A couple years back I did some consulting work for a law firm who were changing their case management software, they spent the whole sales process explaining how they had no on-prem services, everything was Azure AD and Office 365, endpoints managed in Intune etc. Anyway the first step of deploying this new software was to create a VPN tunnel to establish domain trust, and that's why they now spend several thousand per year on Azure VMs.

Powershell has -like and -contains comparison operators that could help with that.

Agrikk posted:I need some help. Just to make sure I'm clear, there's duplicates between bundle A and bundle B, but not between two documents in A or B themselves? I'd start with the easiest set of matches, get all you can sorted into group C, and remove them from group A and B. Then see how many you have left, and find another match that has a good set, and then keep wittling it down until you have a couple hundred of the hardest and then do them manually. I'm going to brute force it a bit with some inefficient sorts, but I think that this won't really take that long. First make a back up of both of them since it'll be destructive. Put them on a linux server. Them make sure there's no duplicates inside each list We can do that with "fdupes": https://github.com/adrianlopezroche/fdupes Once that's done, we can do some really bad code to programmatically compare the two directories. We want to do the following: 1) if a file exists in A, but not in B, leave it 2) if a file exists in B but not in A, leave it 3) if I file exists in A and B, assume the copy in file A is authoritative, then delete the instance in directory B. Step 1) do a complete list of all the files in A and B and do ms5sums code:
Now you have two files, each with a complete list of all the files and all md5sums. This means that if any of the sums match, the files are the same. So now we need a goofy way to find out. Get ready for some bad code. You can run this with "./script.sh" if you run it as "./script.sh delete" it will attempt to delete (I left --dry-run and fake 'rm' so it wont' actually delete. Basically it takes the lists above, looks at each line in list A, and compares the hash against each has in list B. There's three conditions: 1) the file matches A and B -> moves copy in A to a new path, and deletes it from B 2) file in A is unique -> moves it to new path When it's done, you have three things: 1) location A left alone 2) location B is purged of matching files against location A code:
Anything deeper with fuzzy logic (like OCP makes "lamp" "Iamp" and "1amp") and you'll need to index it with ElasticSearch or something and then parse it that way. Super-NintendoUser fucked around with this message at 21:56 on Sep 7, 2023 |

Post this over in our Python thread and you'll likely get some good ideas to jumpstart you. This is right answer, my code is hot garbage, but I'd make a first quick pass with checksums since that' super quick. 1) compare A internally with fdupes 2) compare B internally with fdupes 3) hash compare A to B with my terrible scripting 4) Not necessary since you know B is unique against A at this point. Then you know for sure all the easy ones are gone. You may find you don't have as many edge cases as you think. I re-read your post, you want to do a lot more intelligence on this, but you still can with the chksums, you can use that to make reports, and then manually go over them, but I'd suggest just blasting any matches straight up and then starting.

Hughmoris posted:I really should take time to better learn shell scripting. Start working in Linux or Macos terminal. Try doing simple things via bash even if it's faster manual, just to get some exposure. Scripting is just complex combinations of simple tasks so learn the simple tasks and then it'll just start fitting together. If you are a novice at scripting, I'd highly suggest learning Python. Bash is nice, but Python is way more powerful, flexible, and portable.

PowerShell is, I think, a much friendlier shell than Bash and the like. It's also a scripting language, but it's not as powerful as Python. It straddles the line between shell and scripting. I do think the pipeline and everything being an object in PowerShell vs everything being text in other Unix shells makes it a lot more powerful in a lot of cases.

Turned on APM for our biggest set of services today, which went great until our elastic cluster fell over. The APM data was only 22GB/hour, so not too bad, and certainly not enough to kill the cluster… After about 3 hours of digging I realized I forgot to turn off verbose logging to stdout on the opentelemetry agent and collectors, which collectively produced a cool 220GB/hour of redundant log data, including every trace before sampling. Well done me. At least this validated my design of offloading logs from service -> otel agent immediately, which meant applications don’t fail when telemetry does! And it’s kinda neat that the verbose logs were an exact order of magnitude greater in size than the traces and metrics!

For better or worse consulting sometimes is explaining the same thing over and over to people. The worst orgs have the exact same tendencies and running projects with them is like shooting fish in a barrel. My favorite client ever hated consultants and I went from a solo six week project to a 2 1/2 year reputation defining deal there. They challenged me and I challenged them. Most of our clients are mouth breathing idiots and that’s why they had to ask us wtf to do in the first place. It’s gotten really hollow at this point

i am a moron posted:I used to think kicking rear end on big projects was fun but all the joy has been sucked out of it for me. Same. Although you can go back 5 years in this thread and see me saying the same poo poo. I have definitely reached the point where this work rarely interests me anymore. But at the same time it also doesn't define who I am anymore either, which is a positive change. I'm now working with absolutely giant corporations after doing mostly SMB throughout my career. Maybe a few thousand employees at the top end. And as a surprise to no one, it's just as bad if not worse. I try not to talk about what I'm doing anymore because I don't want the bullshit that comes with it. But it's just all so dumb. Weeks of people mad... have you tried scaling out your Redis cluster? Problem solved. Weeks of people mad. You switched from one database engine to another and did no work on your queries or database architecture? No load testing before going to prod? And it needs to be fixed tomorrow? Good luck. DR/BC sucks because no one takes it seriously but they all want to pretend they do. Look, let's all check the box and move on with our lives. Stop lying to me.

Nope Diagram of existing network? Nope Diagram of future state? Nope Requirements document? Nope loving problem statement detailing why this has to happen? Of course not. But that’s not stopping networking from vomiting workloads Willy-nilly all over their new switches. Never mind architecture. Apparently I’ve been hired to be the company’s documentarian. But you pay me senior architect money so idgaf. All I know is my 30-year mortgage with 27 years remaining is getting paid off in 24 months. Also: thanks for the tips on my file compare thing.
