I would much rather have a really busy friday than one where the only ticket came in at 4:45 after I had already turned everything off and now I'm into minute 30 call of something that should take 30 seconds but we keep running into problem after problem.

Amazon just decided to kill dpreview https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2023/03/amazon-layoffs-will-shut-down-camera-review-site-dpreview-com-after-25-years Which i know is more a topic for IYG but it was one of the oldest website still alive i used to browse religiously when i was younger. Anandtech and tech report have pretty much became a press release rehosting service and so did every other i read/posted on.

Still fighting the good fight against MITM at my job, and found a new thing to be pissed about. A colleague is dependent on a PowerBI solution, and it stopped working because there is a firewall in Azure that only allows allow listed IPs to touch the database. The solution is apparently to allow list ALL KNOWN ZSCALER EGRESS POINTS. Kinda defeats the whole purpose of the allow list in the first place…

Can you just bypass that PowerBI traffic as a cert pinned app or something in Zscaler?

The power went out at work yesterday. Just as I was rolling out a feature upgrade I'd been working on for 4 weeks. The power came back after 10 seconds, but it took 30 minutes to bring back all services online again, finish the rollout, verify everything worked, and tell everyone to update their poo poo and watch out for merge conflicts. And then the power went out again. For 4 hours. I went home after the first hour. Day well spent!

I'm having a very different experience with Service Now than most people, but we went all in and built a large team to support it. Three plus years in and on top of ticketing and change management we've got a services portfolio with dependencies down to the NAS a VM is on. We have 9000 kinds of Configuration Item, including HR and Site Service' stuff. We have financial data for operational tasks. It's kinda crazy, every time I switch from my favorites to the full sidebar it's gotten longer.

No, the best part is when you say "I can't make it Tuesday at 9:30, I have a weekly team meeting 9-10 on Tuesday." and they reschedule it for 9:30 next Tuesday. Not that that has ever happened to me...

Just had a funny meeting where a guy from our European office asked if it's necessary to have a weekly Friday meeting at his 5pm/New York 10am. It used to be a team meeting at 930 on Wednesday. The boss basically said deal with it, We all work until 6 or 7pm every day. The British guy chuckled, knew there was no debate to be had and likey started updating his resume. The boss was extremely disrespectful to a senior and extremely valuable resource that had a reasonable request to not tie him down to a mandatory meeting that ends after 6pm on Friday. I can't imagine he'll be around much longer.

There's gently caress all you can to to him if he's employed under UK law. If your boss is extra stupid and escalates to trying to get the dude fired then solid odds he'll get the company sued for unfair dismissal. As it stands dude could quit and sue for constructive dismissal already. TFW you realize even terrible rear end England has better labor laws than your stupid hellcountry

My place of work has perfected the “ignore anything good and seize on to the slightest TPS report issue to make a mountain out of” style of management. We’ve had three record breaking shifts in a row and are in the middle of a 4th and I had to practically browbeat my boss into acknowledging that fact before we went back to holding an inquisition over a recycling bin being overfilled.

We have so many IST resources that 9-11 ends up getting booked solid a lot. Sometimes an 8 or 8:30 pops up on my calendar and I decline "But all the other morning time is taken!" Tough, that's the choice we made when we staffed this way, find something to drop if the meeting is important enough.

Because I have to come into the office to do it, prepping new laptops for staff is something I really would rather not do. So believe me supervisor and CEO when I say we need new computers for people it's not a bit and I've done everything we can to avoid it. Like having to explain why it staff whose job it is to go into people's hotel rooms and interview them probably would be better off with a laptop instead of having to go into a central room to share a desktop where there already is complaints that there isn't enough space for people to work and there already isn't a spot for people to plug anything in, like I feel like I'm going insane.

Death to elasticsearch on kubernetes Or, more specifically, death to managing it yourself. I’m sure the managed services offerings (“opensearch” lol) aren’t terrible. But elastic’s documentation is abysmal and effectively nonexistent. I’ve been trying to get APM going for months and just keep running into roadblocks with the elastic agent, wiring together ingresses and services, handling TLS, dealing with undocumented deployment models. Right now I’ve a lovely issue where all our synthetic agents are no longer doing their thing for reasons I cannot understand, which is just delightful. Logs indicate they can’t connect to a socket in the container, but the agent container is running as root, so I’ve no clue why we’re getting permission denied there ahhh. I really increasingly dislike elasticsearch and don’t know how it’s as popular as it is when managing it yourself is this painful, and using elastic cloud is literally millions of dollars.

It’s truly perplexing how often you find it in the wild considering what a dense, hostile piece of poo poo it is to deploy or maintain in any configuration. I’m sure theres probably a good reason for it being the way it is but goddamn does it stink to manage at any level or on any scale

At least if you manage it yourself, you can troubleshoot it yourself. If anything goes wrong on OpenSearch, you're in for a world of pain and there's nothing you can do to help. Other than that, it's great!

I can not emphasize enough how much I hated managing an on prem Elasticsearch cluster. Just writing queries and making visualizations, sure all day every day. But the hell with managing it beyond that.

Learning the query language and building out dashboards and stuff is relatively straightforward and easy to do. Standing up and managing a cluster, WELL, at least is a much more involved and difficult process.

i had to explain over the phone long distance to a very angry client why they could not access their email. "please, you will need to go back to your hotel to use your email. no, no, no, you can't access your email inside the control room because nuclear reactors do not connect to the internet."

My first major project starting at the new company last summer was "hey, so we have this ancient ELK stack deployed via chef, opsworks, and cloudformation that hasn't been touched since 2018, could you do something about it?" My suggestion of "burn it all down and just ship everything to a logging PaaS" was unfortunately not taken seriously.
