Guys, this book is sapping my will to live, I need recommendations for a replacement

@not_benis Why are you even getting certified or whatever for hardware it's a waste of time do networks or security or literally anything more specialized.

@not_benis A+ sucks I skipped mine because it was an insult to my intelligence :fedora:

Why yes I do use thermal paper for my receipt machine on a daily basis I definitely will use this in my virtualization job how did you know :brain0:

Do Security+ or Network+ or Linux+ or get MCSA certified

@splitshockvirus @not_benis I have A+ and Linux+ and IMO they were useless to my career. Only certs that ever seemed to help me were Security+ and CCNA. I think RHCSA/RHCE would’ve been a better choice than Linux+ but my current gig doesn’t require any certs so I’m not pursuing any more unless that changes.

@swaggboi @not_benis Red hat would be better than Linux+

I only like CompTIA because they are vendor neutral. But companies aren't vendor neutral.

@splitshockvirus @swaggboi @not_benis i looked at the red hat certificate a while back and it required you to write ansible playbook but like who cares dude

@splitshockvirus @eric @not_benis If you’re thinking enterprise IT selects the best tool for the job, prepare to suffer.

Some moron took our logs from plain text files to tables in a SQL DB because they like ‘big data’ or whatever. I now spend hours week after week telling people how to run SQL queries just to get some customer’s source IP (or just running them for them if they’re too far gone)

I'm pretty sure I've seen worse… 🤔
A-ah, yes! Storing videos in Redis, here it is: digipres.club/@foone/112990604

@eric @not_benis @swaggboi @splitshockvirus
I don't know who that is TBH, but has to be someone famous, considering I've seen the link to that thread on either HNews or Lobsters after I've already seen it on Fedi.

@not_benis @splitshockvirus @eric @m0xee Is that frowned upon vs using an object store like S3? (Would love to avoid S3 if I’m already using a Postgres DB…)

@eric
We can fix this! By storing backups Pemorla' database… in the database 💡
@not_benis @swaggboi @splitshockvirus

@eric @not_benis @splitshockvirus @m0xee Idk if this is a hot take but isn’t storing JSON as a datatype just MongoDB with extra steps…

@swaggboi @not_benis @splitshockvirus @m0xee but MongoDB® is ABSOLUTELY PROPRIETARY so you must avoid it at all costs

@swaggboi
As far as I understand it (and back in my days few would've come up with the idea of storing something as complex right in the DB👴🏿) — there are no extra steps! As PostgreSQL allows working with JSON objects stored in it. So effectively this just shifts some workload to the DB instead of dealing with it in Elixir.

@eric
Can't extract contents of cells AA12-AA18. Broken pipe 🤪

@eric
Microsoft Pleroma® for Workgroups™ should be able to use Microsoft Access!
And have a frontend in Visual Basic 🤯
@not_benis @swaggboi @splitshockvirus

@m0xee @not_benis @swaggboi @splitshockvirus sorry to break it to you but none of your jokes have made me laugh

@eric
By the way, I can still teach you to like my jokes in a fair Q3 CPMA duel, how about that? The gloves are off! Well, about half a glove anyway — considering the machine the server is hosted on 😅
@not_benis @swaggboi @splitshockvirus

@m0xee @not_benis @splitshockvirus @eric At least they saved some money by not sanitizing the gear they were excess’ing 🤨
