No, no I can't.

Exactly what I came to say, alerts need tuning if you're having to check your monitoring tools by hand.

There's no magic wand fix to healthcare, it and the related insurance industry are incredibly busted.

What I am dead certain of though is that involving the government in it will be worse, not better.

hopefully we never will - the last thing I want the government MORE involved in is healthcare

That's because it is. That was human prompted.

Yes, surely the German government telling it's people what to do has never gotten them in trouble in the past...

And they were able to get there because they made good games.

Opening a 20k LOC PR is an actively hostile move worthy of an appropriate response.

Closed > will not review > make more atomic changes.

Just out here raw-dogging the internet...

Presence in the DB allows for downstream fraud, even by accident. If that DB is the source of truth for SS payouts elsewhere, clean up the data. There's no reason for it to be there.

Spoken like someone who's never done Linux sysadmin at scale.

I've always heard that adding another 9 adds another 3 zeros to the cost.

He's also been sued by Mitchell - multiple times now I think?

But you could find a group you enjoyed playing with and learn from them. I spent hundreds of hours in a UT2k4 server in Team Arena Mode warmup just practicing air rockets, shock combos, and flick lightning gun headshots. RIP UT2k4

Why is it so hard to believe that a giant software project was mismanaged? Not like anyone has ever seen that before.

I'd much rather use Ansible to configure a fleet of identical systems (either all at once or over time) than SSH and configure by hand thanks.

So HTTP is the old school Star Wars fans pretending the prequels don't exist?

As a former sysadmin who had part of his career in that paradigm, I never again want to wait until 10:30 PM to run manual production deployments handed to me by a developer and hoping their documentation was correct.

Give me CI/CD pipelines deploying containers to a k8s cluster during the day.

Just coming back around to this, we also used Splunk consultants for their SIEM solution and the first one we got wasn't very good, but the second was amazing (I wish we could have hired her directly).

The guy we had help us tune our clusters after I rebuilt them all was also very good. Fortunately I'd done most everything by the books and we overkilled the nodes with hardware (we had some older hypervisor nodes lying around I stole for Splunk).

And you're glossing over the pain points that drove the industry to coin DevOps - those times when the zip didn't contain everything it needed to run in production properly and the admin guy had to call the dev multiple times in the middle of the night because their app didn't start properly on deployment. Or the install/startup procedure wasn't documented properly. Or it changed and the document didn't get updated. Or there was a new, required environment variable that didn't get mentioned in documentation anywhere. Or a new, required library was on the dev's local workstation and not on the server. etc etc

And implement them poorly and then wish for an admin guy or SRE when things go sideways at 3AM and production is down.

It does Enterprise level logging better than any other tool I've ever used.

And it drains your bank account.

Anecdotal - I took over a small, ill maintained Splunk installation at $JOB-2 and reworked it following Splunks current best-practices and it ran like a top as of when I left that place. Having done that process I'm fully convinced that if you're going to run Splunk on-prem you need a dedicated sysadmin for it that knows Splunk's stack. And that kind of person isn't cheap to hire or keep in that role.

I hate this.

I can't wait to try it out.

I've also swapped to colima and the only thing I struggle with sometimes is just remembering the executable name to start it up :D

edit - I'm an upside down android with antennae?

Technically if the police department doesn't have competition isn't that the opposite of Free Market?

This makes it seem like meaningful work cannot happen outside of a startup environment, which is patently not true.

As long as upvotes can be manipulated (multiple accounts/bots) then having downvotes in places to reduce noise is necessary IMHO

Meanwhile the place I work writes all microservices in go and all of my team's (DevOps) tools are also written in go...
