and Chrome as well, and I don't see the same issues in our meetings. Meet is at parity with WebEx and Zoom (except for sharing control) after a lot of work by Google during the pandemic. I can't compare it to Slack or anybody's Teams, but it gets the job done and as a Google shop, it's "free".

Right now I'm whipping up a script that does the math on a 'parted xvdb print' command to grab the disk size and math it out. Using raw partitions instead of LVM means if you resize you'll have to also move a lot of data around. It may be faster to use clonezilla to take an image, then apply that image while checking the "enlarge proportionally" flag. This approach may be faster than trying to do it in-place, and you have a handy backup image in case it goes wrong, and it can be automated.

Jeoh posted:(H) All food is pizza unless cake As an aside, I have a Win10 Pro laptop running PrintNode to allow printing from our web app. Is there any way to force the laptop to always* be on and have print node running? e.g. if theres a forced update, make sure it reboots back to a state where PrintNode is on? People will be printing all hours of the day, though a "reboot the thing" maintenance window is planned. Still needs PW protection obv.

Ehhhh this is something people bring up a lot as embarrassing/whatever but everyone is in the same situation (or at least was at one point, now it's about 50/50 in my experience) and is very understanding. I've been on calls with all sorts of people with various screaming/barking/crying/whatever in the background, sometimes life happens at inconvenient times. I don't have kids but I have a barky dog and everyone just shrugs it off and keeps going or gives me a minute or two to calm him down.

Part of it is I’m feeling self conscious because I went from being the young rising star at my old company to now finding myself the oldest person on my team (and older than my manager for the first time ever!). I got a lot of kids and my title is senior and I’m old. Midlife crisis time

My favourite is people using the webcam/mic in their laptop and then rubbing it or scratching at the plastic frame of their laptop. Also, was helping set up a bunch of new ESXi hosts, SANs, and all their iLOs today. Really didn't want to static IP all 40 devices so we just did DHCP, which wasn't an option ever before because we used a trash OES DHCP. Later someone mentions something to my boss, and he says they and someone else have to change it all to static IPs on Monday. He said if DHCP or DNS goes down we won't be able to get on them so we need a 'physical IP', (???) I think he believes if a DHCP server goes down then all the hosts just delete their IP address. His disaster recovery plan is memorising all these IPs... Because a situation where DNS and DHCP are unreachable would also mean our phpipam server is down. All the DHCP IPs will be documented still and I can just make it a Reservation if they so desperately want the IP to never change. You can't even add ESXi hosts to vCentre using an IP afaik, it has to be a hostname. We have two data centres, both DNS/DCs are in the same subnet on the same server infrastructure. The DHCP is spread across both in different subnets because I was at least able to do that without anyone interfering. All our like 150-200 VMs are statically IPed, but none of the non-Windows ones have PTR records because who ever keeps making A records for them unticks the box every time. Am I the dumb one here? Is there something I'm missing? Does everyone just static IP all their servers/most other stuff still?

It's not unreasonable to need/want predictable IPs for certain things, but the answer to that is to use static reservations from a dhcp server, not to abandon dhcp altogether.

Static your routers, the DHCP servers themselves, and your DCs. Pretty much everything else can work off reservations.

I keep everything that is not used in “emergency” situations on dhcp, stuff like ilos and idracs tends to be called upon when everything is gone to poo poo so I personally prefer to keep them on static ips just in case.
