At my office always waiting for gitlab runners and kubernetes to get my instances up, takes sooooo long

Did anyone here use the L shift +O shorthand for load? I feel like I never see it mentioned anywhere

Sneakernet was great back then

I am also this old. C64 for life

My first computer had the following to get a directory listing of a floppy: LOAD”$”,8 That’s how old I am

I am thanks to a combination of my learning how credit should actually be used and careful budgeting as well as an excellent choice to get into information technology. I can actually support my adult son as well as take care of his brother and my disabled wife and living what would’ve largely been considered middle class by their standard. At this point they were getting mortgage calls for juggling payments and spending wrecklessly while living in a double wide mobile home in the rural appalachias.

According to my high schooler this would be inaccurate, as in his school people would be on their phones, creating tiktoks, screaming across the room at each other and barely getting anything done. This does resemble my high school experience like 20 years ago lol

This news has me worried that Gaza will be the new camp for “undesirables” that we’re struggling to deport. I sure hope I am wrong.

Feel your pain there, my second and longest role was doing automated phone systems(IVR) and sadly Everytime I call another company I hear all of their fuckups

You would be forwarding ingress traffic(traffic not originating from your internal network) to 443/80, this doesn’t affect egress requests(requests from users inside your network requesting external sites) so it wouldn’t break your internal DNS resolution of sites. All traffic heading to your router from outside origins would be pushed to your reverse proxy where you can then route however you please to whatever machine/port your apps live on.

Even the ones you haven’t listened to since the late 1900’s? I mean the ones you think rock are probably ones that you continue to listen to well past high school

Really shows me how traumatized I am by United Health Care when I see UHC and it immediately brings them to mind and not Universal. I had to put in some work to understand that Acronym

Yeah we need to deflate the disproportionately high pricing of the health care caused by insurance as well, if we could get it at the national level we could eliminate a lot of the back office overhead, and then maybe negotiate a revisit of the master charge list so that Tylenol in hospital isn’t something crazy like $250 dollars a dose. State by state this would probably be much more difficult.

Yep, they talked about it a bit during my hiring what I wanted my title to be since they are paid the same and do the same tasks(in addition to some coding expectations). I’m glad I chose architect, but ultimately they squeezed me out of that with RTO mandates for architects and above.

Seems to be a trend, my boss was telling me that the VP’s in our org think we need more lead devs and less solutions architects, though they would functionally be doing largely the same role, meetings, planning, design, interfacing with teams they are dependent on, annual technology reviews etc. I think it’s going to bite them in the end

Now you can slam the top of the machine to boot it up

I had to learn how to use that in the military, used to call it crashinal rose

The CenturyLink fiber plan is pretty nice, me and my brother in law are on it and it runs as advertised and I’ve had maybe 2 outages in the 3 years I’ve had it, unlike my previous provider where it would be like 1 per quarter
