So, getting caught up on things now that everyone is coming back from the holidays. I checked into this thread, and it looks like it was deployed as a POC, but this looks like prod level posting. Did someone sync the prod shitpost.mdb into the POC for load testing or something?

I have a color HP LaserJet that I got on Amazon open box for $149 3 years ago and it has performed flawlessly on my wifi since day 1. Why can't enterprise-grade printers not be utter poo poo?

They've always had codenames like that, but after a while they started leaking to the public and marketing got ahold of it and made it lovely and annoying like marketing aways does.

Happy story: In less than 5 years I doubled my income and now make more than my team lead at my old job does now (public institution, public pay scale) with more engaging work and lots of fringe benefits. I still get super loving annoyed when the VP does something stupid, but it's still much better. Cheer up, anyone who's feeling stuck. There is hope.

The Fool posted:You'd think that, but cell companies have had this service for nearly as long as there have been text messages, and I've never heard of a case of serious abuse. I'm really surprised that this is the case. I've had the same Verizon cell number for almost 20 years now (late 1999) and I get very few spam messages through this method. Maybe once every few months. Whatever they're doing on the filtering on their end is fantastic, because I've also never not gotten an intended message through this method (we use it for our oncall paging).

Mr Robot season 2 was amazing, full stop. Just have to stick with it. Season 3 was awesome as well (all the feels), and I can't wait for 4. The fact that they keep things grounded in reality is a huge part of what makes it so watchable.

Once I finished it I strongly encouraged them to as well. I loved s3 so much. I think it dug a lot deeper into the humanity of everything and more than a few scenes hit me directly in the feels. Work chat: I get to figure out how to make KVM on ppc64le work today because this box I got can't be used for what I thought it could, so now it's just a toy.

Yeah, sure, but hey: free spork.

Ticket: Hey, one of our critical printers isn't responding and there are 300k jobs backed up in the print queue. Can someone take a look? Desktop Person: The printer isn't hooked up. It was disconnected and put into storage for construction in the area. Ummmm. This is a known critical printer that prints a lot of documents that help us do our business so we can, you know, make money and poo poo. But yeah, let's just unplug that bitch and put it into a closet while we remodel the floor without telling loving anyone.

ChubbyThePhat posted:I feel very sorry for the printer that's about to pick up that slack. My business still requires a lot of documentation in hardcopy. Even if the original docs were sent digitally, they still need a physical copy once all is said and done. And it's probably 300k jobs because 30k jobs got resubmitted between 5 and 20 times.

Is that just a typo or do people just literally print all the things and never went to pick them up to notice the printer was missing? Like, I'm amazed the number got that high before somebody went "huh something is wrong here"

Not counting any chickens, but had a good call today on a potential lead. And they didn't balk at the number I gave them "to even consider changing". And it's also in my old stomping grounds (I'm gonna get so fat) which is half my current commute.

JFC, talk about the absolute worst time. I'm already past there by 6:30 typically, and I don't usually hit any snags until I get south of 14-mile. Thread related: I've managed to delegate a lot of my day-to-day annoying on-demand bullshit to the FNG and actually exercise my job title. It's interesting being a senior systems engineer instead of a sysadmin. I kind of like it.

my cat is norris posted:Try to remember that you were hired for the position for good reasons. Even if your technical skills in this particular area are still being honed, you're bringing something to the team that's valued. It might be soft skills, it might be your overall approach to problem-solving, it might be your ability to grasp concepts, it might be that your existing knowledge has some application to your current role. You can continue to trust in what you know and what you've got even as you work on mastering new poo poo. This is truth. I had to REALLY step up my game in my current platform, and it took me a couple of months to fill in a lot of gaps in my skill set. My old job had a lot of stuff set up for me and I just used it. In this job, I had to do all of that stuff myself and learn how to do it at the same time. It's been 4 years and I'm still refining some of that stuff. Also: there's nothing more humbling intellectually than going to a conference and having dinner with the guy who actually designs the chips that run the platform I work on.

RFC2324 posted:I have solaris experience, Linux(RHEL family and, to a lesser degree, debian family and SUSE), and when placed in front of an AIX aptitude test was able to score the highest the recruiter had ever seen despite never having worked with it. AIX was the one I was thinking about specifically. Though a lot of recruiters still have their heads way up their asses. One pinged me for a job in NYC wanting at least 4 years of AIX (I have about 15) paying $80,000. I had to strongly resist the automatic reaction of "lolfuckoff". Solaris is kind of a weird one, and seems to be pretty regional. There are a few companies around here doing a lot of it, but most of them tend to be more in the Linux space (RHEL and Ubuntu because lolsuse). If you want to get into the AIX space professionally, look at health systems (EPIC prefers AIX) and auto manufacturing. Financials are hit or miss, as a lot of them are still using Z. Getting certs is always a plus, I get a lot more calls now that I have my RHCE, even though I don't really use it. If you get a good study guide, you could probably get through the CSA and CE without the classes and save yourself a few thousand. $800 for the CSA and CE total is definitely worth it.

Codecademy is good for learning the basics. They have a lot of python, and it's geared toward programming logic, which is the biggest hump. After you understand how programming works at a base level, the rest is syntax.
