My last day at the current gig is Friday. I sent out an email blast to friends and colleges I've worked with and gotten to know over the years and was kinda shocked at the number of "Where are you going/why are you leaving?" emails and I think some might follow me out the door.

I was called out to the floor (this is not an IT company, but a manufacturing one) because the workstation no longer had any network access. Tests to rule out errors at the computer led to following the network wire where I found in a corner, that the rear leg of a shelf was squeezing the network cable. They moved the shelf last month they said. They lifted the shelf and I pulled the cable free and I rolled it out with my fingers and suddenly the network access was back. I didn't know network cables worked exactly like water hoses, but can't argue with results...

We are implementing a cloud product in TYOOL 2021 that requires you to bring your own smtp server for outbound relay instead of just giving us the loving spf/dmarc record like any other platform we have send as us. At least we can just point it at proofpoint and call it a day, but that’s idiotic.

The costs these vendors must put into supporting SMTP relay and having known IP addresses has got to be higher than just using SES or whatever to handle email.

Thanks Ants posted:The costs these vendors must put into supporting SMTP relay and having known IP addresses has got to be higher than just using SES or whatever to handle email. The worst part of this, the vendor is implementing MFA and their methods only consist of email, SMS and call. They are pushing email as the more secure option, which it probably is* *Provided your email is protected by 2FA and the code doesn't pop up on any previews you could view with your phone being locked Just going to tell them they need to configure sms/call for this user and to not talk to me until they implement less lovely MFA.

If I were product managing a cloud app now I don't think I'd even build a user directory for it - just have it integrate with Google Workspace and Azure AD, perhaps do SAML at a later date. And if the emails it sends out are personalised to each user rather than automated alerting, just use the Exchange Online and Gmail APIs to submit messages on behalf of the user. At least then it gets into the sent mail. There's a little startup ISP here that did away with account passwords and just sends a unique link to your email inbox whenever you need to access your account, which I think is pretty smart because it's an account people might sign into once or twice a year and I would guess the associated support burden for password resets eats the margin on a consumer product like that.

I just got out of an interview with a data warehouse and transfer company. I'm interested and scared that a. They want a 10 year hire for this, everyone there is long term and b. They're a 12 person operation. I'd be mostly customer service but I'd get to work directly with the CTO and get my hands in a ton of pies in the data space. I'm trying to figure out what to do.

I also think infosec is like an industry leader of old, obsolete fuckwads who post temporary junior level jobs for people who have valid skills from this century. Can you take a 12 month contract to make our azure space actually secure? Gee, what happens after the 12 months? Does your azure no longer need to be secure? Do you expect them to also teach you how to be something besides worthless in the next 12 months? Go engage a vendor you cheap, worthless pieces of poo poo.

Our company is in a different boat now. Everyone for the longest time was told to be as cheap as possible, spend no money! Lately the pocket books have opened substantially due to growth but these loving managers are being cheap fuckers with everything. It's cheaper we can save so much! No you rear end in a top hat, get the SAAS solution so I don't have to support the infra.

This is a big problem that I've been encountering for a while now at different places. They can't seem to make that jump in logic that if they can pay more for SaaS, they can get rid of other expenses. At my last place I was literally telling them to buy these 2 pieces of software that would mean they could get rid of me. They wouldn't get rid of me. I wanted to get them in a good position and leave and they couldn't comprehend.

Stupid little issues with our on-prem Jira and Confluence servers have eaten up my time at work this week. Thankfully we will certainly move to the hosted product as there’s no way they’d pay for the Datacenter version licensing with Server goes out of support.

One of our apps doesn't work well with a specific cable model model apparently so engineering is having Charter install a cable connection and they're getting dozens of models to test on site. Bunch of loving geniuses over there.

Yes, but they're really pushing the cloud per user per month billing. If you're big enough you can buy datacenter. So I mean if you have 20 people I guess it's not too bad. It's still 1750-3500 depending on the plan you get. It's criminal they charge extra for SSO

There's no more "8 person" In order to focus on delivering a world-class cloud experience, we’re ending the sale and support of our server licenses. End of sale for new licenses On February 2, 2021 PT, we will stop selling new licenses for our server products and cease new feature development in our server product line. On February 2, 2021 PT, we will increase the price of maintenance for existing server licenses to ensure the continued security and maintenance of our server platform. the minimum is now $27k for 500 users

We're paying for datacenter, and I'm not sure exactly how much it is, but I'm pretty sure it's drat near 7 figures at this point.

skipdogg posted:That's just for Confluence datacenter for a year. Jira is 42,000 a year for 500 users. Yeah they announced this last October and I was quite surprised (and dismayed) by the lack of reaction in the IT press - no one seemed to care that another company was making the big jump from "pushing most of our customers into cloud but still selling software" over to "on-premises software? the gently caress you on about mate, down undah here in Oz you can pay us all the money or you can gently caress off cheers". (The first to do this being Adobe, with honorable mention to Microsoft for being 99% there with Office). Don't get me wrong, kudos to them for having good enough software they can lock everyone in without huge numbers jumping ship, and I love me some "not staying up until midnight to do on-premises software maintenance" as much as the next "Ex"-change admin, see what I did there, but for those situations where companies can't afford the huge ongoing costs it's dismaying to see the blatant cash grab and lock-in to cloud platform without any alternative. And every time a company does this and is successful, it emboldens all the rest of them to do the same.

SyNack Sassimov posted:“Good enough software” you know we’re talking about atlassian right I actually sympathize pretty hard with killing off on prem as much as possible, but in no way shape or form would I call atlassian good software. Terrible documentation, lots of missing features, and whether SaaS or server it’s hella expensive. The only place that didn’t use it wrote their own ERP/ticketing system and honestly, it was delightful and easy to use. Came with a really slick seat map too. Alas I barely remember it tho cuz it was my first job ever, but I’d love to look at it with the eyes I have now.

We’re now switching to Jira Service Management for cost reasons vs Freshservice ($20/seat vs like 89 for the tier with real reporting capabilities) and it’s amazing how many basic ‘ticketing system’ features are missing or implemented in crazy convoluted ways. I guess they want to keep their loving ‘marketplace’ app devs happy so they never really implement glaring feature omissions.

^^^^ Jesus talk about going backwards, that's like walking into a house with LED lighting and going "naw, what you need here is some gas lamps, lemme just run a gas line into every room so we can replace these silly LED things"The Iron Rose posted:you know we’re talking about atlassian right Fair enough, I was mostly thinking about Confluence. I've set up too many JIRA servers (this is misleading - I've set up four or five, and I would have preferred to stop after one), and I have never actually used JIRA myself day-to-day, only watched clients use it - most as a bug system, which seemed OK, and one as a ticketing system, which seemed insane. But Confluence seems like the best option available for documentation because it lowers the friction of editing just enough that it doesn't seem like a great hassle to pop in and add a single line of documentation or update an IP or something. That's always the issue with the other wiki-based documenting systems I've seen and used - the mental block of "this is going to take at least 10 minutes to add this info so I'll do it later" and soon enough the thing is completely out of date.

I just did a migration with office 365, moving the files from the drive to share point was fine but the GUI is awful when trying to move a large number of files from one folder to another within share point. Ended up with a shitload of errors if you go too fast and it just stops you from doing more than a specific yet never explicitly stated number at once. And the libraries on doing stuff on share point in powershell is so bad it’s not even clear which library to use.
