Its a quirk in binary math with 8 digits. If you “roll the odometer” past 0, it resets to 255
0000 0011 (3) -0000 0001 (1) =0000 0010 (2) 0000 0000 (0) -0000 0001 (1) =1111 1111 (255)
John Oliver does a great segment on the TV show ‘Law and Order’ and this exact phenomenon. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DNy6F7ZwX8I
Hey my knighthood came with a certificate and everything! It’s easily given me $100 worth of joy, anything that’s not survival is bullshit. Lean into stupid if you can afford it and it makes you happy.
An interview is an opportunity for both of you to decide if it’s a good fit. Unfortunately the seeker is usually happy to accept anything. Lying is counter productive. They only want to hear any reason that you picked their workplace. Consider it structured small talk and focus on your energy.
I generally say: "let’s be realistic, I’m not passionate about what your company does. I am here to trade my time for wages and I have heard good ones about [company name].
Elaborate by mentioning something from their website to appear engaged and interested. Say you were a perfect fit because you meet all the requirements, talk about a friend who works there, mention using their products or services, or just mention that it’s close to your house and will be a short commute. Ultimately this is a soft question that is just to get a quick idea of each person applying.

I personally don’t like the idea of migrating off Jenkins, we blew our yearly budget testing our build platform in git. But it’s all just platformed ci/CD, which is why I’m recommending the other path. Platform teams lost the goal recently.
US Sr SRE (devops) checking in: I would personally recommend the networking path. Caveat: A good engineer will know the background of both (curl, telnet, Iam, security groups, cidrs, domains)
Devops was mostly automating the stuff in between the other teams; and most of that is working out of the box these days. Most repos already have their Jenkins and docker files. How much admin are you expecting on serverless? Most people are pivoting to app support (ticket queues) or supporting managed services (on call).
As far as my day to day:
- Troubleshooting incidents and walk ups
- Answering pages (read restarting things)
- Groovy Jenkins build pipelines
- Cdk applications
- Ruby configuration management
- Parameter/secret management
- Reading error messages for devs
- Yaml/xml linting
- Assisting in load testing
- Changing settings to make the application more stable. Ex: db connections, memory
- Cloud UI/clis
Pros: I do a lot of different things, we get downtime because we need to respond to things immediately, I don’t have normal project/sprint planning. I have the keys to the kingdom. Higher pay than most other devs. I hack things together, I don’t need to design workflows.
Cons: I am on call, I am the silliest clown (I get hardest problems), I need to understand a lot of moving pieces, sometimes when things break, there is a lot of pressure on you to find something hard. I regular have to Google “bash variable syntax” because I’m coding in 15 languages. Interviewing for jobs is impossible because no 2 positions are the same
Seeker, you learned your people’s language and then learned the way of the world.
I set this up for seamless commits:
function gao() { git add . git commit -a -m "$*" git push origin `git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD` }Usage: gao fixing a typo
Go to Ali Express, and filter through the “mp3” results. They will cost less than $10, be made of the cheapest material possible but meet your requirements. Otherwise you are thrift store shopping
Irrational soft magic system - anything can happen for any reason, so the story doesn’t matter at all.
I would recommend a food journal, odds are that you have a mild allergy to something like mustard or sesame with a 24 hour delay.
I’ve done 2 of the technix cars 1000-2000 pieces. They are fun but expensive. They take up a lot of space when you are done. The Ferrari had a lot of loose pieces for the price. As others have mentioned, look into led kits before you build it.
Grab a 4 free AOL disk from blockbuster, use 3 of them as frisbees. Take the last one home and spend 10 minutes waiting the interface to install. Plug in the phone line and hear a series of beeps and schreeches before being greeted by an early robotic voice saying “welcome!” And often “you’ve got mail”.
Afterwards you follow a guide to sign up for a mail account and a text like document with links to AOL platform tooling like chat rooms and search tools. You started looking for urls everywhere wondering what hidden gems you’ll find in the virtual world and what kind of content was on cereal websites or Nickelodeon. There was a massive learning curve for multimedia, but you had a lot of pen pals from chatrooms. So much porn spam. Nabisco had an awesome gaming site
How about 4 slight lefts?
2·7 months agoOn a very specific note, I don’t run my Plex server in a container. I have a docker compose setup with 20+ apps, but Plex is on the bare metal OS because it’s kinda finicky and doesn’t like nas. You also need to setup the Plex API to claim the server as the container name changes. This is my stock Plex config if it helps
plex: image: lscr.io/linuxserver/plex:latest container_name: plex network_mode: host environment: - PUID=1000 - PGID=1000 - TZ=Etc/GMT - VERSION=docker - PLEX_CLAIM= #optional volumes: - /home/null/docker/plex/:/config - /x:/x - /y:/y - /z:/z restart: unless-stopped
It comes in a legal binder and has my name on it 😁. I’m also supposed to come to the defense of the oil rig if it’s in turmoil; otherwise its just for fun.
