C levels look the same as us when they're in their underwear

I hate C level/partner worshippers

#

I was in front of the BoD when getting hired on and I told them this:

"You are hiring me because you think I am more capable of doing the job than you are. You are paying for my experience. I expect you to listen to me."

#

Its business. Dont expect me to not be to the point about it.

#

Im here to get shit done and do my job.

#

Not pander to your feelings and power complex

One of the VPs laughed and I knew I was in the right place

In the end, C-Levels/VPs/Partners/Execs are useless without those under them

@forest edge we do brown cheese or strawberry jam usually

You can see the brown cheese poking out in one corner of it

hearty depot
#

had to google brown cheese
Brunost, made with whey and milk and/or cream. The main ingredient, whey, is a byproduct of the cheese making process, it is what is left when the cheese is removed from the milk. Therefore, brunost is not technically cheese, and it does not taste like cheese

clear ferry
#

It tastes very sweet

#

We use it in sauces too

#

Wikipeda also says; The texture is firm, but slightly softer than Gouda cheese, for example, and lends itself well to cutting and shaping. It does not crumble like hard cheeses. The taste is sweet, and best described as caramel-like

Just nuked my ha_os install out of frustration with it, thinking of doing supervised instead this time, any advice (on picking between the two)?

My main thoughts for wanting supervised are so I can actually get to a real bash terminal so I can hook other things up (could not figure out a way to do so under ha_os) and to help simplify the networking in general.

If I would want to run a for loop with snmpget and I was interested in storing both the IP of the host I'm polling and the last three characters of the output to a file for every for so for example for ip in 192.168.1.{32..99} do 'snmpget -v2c -c private $ip iso.3.6.1.2.1.4.22.1.3.629' and I would like to store the last three chars of the OID, I figured grep -o '...$' will store the three chars I want there, but how would I store the complete IP of each for together with the three characters? and append those to a file at the same time ? ๐Ÿค”

#

or actually, I can just store the whole command, that way I know which OID I'm storing it for, because I'm going to poll two different ones

#

@clear ferry do nested groupings work in regex?

#

looks like this would work

#

\$ip (.*(...))$

#

$1 would give you the whole IP, $2 would give you just the last 3

clear ferry
#

Since this is for 320 nodes I've fallen back to place it on a shared storage volume, and output the commands to local files instead, now I just need to find a way to make this ipmitool lan print | grep "IP Address" | grep -oE '((1?[0-9][0-9]?|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])\.){3}(1?[0-9][0-9]?|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])' a bash variable that I can use in the snmpget -v2c -c private $ip OID instead, then I'll log that with datestamps to an appending file I though with this

while true ; do
        echo -n `date --rfc-3339=seconds`","
        echo -n `hostname`","
        snmpget -v2c -c private $ip OID

so, should I pipe to a file inside the .sh or start the .sh with a pipe to file ๐Ÿค”

I tend to prefer passing the file as an argument

as in tinkerer.sh >> file.log ?

getopts FTW

clear ferry
#

ohhhhhhh

clever mortar
#

Though I tend to zsh rather than bash

unreal orbit
#

Is there a reason for that or just cause?

clever mortar
#

Mostly because zsh, like ksh before it, supports external functions

#

So I can re-use my code more easily

#

For example, I can write a function that parses the ipmitool output to extract the IP, and then any time I need to do that in the future I can just call that function

#

If I improve the function, everything gets the improvement

unreal orbit
#

I see, makes sense

clear ferry
#

I need to deepdive more into shell scripting....

strange vapor
#

@clear ferry You can do the same with most shell languages. For example in bash, throw the functions/aliases into a file, and then just source filename to bring them into the current shell.

clear ferry
#

That one I actually knew PepeLightsabers

#

I've worked with Linux for 20 years, but I've barely scraped surfaces, it's mostly just to get by, I've never had day to day managing of it, which is the killer of all ingenuity

clever mortar
#

Yeah, but with zsh you just say hey, look in this path for your functions

#

You can even use shell magic in there, so that you can auto-build paths based off the script name or folder...

#

Now you have a default location, a location for this "package" and a location for this script in that package blob_dance

strange vapor
#

I used to work with a guy who wrote proper full scale apps with just sh. His primary reasoning was that he was a BSD fan and sh is always available....

He did have a massive library of functions to help

PoE is a godsend at times

When I bought my edgerouter x and unifi AP I was so excited when I realized I could power both the router and AP with the PoE injector that comes with the AP

mild tapir
#

There is something I really want to try despite it being technically inefficient.
Did you know you can send DC and AC current over the same wire?

#

You use something called a Bias-T. Its used to power things like Pre-Amps and other devices in radio applications up the transmission line.

#

A bias t injects the DC into the AC line at the source and you use another bias t at the end to extract the DC

#

So what if you built a socket that has a switch on it that can switch between AC and DC power?

#

Ofc you cant send DC a long distance so its really kinda useless except in a single branch

#

Prob a really stupid idea in practice but it would be an interesting project

New cases in Ireland are down in low double figures at the moment. However, the pubs reopened yesterday, and some people decided to go on day long benders despite restrictions in place ๐Ÿ˜ฆ Expecting a surge in two weeks time

Of course I donโ€™t hear from everyone, but the cases you do hear about are mostly just, โ€œI had a fever and no other symptomsโ€. The 30 somethings are out and about and saying feck it

#

Masks are now mandatory in my state in places where you canโ€™t social distance. I believe in masks but they way they are being used by most probably isnโ€™t effective.

When we truly get down to zero and stay there, only then will organisations have the confidence to start hiring again

#

Do projects, consulting, advertising, events etc

#

So it has a huge effect on our economy when there's still even a trickle

green inlet
#

Really? Thatโ€™s a shame.

@hushed basalt I've intereviewed two people so far this week for my team. Going to be a pain to train up someone who's working remotely, but we need more bodies, so....

green inlet
#

A lot of businesses are opening up here. They have plastic partitions in front of registers, 6 ft markers on the floors, shoes, shirt and masks required.

clear ferry
#

we have been open for over a month for 99% of businesses

#

just plastic partitions and 1m distance

#

@green inlet The Guardian were reporting on that yesterday

#

Most likely any new strain is going to be considered an "Oh F**k!!" moment now even if the majority of them are relatively harmless.

I drink bleach in my coffee every morning as a precautionary measure anyway

@hushed basalt my managers and my managers manager, and her managers manager reached out to me and said "you will NOT be forced to take any form of leave, please stay"

But no one is willing to spend if it's not a direct short term benefit

They're afraid of everything crashing again like it did earlier this year.

Crashing? Has Australia become a third world country?

re: customs. They're not worried about confectionaries. They're worried about things that carry biorisks

Does Norway have taco Tuesday?

hushed basalt
#

They have waffle n-day

strange vapor
#

@hushed basalt Our problem is that we sort of need a more Junior person as we're sort of top heavy in the team!

green inlet
#

Waffles with cheese and jam.....everyone knows a proper waffles has peanut butter and syrup.

clear ferry
#

I'm middle-heavy

#

brown cheese or gtfo btw @green inlet

#

๐Ÿคฃ

#

we usually have taco friday though

#

but in our house we eat taco atleast twice a week

#

taco is the most popular dinner dish in norway

green inlet
#

Now see, you do have a good side ๐Ÿคฃ

clear ferry
green inlet
#

Now try peanut butter and syrup on your waffles

#

I guess I should ask. Not seal or whale tacos correct?

clear ferry
#

that would be possible

#

but we do regular ground beef usually

#

which means I get a taste of some raw ground beef whenever we make it togaDROOL

green inlet
#

With Carolina reaper sauce I hope

clear ferry
#

well, we do different hotsauces, varying intensity depending on my asshole

#

๐Ÿคฃ

green inlet
#

Yes, well Carolina Reaper is a definite intensity on your asshole.

clear ferry
#

Think the hottest sauce we have used is rated at 450.000 scovilles

#

then we only use a little and water it out for inclusion in our spring rolls

Off to exercise. Update day ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐ŸŒฎ

Huff and puff and spit and cough as I get my daily cardio in. I look like an old ford model t trying to make it around the neighborhood 4 times.

You look like a regular person at walmart you say

trying to setup openvpn with 2fa from opnsense

go home openvpn, you are drunk

I'm probably gonna switch back to OpenVPN from wireguard...my work and some other networks I connect to block wireguard

clear ferry
#

really

scenic radish
#

Didn't realize wireguard doesn't obfuscate its traffic

clear ferry
#

I usually see blocking of openvpn, because UDP lulz

scenic radish
#

Wireguard is UDP too

clear ferry

oh right it is

#

I thought it was TCP

I'm way down in the infrastructure level keeping the basics up and running! They don't let me near customers ๐Ÿ™‚

clever mortar
#

I run Wireguard and OpenVPN (on UDP and TCP) to increase the odds of being able to get through firewalls ๐Ÿ˜„

#

443/TCP FTW ๐Ÿ˜›

strange vapor
#

@clever mortar If using OpenVPN, start using sslh as well. Really cool little proxy that runs on port 443. If it detects https, it redirects to Apache, OpenVPN to OpenVPN and handles SSH as well.

clever mortar
#

Interesting...

scenic radish
#

yeah i guess i could run both...looks like it's possible to install the other protocol with pivpn

strange vapor
#

Used to use that along with Corkscrew to get around silly proxy restrcitions.

Do you use ansible much @strange vapor

last dirge
#

that's the redhat devops thing, right?

hushed basalt
#

Config management yeah,

last dirge
#

I haven't used ansible but have used chef, puppet, and salt

#

the ops guys at work are supposed to be "learning ansible"

hushed basalt
#

I've heard good things about salt

last dirge
#

so I guess I'll end up having to do it

#

I liked salt a lot

#

I wrote a java app that let people WYSIWYG VM instances in vsphere

hushed basalt
#

I thought someone would be more likely to go from ansible to salt not the other way around

last dirge
#

used salt to configure the instance after it was PXI booted

#

the guy in charge of infrastructure is REALLY freaked out by open source stuff

#

that doesn't have immediate, inbuilt support

#

even though he's never once used or needed the inbuilt support

#

so we pay out the ass for RHN even though the only thing they use it for is patches

rich kettle
#

one of these years i will get around to ansible/chef

clear ferry
#

I should get around to ansible really soon

#

since I'm supposed to deploy some 500 servers with it sometime around christmas

#

๐Ÿค”

#

I'll start looking at it around the 14th of December then

strange vapor
#

@hushed basalt Primarily using Terrafrom these days, but Ansible is the glue holding some of it together!

hushed basalt
#

@last dirge I'd rather get "support" from vetted consultants rather than enterprise support half the time

last dirge
#

@hushed basalt no kidding

hushed basalt
#

Especially when you're not directly consuming their service, but using their tools

#

As in you're not depending on their servers

#

I need to look into terraform

#

I wouldn't recommend ansible if you can avoid it @last dirge

last dirge

I liked salt the best of the stuff I've used

it's lightweight
