Those of you who did some kind of programming class in highschool, did they teach you about git?

I was talking to a friend the other day and we both said the one thing we wish we knew back then was git. Both us had projects go completely missing or fubar at T-10 seconds. I don't recall even knowing that version control was a thing

All of them lol

I'm working on my own streaming service. Yes, I know plex a thing but I've had issues with it and I'm honestly doing this more for the fun of it.

When it's ready, I'll run two versions. One that'll use to access my stuff outside my network, Plex style and one that hosts old movies that are now in the public domain. I'll use that one for demonstrative purposes

Paying a bill manually.... Accidentally put an extra zero on there... FML

Theory
You work on thing B while waiting to hear back about thing A

Practice
You are waiting to hear back about things A-G

Well I got offered a position as the CTO of a local charity but the funding fell through. That job sounded pretty sweet.

Otherwise my dream is honestly not having one, like in a situation where I didn't need the money. I'd not working and basically just spend my time volunteering for stuff at my church

The car I bought last week cost R10 000 (South African Rand) less than the house my parents bought in 1999...

Yea inflation is wack

Looks like we might have a civil war here. Who knows? I might finally get to kill a commie

For legal reasons that's a joke

My dad at my age: Running a whole department in the navy

Me at my age: Panicking because the company let me have my own project

So I recently wacthed Prison Break

Right in the beginning, Michael takes the hdd out of his computer and throws it out the window

Me: Yea he should've dismantled that drive and thrown the pieces away in different places

Then later on someone else is trying to figure his plan and finds the drive and recovers data. Yea.. what did I say?

Why does this entire company have such a hardon for excel?

That moment you get you chewed for not doing stuff when all you been doing the last two weeks is chasing the people that are supposed to get back to you about that stuff

Want me to make them do it? Give me the authority. Clearly having my manager talk to their manager isn't helping

Literally every single task except one has me waiting on stuff from other people. The remaining ask is waiting on root access approved for a server

Uugh. I'd take dealing with some obscure bug for 4 hours over this nonsense

Does anyone else dig working from home but miss the thrill of getting home from the office?

Watching Dallas, yea old-ass Dallas.

Bobby Ewing gets kidnapped. They make an episode out of this. Sitting there thinking damn if this was Yellowstone Kayce would've just killed those guys and the whole thing would be like 15 seconds

Fuck Cyberark

and fuck Logstash

That is all

On today's episode of Corporate BS

I must please go update logstash on this server. Okay, so I literally just need to ssh in and run "yum update logstash"

No, I need to apply for temp root access and depending who picks up that ticket, I may have to log a change request

Teacher

I love teaching but I hated school so the thought of going back...

Still teach people stuff when I get the chance. Taught my brother to drive, teaching a friend to drive, bridge knowledge gaps with colleagues, volunteer with the children's programs at my church

My own damn thoughts and inability to focus

So those of you who have seen some of my previous rants will know that the past 2 years, I've been "employementally" challenged. I am now very happy to report that I've gotten a contract renewal at my current job. The terms are exactly the same but 3 extra days of anual leave and a 7% raise!

Cold today. Might start mining crypto just so my pc will dump some heat into this room

This might be a weird one or something that you're not supposed to do

I have a domain which I bought because it was very cheap, I have an old pc which I use as a server and I have to servers on the Oracle Cloud free tier

Now the actual question

Without shelling for a managed dns (which would be more per month than I'm paying for the domain per year), is there a way that I can self-host from my server and then use the Oracle Cloud servers as fallback/failover?

All 3 machines are Ubuntu 18.04 using Apache HTTPD, if that helps

I took IT as a choice subject in high school, found that I quite like this whole programming thing

So something sparked the thought at work today, so I checked to see if my name was available as a domain. Turns out both .com and .co.za were avalible. So cheap I couldn't resist

Guess my portfolio has a prettier name now

Don't trust AWS free tier

Suggestions for alternatives?

Wasn't so much a question but...

Before WFH got so popular, I was interviewing at a place 50km from home, loyalty and stuff came up and the guy said something along the lines of "The only potential problem I can see is the distance. Now I get the sense you're quite a loyal person blah blah blah"

Half way into my third month they decided not to keep me after probation, after giving no negative feedback at any point prior to that then "we just need someone mors senior"

So yea, tune me about loyalty and then do that....

Also, if they needed senior why were they advirtising junior?

Does anyone know if it's possible to send money, not cryptos, directly between Luno and Kraken?

Did no dev work

Did a website for my uncle. I'm not a web dev and I don't normally do this kind of thing for family but he's putting me up for two weeks. So he asked how difficult websites are, basically just needed me to drop some stuff in a template and host it. Not a problem. The man then brings me a printed piece of paper with changes he wants.... No copy paste for me...
