No, we need to be able to charge a subscription fee to our data. That’s the fucking answer no one’s brought up.

30 free trial? Oh you want my CC info? Yes, sure. That’ll be $3.99/mo for my CC data, cookies collected for this transaction, PII, etc. I’ll need indisputable proof that you and nobody else are no longer using it in order to stop charging you.

H…handball champion?

I am also 6’7"… Ish, haha. Tagged as fellow tall. There’s your explanation.

I am exactly 2m. So just shy, but more than 6’6".

I am actually mostly body, so my butts lower than yours. Idk, I’m curious if this is better or worse for my hamstring in a cramp? Idk if the back muscles it connects to affect it or not lol. Idk if it makes it worse either way though.

My go to is to Indian leg wrestle a wall when it cramps up. Like I scoot my ass past the wall and raise my cramping leg to get my heel locked onto the wall past 90° and force my knee to lock (with my hands if I need to which, for anyone reading that has never experienced this, is basically necessary. Your hamstring is stronger than most of your leg, save your groin, but it’s basically unable to affect the hamstring in a cramp. So your biceps and triceps are necessary sometimes.)

The physics make less sense to me but I actually end up getting relief putting my calf on the arm of a couch while I crunch my abs forward as hard as I can. Having a partner hold you in place here would be ideal as far as I’ve felt.

Cheers homie. Good luck. The world was designed for a max of 6’5". We have it ok. But damn. Cheers.

With all muscle cramps. Do what feels counterintuitive.

The muscle contracts/tightens. Stretching it hurts more, but it is what must be done.

For when someone reading this has a hamstring cramp… You might wanna figure out that stretch ahead of time. It’s a bit heftier than the calf muscle and puts up a better fight.

Bro tried dabs for the first time

And then oh no twitter is t worth nearly what I bought!

I know!! I’ll buy it with Tesla. That way Teslas profits will offset the twitter losses.

Oh no! Elon gets outed as a Nazi by doing a very public Nazi salute, and fucks up foreign aid and the federal government with a bunch of shit stain kids! And now Tesla isn’t in any of the deals Elon wanted to get by playing politics, Now Teslas aren’t doing well!

I know!! I’ll buy Tesla with spaceX…

Elon musk is a human pyramid scheme. And 401ks are holding the bag on his eventual rug pull.

As someone who was a certified cicerone, you got no idea how accurate this is.

Make no mistake. Everyone who gets into alcohol did so because they like to be drunk. A significant proportion are alcoholics.

Under promise and over deliver is still king.

“I cannot guarantee something won’t go sideways. I need at least 3 weekends of overtime available to be certain before it’s released.”

Deliver it 10 days later. Or 12, after relaxing for a day or two.

Your timeframe stands. New project? Do it again. Give yourself ~100-150% extra room.

sad Mavis Beacon sounds

It tells me my job is safe, which is nice.

To assume the creator of rsync is vibe coding because they used AI is ridiculous.

Wareham?

Shoreham.

I bring up nouns you can verb all the time. It’s a great ice breaker, especially because so many are bodily functions. You can poop a poop. You can pee pee. You can fart a fart.

You can smell a smell, you can run an run, you can cough a cough, you can text text, you can photograph a photograph…

I mean if it describes what you do accurately then they won’t be able to say much other than yes.

So oddly tier iii is just tier 2. Most places don’t have a tier 2.

1 years experience as sysadmin is great. Here’s the neat little trick no one tells you: what you say your job is on your resume should reflect WHAT YOU DO. Not the title of what you were hired for

Are you doing dev ops at a small outfit as a support engineer? Your resume should not say “support engineer.” It should say what your tasks reflect to the market. Not what some dude said your position is.

I had this issue with workday job applications and my alma mater. Just wasn’t in their list. And Ive never had a single response from a single workday application.

So good luck to all 15000 students and ~300000 alums out there 🤙😎

I’m sure the job postings will say, but many dev ops roles are looking for someone with senior experience. Like 8-10 years or the resume is ignored.

Id say the way to beat this is look for tier iii roles for folks that don’t know what they need is dev ops. Explain the value of what you want to do as a sysadmin to bring value. Then just write dev ops on your resume when you wind up doing dev ops.

Holy fucking pretentious douche, batman! Catch my block list.

100% building a home lab and being able to talk about it openly, from memory, in your own words, from experience, is invaluable for interviews.

I might update this. I might not. I have a lot to say but In out drinking.

All I will say now is save this list. You’ll look back at it in 5 years and wonder what half of those things are.

…

Okay a bit more from the bar:

If you want dev sec ops, grafana, elk, build dashboards, get your agents setup in your fleet, get it all secure locally. That alone will impress any interviewer who knows anything.

Dev ops specifically? Focus on building a local GitLab instance. Use grafana to monitor it. Run some app that has a busy db. Grafana dashboards on that. Oh my goodness, what a HOG you are GitLab! Tune it for your env. Purposely misconfigure something to watch, idk, the RAM keep growing because you didn’t setup redis or some shit.

The sea is vast. You’re hungry. Employers will see that once you land interviews.

If you want a ton of dev sec ops ideas, I am a good sounding board. Regular dev ops isn’t my daily grind so I know a bit less. What I do know is if you’re not ready to rebuild a multi node cluster some night after hours, you’re not quite a boss (doesn’t mean you’re not ready). So, emulate that nightmare.

Back to drinking 🍻

Edit: double check your *arr ideas bc afaik most of those were abandoned after a few major vulns were uncovered. That was months ago so that may be old hat.

Or worse, bear-proof robot dogs…
