What's the magic word?

I recently upgraded my gaming PC. It was a pre-built MSI Trident-X, which I bought three years ago because it had standard parts. It made it easy to move to an ultra slim SFF case with a new video card.

If you're sick, just type "I'm feeling sick today"

Don't give a full paragraph of all the drugs you're talking and all your symptoms. That's just cringe.

Employee as a Service

One of the projects started a year ago was to replace our tech/status dashboard. Two of our new people were even dedicated to developing it full time for 6 ~ 8 months. I found out today the entire board is gone, and it's been replaced to a link to Service Now.

Nearly a year of work, completely flushed down the tubes. Glad I wasn't on that project.

Last year I switched to a dedicated server with several IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Getting Docker to direct traffic (both ingress/egress) to specific IP addresses is way more difficult than it should be. I wrote a tutorial for anyone else who's interested:

The new guy goes on and on an on during Stand. He covers absolutely every little fucking thing he's done with anyone he's worked with.

Our new project manager laughs at EVERYTHING. It's not that funny man.

The support guy is also super annoying. We found out he was homeschooled the other day. That explains a lot.

Our new project manager is super cringe. It's made daily stands just horrible. It turns out he's come schooled. Oh man ... that explains so much.

Logic gate

Is anyone else having trouble posting images? I've tried in FireFox and Chrome and for the past few days, any time I attach an image to post as a joke/meme, the post button switches to the loading icon and then goes straight back. There's no error message.

What do network admins wear on formal occasions? Cable ties!

Did you solve the issue?

Just need to install some dependencies

So I can only skip the update with a pro account?! 😡

Just trying to login

Did I miss-type my password twice, or am I fired?

Everyone has seen at least one comment like this.

We recently pulled in a developer onto the devops team, and also our manager was fired a month ago. Everything devops is Python/Go but all our developers are in Clojure or Node. He's recently been writing a lot of stuff on Clojure and I didn't get an opportunity to bring it up at the last retro.

Recently he changed all our old Go projects to use a CI-pipeline he built, even though I wrote a build tool, with tests, that does everything his pipeline does, in Python .. over two years ago. When I asked him why he doesn't just use our existing builder, he responds saying he doesn't know why he should use some tool/script just because it exists ... um, everything we've built uses it?! 😡

Our last manager was a dick and I understand why they let him go, but he also would put this guy in his place. He's literally made is own little "devops roadmap" for himself and shared it out with the team. It's all about his personal goals and what he wants.

Why is this not returning any of my data?
