To clarify, did you apply, or did cloudflare reach out cold and ask you to chat?

If it’s the latter, you’re at the “don’t gently caress it up” portion of applying for a job IMO.

I hit the easy apply button on linkedin on a lark. I'm pretty sure that still jacks up the formatting of my resume and I was surprised to see them of all companies actually responding back.

Go with the vendor diagnostics, plus also memtest. HP has a handy utility that will make a bootable thumb drive with their EFI diagnostic tool on it.

Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.

Any of you guys know anything about ServiceNow (specifically how it compares to FreshService)? Saw a posting for an ITSM position that had kinda stupid pay for what the job reqs were

I've been working in the ServiceNow space for a fairly large implementation in the public sector (Australia) for the last year or so. It's... fine? Not that exciting, but day to day work is a pretty varied mix of admin, dev and support work. Honestly, I'm mostly sticking with it because I've seen the pay rates some of the consultants I work with are getting after only ~3 years of experience and I want to sell out at some point.

I don't know how SNOW compares to FreshService, but I can say Service Now is one of those big enterprise software suites where it's more like what do you want it to do, as opposed to what can it do.

We run everything IT related through it, Service Desk, Change Management, CMDB, Releases Management, it's setup to do automation for common requests and that's probably less than half of it. It's one of those things that can be very powerful if you put the resources into it. If you don't put the resources into it, you're going to have a bad time. We easily have probably 25 people (possibly double that) dedicated full time to service now between developers and admins. It's the center pillar of everything IT at my job. It's integrated into all sorts of other apps as well.

"The faster you use your cooldowns, the faster you can use them again"
my huge org is currently running an unholy mix of ServiceNow, JIRA, PPMC and HPSM - too many cooks and decentralized control means the implementation is horrible and everything is undocumented

everything talks to everything for the worst reasons as well

we are on our fifth service transformation project in 10 years (this is also how we got the previous four platforms)... they give 75% to the new platform and leave 25% on the old ones for political reasons, repeat four times

i'm just venting, there's nothing wrong with the platform

Chatgpt is better at coding than most of the people I’ve worked with in my career, and if it can replace the jobs of half of recruiters and SEO spam content writers so much the better. A friend of mine has a job supervising an AI to do content work for clients and it scales a lot better than you think!

A working session on chatgpt is dumb, but a GitHub copilot subscription for the company is not. There’s legit features of use here.

Blockchain was cool until it lost its killer app: anonymous illegal drug purchases. Without that it’s just confidence scams and a waste of energy.

Counterpoint: it is not actually good to automate the process of writing decent-looking but broken code and churning out SEO spam so that you can produce 100x more of it

It was in fact a good thing that those things were limited by the time of your employees and how much money you were willing to spend on it

I get why companies want a centralized platform but everything I’ve heard (and the experiences I’ve had as a user) just makes it sound like such a pain in the rear end. Both implementations I’ve seen didn’t seem like they justified the cost for the software and FTEs dedicated to it. I’m sure you can make great money supporting it but it isn’t a specialty I would seek out.

But yeah, it’s an entirely different beast than freshworks platforms.

I think almost all of it boils down to two major problems:

It’s really hard to know if a platform will work for your business until you implement it. As a business gets bigger, determining this gets exponentially harder.

Everybody needs to buy in. If any group decides not to join, the product loses its network effect and the value goes way down. This includes leadership buying in to the support needed to implement and maintain. Most of these platforms are a series of APIs that the end business needs to chain together, otherwise it’s only the most basic/example things that will work.

In case anything goes wrong, basically. We're doing this over GTA, a half baked VPN, and this is the first test on a real machine.

Also we're doing two of them at the same time so no support or lessons learned.

If I weren't so checked out id argue against it but at this point I do not care. With any luck I'll be gone by the end of this month.

I didn't even officially publish my cell phone at work and like 3 years after I left one company someone called me from an old job asking for help. I was like "who the gently caress gave you this number" and they rattled off someone I remembered helping after hours ages ago.

I have 15 servers on a VLAN, all connected to the same pair of switches. 14 of them can all talk to each other. The 15th can only talk to 3 of them. External communications work to all of them. I spent 12 hours Saturday and another 6 hours today trying to puzzle this thing out with a bunch of people way smarter than me, including the guy who set up the network these things are on.

(It's not DNS, they resolve their DNS requests just fine. ...right?)

All we know right now is that someone went in and royally hosed up the cable routing and LAGG configurations. That doesn't explain why this started happening at 2AM on a Saturday, immediately following a software deployment. The software engineers are positive it isn't software. The network engineers are only slightly less positive it isn't the network.

Oh, yeah, the one that can't talk to 4/5ths of the stack is also the most important server in the cluster. For those keeping track, this is the third deployment in a row where something got colossally hosed at this site. I'm glad I get overtime.

... is the subnet wrong? different default gateway?

Do you have any guest firewalls or microsegmentation in place?

I mean, I guess if we're talking about someone loving up cable routing (???) and LAGG configurations, it could be anything, but I could totally see someone focused on the networking/host side and not just looking at the guest.

Subnets are good. Gateways are good. And no firewalls to speak of. Went through and checked all of that today.

The most baffling bit is the difference between internal and external behavior. Zero issues reaching the servers from the outside, and zero problems reaching anything outside from the servers. But as far as the one controller server is concerned, there are only three reachable servers in that VLAN with it, even though it is technically aware of the other 13 (checked ARP tables and it is at least getting the right info from the switch).

And my own skills suck here. My knowledge of networking could fit in a shot glass, so all I'm really good for is checking configurations on these servers and pointing out when someone has overlooked a detail that we've gone over--as I've posted before, I'm primarily here because I know how to talk to people really well and keep crap organized.
