Won’t someone please think of the investors…!

I’m just glad they’re still distracted with torrents…

rawdawg some torrents

LOL! Did you spray 1’s and 0’s in their face when you were done?

Good comments.

Do you think there’s still a lot of traditional or legacy thinking in IT departments?

Containers aren’t new, neither is the idea of infrastructure as code, but the ability to redeploy a major application stack or even significant chunks of the enterprise with automation and the restoration of data is newer.

Lol, even in 2024 with free VPN/overlay solutions…they just won’t stop public Internet exposure of control plane things…

Blank check

Funny how that seems to often be the case. They need to see the consequences, not just be warned. An ‘I told you so’ moment…

Agreed.

Dont we all use centralized management because there is cost and risk involved when we don’t.

More management complexity, missed systems, etc.

So we’re balancing risk vs operational costs.

Makes sense to swap out virtual for container solutions or automation solutions for discussion.

Yeah, that’s pretty risky for this point in time.

I guess the MBA people look at total cost of revenue/reputation loss for things like ransomware recovery, restoration of backups vs the cost of making their IT systems resilient?

Personally, I don’t think so (in many cases) or they’d spend more money on planning/resilience.

Seems like your org has taken resilience and response planning seriously. I like it.

contract “options” are indeed normal. You could also lump in government contracts into the category your thinking about. I’ve never heard of a scenario where the vendor broke contract by not honoring the options. I also have never dealt with a vendor getting bought out and then not honoring existing contracts. Super fun to watch the corporate drama. I personally don’t care for the private equity style business that seems to be an even bigger problem than the investor first/profit centric model that I thought was the worst thing.

There’s a lot there, thanks.

That indeed is infuriating. The least you can expect is to be taught by the actual professors…since that’s their entire gig, aside from the research for notoriety side Hussle.

Administration to manage administration.

Ha, right.

This is accurate.

I’d have a hard time trying to even make a case for commissioning.

I have been painstakingly laying the ground work for segmenting network into data center management plane, and future overlay networks for internal applications and dmz / public services.

It would have been easy to burn the place down and start over…

Ever look at emby?

My mid life birthday gift was an electric zero turn mower. Already had all electric yard tools. Will buy Tesla or best option in couple years. Never going to a gas station again!

So indeed, fuck gas

Office culture nuances… I enjoy them.

I worked for a company where the previous IT dorks named the servers after startrek ships. It’s cute at home. Had to rename everything and readdress the whole organization.
