My website was flagged and banned from showing Google ads because of friendly people clicking ads there. That happened like 10 years ago. I tried applying for showing ads again few years ago, and was still denied. All because helpful people, who accumulated maybe half an euro for my account.

So, do that to those who you hate instead, it can really mess one up.

Congrats!

I'm approaching my own one year mark... And I dream when I can start hiring people. Most likely not in six months, but.... Someday.

That's nasty situation. I was in similar, which lasted quite a while and ended in terminating my contract. Wasn't able to fix situation, as others didn't want to talk at all, only told owners that they don't trust me and want me out.

If you want to stay there, I'd imagine being open and willing to listen what others feel that is causing that lack of trust. Just listen, don't go defending or talking them down. Only afterwards if you feel it is unjust, make calmly your point how you see things.

It is very same as why people are paying for SaaS, when they could do same for free. Exactly same thing and motivations.

Age old wisdom proves to be right. Ranting makes things move forward.

Few hours ago this PR got reviewed and style changes got requested.

@ReverendLovejoy I could, and I have used hacky solution for myself. However, I'm not only one suffering. There are also others who have added "me too" messages to my original issue.

And project ain't abandoned. There has been dozen new versions released meanwhile. There has been over hundred PR's accepted, many of them being much more recent than mine.

I'm venting this here, as this frustrates me a lot. Venting in github wouldn't make any difference, at least towards good outcome, I'd reckon.

This is project backed by Facebook, and ain't any small, insignificant project with single guy coding at their free time. That's why it frustrates enough that I wanted to do this rant.

I started with Mandrake, then some Red Hat, and then did few Linux from scratch, until I settled to Slackware. I loved it.

Definitely using bitwise if wanting to have flexible roles/permissions. In company where I worked before, we used them well over ten years.

Incremental user levels works for small scale. Once there are more options and need to have wide variety different permissions, linear userlevels cause huge mess, where logic doesn't help anymore.

I've turned down many offers during years. If it doesn't feel right, and I can't find good angle for myself out of it, then it is decline. Did it while I was full time employed, and done it many times now in past six months when looking for new thing, without h current position.

When Epic was hacked, I remember receiving email from them regarding it, and forced password change.
Didn't realize back then how bad leak it was though.

This is good place to keep track how safe you are:

Thank you very much! May your data be safe and services uninterrupted!

Idea of docker compose is to start multiple services together, so you have complex system managed with one tool.

They are however individual docker containers, so read that docker compose config what they are, and start them independently if you want. Then they don't though communicate with each other as flawlessly, but if you want to see just one component, that's easy way to do it.

@parzi GDPR doesn't work like that.

And if one would try to take GDPR in account there, your opt-out would be resigning from your job.

Well, sun doesn't set here during summer really. Some people adapt to that, others simply go crazy.

All windows Pro license keys since Windows XP Pro work for that upgrade. So if you have old machine around, you can use that code. Most of those cheap codes sold everywhere are also old windows XP pro codes. That's why they are so cheap.

They are not deleted. Old messages disappear from you, but if you at any point upgrade to paying plan, all old messages pop back up and are searchable and so on.

Over the years I have ran several communities around games. I have discovered that there are two steps that are important to cross.
First is 10 active users. It apparently validates your existence to others.
Second 20 active users (and having concurrent active users around 10), after that people find you organically and things just grow.

It ha always been struggle to get that ten people, if I start alone. But if I collect that ten initially, and then launch, it goes fast and smooth.

Congrats @meowijuanas! That is great opportunity for you!

@meowijuanas so... How did that interview go?

Had used prometheus&grafana. Before that Nagios&munin. Also used Cacti at one point.

Don't worry about tools. They are important, but you are going to intern position, so you are going to learn. So focus how you are good candidate to learn.

DevOps is all about culture and right mentality. Get that clear to yourself, like how to answer to question "Explain/summarize DevOps in one sentence (or 2-3 sentences)."

Get to know basics of CALMR and also SAFe. You don't have to be expert, but know what they are.

DevOps is my passion, I've been doing it before DevOps was hype thing and had name... So this rant tickled me enough to make account here, just to reply to you. :D
