AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

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

@not_benis

@splitshockvirus now's not the time for networks, that comes later :bane:

@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.

@splitshockvirus it's the A+

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

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

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

@eric @not_benis @swaggboi A lot of places use ansible

@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)

@swaggboi @not_benis @splitshockvirus @eric
I'm pretty sure I've seen worse… 🤔
A-ah, yes! Storing videos in Redis, here it is: https://digipres.club/@foone/112990604082086959

@m0xee @swaggboi @splitshockvirus @eric postgres can store objects up to 4GiB as values, so...

@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…)

@swaggboi @splitshockvirus @eric @m0xee I'm studying to get an A+, how the fuck am I supposed to know

@not_benis @splitshockvirus @eric @m0xee LOL you got me all excited there
