Quick Azure Question:

I know that there are some resource tags that have special effects, like "AzDefenderPlanAutoEnable" can turn off ATP. What I haven't been able to find is a comprehensive list of all tags that can can be used for configuration like this. Anyone have anything?

If I push back on their stupidity they whine about it up the chain until someone gets annoyed and tells me to do what they want. They bring in the grant money so they get to control everything.

I have to do the cost/benefit analysis of "is it really worth upsetting this rear end in a top hat professor" regularly.

Yea, I think you're probably not getting hits for entry level stuff because frankly you're overqualified and HR/Management might be just throwing your resume in the dumpster when they see it, because you will and rightly so jump ship as soon as someone comes along to actually pay you what you're worth instead of what an entry level helpdesk nerd is making.

Oh boy, posting!
That's where I'm a Viking!


So I've been in my first IT role for like 7 months now and things are pretty solid. My boss is decent, I get along with my team, the work is solid, and they're even paying for me to get my CCNA. I was given one day a week to WFH after four months there which was nice. They also don't give a poo poo if I work from home on random days if I have a delivery or something I need to take care of, so that's nice.

Anyways, the company that just bought mine a few months back announced that hybrid WFH is going away next year, and pretty much everyone who wasn't in IT was working from home 3-4 days a week. They said people who are full time remote are fine as is, it's just anyone with an office to report to can no longer work from home. What's unclear is if it affects my team or not (the email was specifically aimed at people with "hybrid schedules").

If it does, it's not the end of the world for me but it's gonna gently caress over a couple of guys on my team. I'll suck it up since the commute isn't awful, and the market went to straight poo poo right after I managed to get my foot in the door, but god drat I am sick of the "We need everyone to return to the office!" poo poo so many companies keep doing. My last job did it about a year before the pandemic, and lol at how that turned out for everyone we lost 25-30% of our staff over a 9 month period leading to severe delays and staffing issues, then COVID hit and they eventually just gave up and told everyone the offices were closed and everyone was now considered a remote employee .

My boss has gotten it into his head that we need to 'replace samba' for fileshares in an env using Linux servers + windows and mac endpoints. Today we're running smbd on Centos boxes. I'll be sitting in on a meeting next week about it as a mostly neutral observer. I feel like this topic comes up in our org every couple of years. Is Samba still the best we got for on-prem file sharing? Is windows still only nfs v3 client-side? Even on a Mac, I its been a while since I've had much of an issue with Samba.

My question is general -- What does the landscape for on-prem, self-hosted, multi-OS-supported file sharing platforms looks like now of days? Honestly feels like we should just use OneDrive or GDrive for everything with the direction we are going.

I concur - As someone that has to read resumes, I'd see that and go "why is this person looking for entry level? What's wrong with them?". Aim higher (much higher), or tune the resume down for those lower level jobs you want? You've done your time in the trenches and literally have great progression showing you're able to do more (l1 -> l2 -> SA) . You've got cloud certification, so it's showing that's where you want to go (out of the trenches and into the cloud), so if your resume came across my desk for a L1/L2 job I'd be like, this person doesn't work well with others or is going to jump ship once the job market is better.

He says so far it's a weird mix of move fast (they replaced the VMware signs outside the buildings by end of day last Wednesday, the day the deal closed) and clocks being set 20 years back attitude-wise.

It depends a lot on what's considered a server room and how much equipment is in there, but true data center rooms are usually going to be loud enough that it's an OSHA violation to be working in there without hearing protection.

Our old one is in a windowless box that they had to specially add AC for. For some reason we're rocking a whole rear end dell server, rack, and like 150 switch ports for a company with less than 100 users that only uses it for file storage.

If I saw that resume, what are the chances you bounce in few months once you find something better? Companies hate churn and hiring people sucks sometimes.

My advice, I don't even like this but you basically :airquote: tailor :airquote: your last position to the one you are applying. I get that's a bit shady but this is what I've been told by every recruiter, HR Person and even managers. Obviously, it still needs to be real but you just angle it out as much as possible. YMMV.

The only positive is that server room doors typically have access control and no windows.

worth asking if the server room is rated for human capacity

early in my career, I set up a tiny desk in the corner of a server room and rightfully got my rear end ripped for it. nobody should be spending extended periods of time sedentary in a server room, especially with the different types of fire suppression systems that you might have in there or the fact that nobody is walking by on the regular to see if you're in trouble, especially if you have any 208/240V in there
