I call dare.
Use vim for everything! -
Never would I write that... This is from a launch.bat for a jboss on windows...
Never would I willingly soil my hands with such heressy. -
@PonySlaystation well freebsd gets this done pretty well... And it's free
-
Qtpass
It's gpg secured, every pass is a file, which alliws distribution of single keys, which is jandy for shared credentials...
And it supports git -
@irene o.O okay...

Critical: no more space on disk
File System error: shutting down now -
I suppose...it still runs...
According to some rather brief docs it had an interesting usecase...
it talked to the eclipse clients on the dev laptops...
Wanna hear one more?
The docs are from 2008... -
Illumos is an interesting company, when their people can analyse such stuff.

Look into framebuffer image viewer or the kiosk mode wm of raspian...
Or you also could start without a wm and write your browser into the .xinitrc....should do the trick -
@tinybyte this friday we discovered, that our db2 instances, that run on aix aren't running on the vm cluster, but on powerpc cores
The ntp on these fuckers run out of sync randomly but often
Updating is utter madness according to our dba. Thus we don't even have python 2.7
Therefore using ansible to maintain the env is a pain.
Oh and LDAP? AIX won't let you talk to that...
We also have to deal with websphere application servers and mqs
The guys, who wrote the shell scripts deserve a serious beating, bestcase with a printed version of the file system hierarchy standard and the output of man hier of almost any professionally used distro
These people built a tool that is called imcl or something like that. This runs on sles, but neither on debian nor centos. It doesn't come with a help flag, a debug mode or a man page
A year ago i had to strace this program to find out, what the problem is... Fucking enterprise ... -

Advanced bash scripting guide helped a lot... Also for general scripting

You might want to add, that telekom in Germany is one of the better paying companies here...

10. Do retrospectives, post mortems if needed - strive to make the next deployment less horrible
Until you can trigger deployment on Friday 16 o'clock, write a mail to all people, who are impacted by the deployment, go take a dump, get back to your desk, check, if everything is still doing and then have a nice weekend -
1. Have a backup in place
2. Know restore works
3. Know what changes
4. Know what will break on the way
5. Assume what will break
6. Brace yourself for the unexpected
7. Arrange stand ins at management, dev, op, hardware people, sec
8. Arrange points of return and points of no return
9. Remove as many moving parts of these parts as possible -
Btw. Di you folks know the ncage plugin?
Look for it in the plugins of chrome and Firefox. pure gold -
You forgot the reset the keyboard layout to neo2 or colemak
-
In Germany we had at least the Grundgesetz/Constitution...
We were told basic stuff about the other books of law
Basics of lawmaking
Sure more would have been nice...
And taxation is a topic on its own -
I learnt about the workings of my home country and the EU...
Taxation is made so weird, so nobody understand s it -
I am thinking of regular school...
My whole point is, that most of school hasn't changed over the last decades... At least not to the better...
I heard, that primary school kids in Sweden use Minecraft to learn creative work, combinatory abilities, 3D imagination, abstraction, exploring unknown environments find playful solutions...
Maybe someone is here to verify or falsify this description... -
You are right
I was thinking more on the feature stuff... And analytics probably...
Like, does our new ui work for the customers?
Is the search performant? Do we have to give in more data for a more accurate search, what has it to get or to deliver to raise the performance
What is actually bought? Does the paper trail deliver all needed data in a reasonable time
How about fallout security?
Backups? Restore procedures?
The whole monty -
You may like the phoenix project. I devoured it in like 2 days

I don't know the Zen of repairing a motorcycle...
Is it worth reading? -
Yet we had to learn the molecular mass of hydrogen... How is this fundamental?
Have you seen idiocracy?
At one point in time we will be ruled by our benevolent ai driven selflearning overlords and all the humans, who even begin to understand, that they are manmade, have been died out long time ago...
We just accept the heavenly fate, that's what I am afraid of. -
Btw: with storage i meant, chopping your data in blocks, encrypting, error checking, redundantly saving the data
Usually cloud has multiple implications for software development
One is, that you need to differentiate the components of your app, like front-end/backend/data storage (database)
And you want everything except the data storage to be non persistent... You should be able to kick away one instance of your front-end units and your system starts a new instance if needed, without human interaction
This also means a huge mind change in seing your servers...
You have kettle, not pet...
If you try to use the possibility of cloud, you don't treat your server, you shoot it in the head, analyse it's carcas, cure the problem and deploy
This is hard, very hard to archieve, yet worth aspiring imo. -
There are solutions that work like that...
You reserve, lets say 10gb of your drive, 100000 people do that
Then the system stores the blocks of your files with storage magic redundantly on all the hosts and if one country decides to flip the internet switch off, you may still be fine, since you have a distributed system
But know, that this is not the default cloud strategy
