But it would also be replaces by something else equily as shitty. The federal government doesn’t move fast enough to block stuff like this by name.

I has to be something broad, and enforceable. Tic tok has already been doing its thing for like 5 years.

Depends if you want to assign IP addresses or not. If you don’t, you just want your own section of the same lan, I.e.all your devices connected to your router but let dhcp pass through then you can just set itnup as an extender

I don’t know if that’s because its expensive or hard to find but don’t give your self an out for a perceived excuse. At least work up until you hit and actual bump in the road

Absolutely, it seems to me that a larger than normal portion of the IT industry is full of people with ADHD. Especially systems, networking and security type jobs where knowing a little about everything and then being willing to dive deep on something is extremely helpful.

Large complex systems require large complex knowledge bases to run, and curious people that tend to learn everything about something that catches their attention instead of shrug and walk away as soon as its working endup having diverse skillsets.

Obviously, you’ll still have to learn to moderate it if you want to be employable. But, there’s defiantly a world out there where curious people that love to learn a stack of assorted skills and are quick pattern matchers can excell.

Even better, go find yourself a poorly maintained and managed stack where everything is a fire drill and all the sudden you’re in focus mode all the time. Your work queue is just a stack of the most pressing issues and your brain is wired to be energized by the new, unknown and urgent.

Some people fatigue from being presented a giant unknown issue while someone is standing behind them with a stop watch or, more likely a lost revenue counter. Not you, buddy, that’s you’re home turf. ‘Mean time to recovery’ of complex systems that you’ve never even heard of isajist the score on your favorite game.

Now, here’s a big big caveat. You can’t live your life in a healthy way running under stress 100% of the time. And you can’t deliver longer term system improvements that solve the stress problem by just banking on stress to fix your executive function. So at a certain point, it starts to be career limiting.

You’ll go from the tech that can figure anything out to the engineer that knows the whole system but can’t drive meaningful process improvements and keeps the stack in the same disarray. Your job as you advance is to make to make your massive systems look less like your brain over time.

And here’s the good news. You have a deep catalogue of failure modes in your head. And your gut instinct is going to be right a lot of times as you start to build or replace systems.

The catch, at this stage is that you’ll need to learn how to articulate your years of high pressure undocumented fixes (instincts) into guiding principles you can show to people and explaine why its better.

You’ll have yo learn how to timebox deep exploration, how to finish your full tasks, how to plan and predict the amount of time it takes you to get things done.

I should do a more detailed writeup at some point. But, let’s be honest. . .

I expect there are many trades like this, some where you can just live in that world where work comes out of a queue and you work until its not an emergency. I bet being an EMT or other type of first responder, would be a good ffromnt I assume a lot of kitchen staff in fast paced restaurants all have it.

I worked as a tech for years in factories with large machine and convayence systems, more mechanical than computer, same deal.

I’ve been a Machinery operator, and that was great, I could hyperfocuse and deliver, good with the machines because your predicting how your actions will affect the thing the machine is operating on. And, if you’re interested in the struggle for perfect efficiency with your machine, you can play the game where you try to cut every available motion to only essentials. Did you know if you’re loading a truck far away, its still (almost always) faster to return to your pile backwards than to turn twice? You’ll know that because you’ve got the brain capacity to excel at your job while tracking patterns and doing side quests.

Did you know that roughly 10-15% of the wear that is put on the skid skidsteer tires is unnecessary? That’s right, I ran a machine with bike tire odometers on all for tires. If you lift the front tires with the bucket whenever its empty and you turn you can save a considerable amount of rotations on your tires. But do note, that the optimal tire savings is inversely proportional to the replacement time on the front bucket edge, so factor in the surface you’re turning on, can this turn be moved from the street to the lawn without slowing total round trip? You’d want a stop watch in your cab for that shit. Can I make a single wide turn instead of a tank to save rubber without slowing down my total speed? Which also brings us back to, can I keep time and just go backwards one way so I never have to turn at all? Hey its 5pm . . .

ADHD is kinda cool in some ways. No one thinks about that shit the same way you will. What really sucks is the start of your life is the school part, and that is hard all the way around, but when you get out into the real world, there’s all sorts of things you can do and probably do better than other people, but you have to learn to work within the constraints your mind gives you.

You need an OS app to run and a setting in the BIOS. The app at the OS level gives a heartbeat to the watchdog module on the mother board. If you miss some heartbeats, the firmware on the motherboard sends the reset command.

No, this is a tool that can be used in a well designed architecture. Would I do this with a single database server, probably not. Would I ever run a single database server? Also probably not.

Also, by this point, you’ve probably already kernel panicked or something. There’s not much left that can be saved and you probably needed that backup five minutes before the host came up.

Check if your motherboard has a watchdog function. If the OS can’t ping the watchdog every 5 min or whatever you set it to, the board resets.

Myrecommendations is probably to host a next cloud instance. Does all the standard ‘cloud stuff’. File, contact, calendar sync, plus a bunch if other stuff if you want to add it via plugins. If you’re patient, and a single use you can host it on basically anything. If you decide you want to add users or have a faster site, you can go down the route of sorting out faster hardware or better specs and suck.

Heh, imagine the US giving out 6 months for campaign finance impropriety. Lol, about to take a hard pass on straight sedition.

I mean, its different for everyone.

For me I’ve done plenty of shifts where I got paged, slept or didn’t sleep and then worked a full day.

But at this point, if I go back to sleep, I won’t set an alarm, because I see no value in going to work like a zombie. If I end up at work but can’t focus because I was upnall night with he pager, I’ll just hit my couple meetings and call it. No point in sitting around pretending to work.

So they can read your code and use it for copilot

Um, before that, they tried to exile them to Europe and north America. What we are seeing is actually a compression of the previous timeline.

Huh, isn’t that how the Holocaust started?

I wonder what the final solution will be?

Yes, WebDAV will max your local connection. Its generally not the encryption that makes ssh slow but the fact that it is designed to give real time terminal feedback. In order for you to see each letter typed in an ssh session, the buffers are really small and it intentionally sends a tone of small packets. Great for single characters bad for large file transfer.

Its OK here and then when you need to push a config file or something but moving large files is not really what its designed for and consequently, it sucks.

Well, for starters, tftp is the wrong thing for local file transfers if you want it to be fast. The only reason its still around is because its simple and offer the only file transfer protocol that is built into the firmware of the network card.

You read that right, its a simple file transfer protocol built into every network card made in the last couple decades.

Your best bet for file transfer is probably something like a WebDAV server. Which next cloud can handle for you. You can just enable normal WebDAV on something like httpd but then you gotta handle authentication yourself. (Or allow local and connect with VPN)

Do remember that the US auto manufacturers realistically only make a few cars per year vs the 375 million people living in the us. 10 million per year is a third of a percent. Add another 10 mil for imports and we’re still under a percent.

Second, I run a fleet of kobos for the family, they alsonwork pretty well with the libraries around the area which the kids love.

Its probably not that people are shit talking behind backs and more that the people who really care are extremely vocal. Everyone that is indifferent or supportive probably doesn’t have the need to bring it up every chance they get. They have other things that worry them.

I got a bunch of heads this year to double our team footprint.

I’m using those guys to bring 1mm/month of aws cost back onsite into a kubernetes cluster as well as moving existing on prem services into the same kubernetes and a few other clusters.

I think we’ve decided the sweet spot is that we build fast with AWS and bring the winners home to lower our opex. Its a relatively nuanced look at how we build and support our products.

So, I’ve got a few heads on managing legacy, a couple on migrating legacy to on prem k8s, a couple on just managing k8s and physical host lifecycle.

And I’m just kinda floating just helping people out as needed. And I’m not a manager so I have full ability for direction setting and task creation and I don’t have to do any reviews or expense reports.

So as a systems eng, this is the best gig I’ve had in 15 years.

Its funny, my mom used to say ‘everybody has three names, the one thirm mom gave them, the one the like to be called and sorry, I didn’t catch your name’

Somw how it doesn’t apply to pronouns though that would be crazy.
