> If you talk or write with Americans, its quite clear that they don't care. A majority of them are not following any kind of news, and the ones that are follow pro government stuff.

Case in point: totally-not-a-war with Iran.

Copy-paste it to Obsidian.

Oh? Let me check. That would be wonderful

The biggest problem is what when you wrote a code for a 'totally obvious message' you yourself was in the context. Years, year, heck even weeks later you would stare at it and wonder 'why tf I didn't wrote something more verbose?'.

Anecdote: I wrote some supporting scripts to 'integrate' two systems three times - totally oblivious the second and the third times what I already did it. Both times I was somewhere 60% when I though 'wait I totally recognize this code but I just wrote it! What in Deja-vu-nation?!'.

>> Compared to Depeche Mode and other bands that only get better with age, Metallica just play the same old songs or worse

Hah!

COuple of years ago I was sipping beer in some local bar and there were some music video running on a TV. Aged angsty men with an "AMERICA YEAH bald eagle screech" vocals and visuals. "What a lame Metallica copycats" I thought. And then the title card shown up...

Except it's the plain NAT which was named 'bridge' because there were no sysadmin around slap some sense into the authors. Slirp is for 'unprivileged network namespaces' which is for a 'rootless' variants of docker ie attaching a container network to the host without the need for the root-level privileges.

It is. Just punch it's name in the search box down below.

Re-read the previous comment again.

You just need an additional chip to move from "consumer grade" (ie no parity) to "server grade" (ie have parity). ECC support is actually in the memory controller which is in the CPU for the last 15 years. No magik.

If a business which require at least a quarter million bucks worth of hardware for the basic operation yet it can't pay the market rate for someonr who would operate it - maybe the basics of that business is not okay?

This.

Companies following consultant reports will usually end up offering 50% ranges, which for SRE/SIE roles in major metros comes to around $163k. If they study BLS/FRED/CPI data and aim to pay someone enough for a 50/30/20 budget in a major metro at median rent, they’ll offer $175k to $200k+. If they want someone to stick around, buy an average home, lay roots, it’s $210k+, minimum.

“Six figures” doesn’t cover essentials anymore for almost every major city in the USA, and the last thing you can afford to cheap out on is the labor supporting your IT infra. Every corner you cut today on TC (outsourcing, offshoring, consulting) is just letting fires rage until you either parachute out or everything burns down, and that’s not a game you can afford to play with critical business technologies.

I’m not disagreeing. I’m explaining to the commenter above that $120K isn’t going to cover the costs of a full-time SRE who will be on call 24/7

If a business can’t afford a properly staffed crew with enough allowance to cover a rotation of on call duties and allow for vacations, they should prefer the managed cloud services.

You’re paying more but you’re buying freedom and flexibility.

It's.. an amusing exchange, especially as a response to the actual aknowledgement of the other party - the thing which people there nor have nor want.
