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...

>Friday afternoon
>Have to seperate list of json
>Two hours. Can't do it
>Clock off for weekend
>15 minutes later, realise what a complete fuckwit I am

Sometimes I wish I was a cow, eating grass in some field

No more code
No more stress
Just moo

One of my collogues seems to now think Excel macros are a good thing and something that should be used on the reg.

I don't like this. Crappy in-house software is my department. And I won't use F***** Excel for it either

Every time I get invited to another recurring meeting, a part of my soul dies

I don't know if I'd quite say it's MY specialty yet but the company I work for specializes in automation. I'm technically a support/DevOps person atm but they've got me heading more more back into dev work (which is good)

Next time I have to negotiate a contract I'm gonna ask for x hourly but 2x for meetings

Fuck meetings

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to do a military contract as a programmer. Then I remember those guys are always the ones who get murdered on NCIS

Y'all ever sneeze so hard you hurt your whole upper body?

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-

List things I think at work

1. DevRant's gonna love this

I'm so used to camel casing variable names that when I wasn't concentrating properly just now I called a variable "outPut"

That moment when the one meeting about something I actually care about gets me out of 3 other meetings
