Good morning hidamari
I'm just going to comment on the climate: 3 days ago I was saying right here that Spring has began here, well that day practically it began, and now officially too, but since that post, we only had heavy cloudy days with lots of wind (which really makes things difficult outside there for me, not the cold per se).
Hope you all have a decent Wednesday.
Good morning. Autumn came in full force and we are getting some very windy days and nights, with 8C to 17C between night and day. But I welcome this climate with all my heart, no season beats this one.
Good morning hidamari
Today it's March 17, Tuesday (I wrote Wednesday at first...).
Let the wage and commute begin my dear friends, Shinmyoumaru Sukuna it's already doing her part~
Good morning We're in the middle of the week, Wednesday. Nothing much we can do but try to keep working on our tiny human needs and [tiny?] human problems.
Well, it has finished (I got another interview for another job 2 hours before this one @_@)
Thankfully my brain it's still functional and I was able to remember most if not all things, 60% of the interview was going well, even when we talked about aws IAM, roles, CloudWatch, CloudTrail, S3 buckets, RDS databases, a tiny bit about the transition from iptables to nftables (I was an idiot thinking he would ask literally the syntax of the files via a webcam interview), I was able to expand on some DevOps related things (always because he would ask first), like RESTful APIs (eg json continuous dataflow) vs SOAP (xml), and a bit of Python/Flask/Django and PHP/Laravel.
The whole thing began to crack when I tried to be "smarter" telling I used Kubernetes with NetworkManager using LoadBalancing for the usual deployments, and direct Ingress with IPs with SSL using the Kubernetes integrated ip forwarding that also added TLS to continuous data flow (this was after explaining what were the Secret kind YAML files and how they worked). He told me that was "interesting", but he was interested in my expertise in EKS. I KNEW what it was, but I didn't have any "expertise". Since I became silent he asked "do you have experience with EKS?" "do you know what it is EKS?", then I exploded and answered that, NO, I don't have experience with EKS, but I know how it works, it is aws Elastic Kubernetes Service, it automatically integrates in a Kubernetes or from a Terraform configuration and connects to the LoadBalancer that's expecting an IP from aws. Then it manages all the security itself automatically.
He told me that my intuition or knowledge was right, that I could even learn EKS in some days, but he *needed* someone with EKS experience.
When presented himself at the beginning, he told me he was a SecOps Engineer working for the federal reserve of the US, but he was from Norway.
Also, at the beginning he told me sorry for not having a camera (I didn't care anyways), and at the end, told me it was "rare" to find someone with so much broad knowledge as me, he liked a lot the example I gave him about continue delivery (REST APIs and SOAP), but I was still missing some parts of DevOps, though it was fine what I knew anyways, his problem was (he kept insisted) really needed someone with with EKS expertise.
When I presented myself, I began telling him we used Sun Solaris and FreeBSD mostly on Telmex during the first years, and later we began introducing Linux, and even more later, it was mostly a mix of FreeBSD with RHEL, etc.
It was a nice moment before we both closed the interview, that he asked me something like "do you have something you would like to ask before we go?"
and I told him "YES, I knew I wouldn't knew absolutely everything I was gonna be asked for this job, but I wanted to try to rise up to the challenge, I thank you for your time" and he answered "oh no no, I got the pleasure to talk with a fellow Solaris of the old school and BSD admin, it's all fine, and you did ok, you should keep applying wherever you have the opportunity to learn more if you feel like, next time you may remember this interview and have experience with EKS"
@maki@lina I can relate with some things with you; I haven't got into video games development anymore (I did 8 years ago https://okasion.itch.io/touhoumoot ) because I need something that will help me economically faster. I have been studying (with the help of AI tbh), but training on my own, typing my C or Python or even Laravel code and thinking the logic on my own (mostly, I don't care about YAML AI generated files for example), my github which I also use as "portfolio" (it's a stupid phrasing I know but I have gotten used to use it) it's https://github.com/leokasion
I had about 5 interviews in 2 months, (3 of these were technical); I got rejected by all so far, some told me they decided to go with another candidate, others that "we couldn't find a vacancy that matches your profile and interests at the moment", and most that wanted to stay connected in case they would have a need for a role like me.
I have learned to embrace solitude and be the black swan of my family since the year began, which was when I got unemployed.
Anyway, I keep learning things, so much at such a fast rate, more than ever in my life, and tbh with you, each video or interview becomes easier the more I learn, the nervousness it's not so strong, and sometimes I can already predict what are they gonna ask.
Sorry for shilling my code, I am really lonely.
Well hope you get better maki, if you want to chat sometime tell me.
@tobias@poa.st@EdBoatConnoisseur@poa.st I appreciate the suggestion, but I can't tell the neighbor to do this -also it was my mistake because I didn't want to sleep with earplugs, she (the neighbor) doesn't make much sound compared to the old lady that lives on the upper floor
May all hidamari.apartments have a happy xmas, no matter the case; by yourself in peace, alone, thinking in retrospect and about the future, or browsing the interwebs and playing videogames, or in a bustle with the company of family and/or friends.
Waiting for Aki to finally reach South America so the sun and its blindingly strong rays subside to let her settle down for a few months.
Leaves change to autumn colors—dark green, charcoal, then brown. Many die and fall to the ground, while winter creeps in and Letty does her lazy patrolling.
The trees wait until the next spring for new, young, light green leaves to take their place, when Lily White will already be playing around. And later, the scorching sun will begin its attack again. But that... that is left for Yuuka’s enjoyment.
In Plato's philosophy, the physical world is copies of eternal ideals existing in a higher, non-perfect material realm.
Gensokyo fits this neatly as the ideal realm of fantasy, physically real within its boundaries, metaphysically defined by illusion and forgotten myths.
That's so neat. Alice would be my wife and Marisa my best friend.
It's the last Saturday of 2025 and oh, how I wish I could live underwater! even the scorching Summer Sun would have problems reaching me there!
Let's try to take it very easy so we can receive the next year -be the last year, the worst year, or just another year, with the few immediate problems around, I think we all have enough of that already!
@EdBoatConnoisseur@poa.st@tobias@poa.st absolutely, I use the whitenoise of the Android Sleep app, too
used it for years now, even when I use the earplugs
about the PC... I used to have it on 24 hours, I still kinda do, but I put it on hybrid sleep when I go sleep, I "turn it on" pressing any key from the keyboard so... I still cannot believe that works on Linux, I remember only 10 years ago it was random luck, how far we have come :blobcatbigsob:
@geistigbehindert@detroitriotcity.com@Bernard@friends.ravergram.club@Dagnar@nicecrew.digital since everything it's subjective, and maybe the only event more subjective than religion it's WWII, I will never be sure of anything. Because how things are, I think at least the West didn't benefit from Nazi Germany losing, certainly not Argentina, but because everything it's through subjective memories, words, books, etc. I'm not gonna say either that I'm a nazi dood.
@tobias@poa.st@EdBoatConnoisseur@poa.st you have a point... the walls are not like the one from the US, they are solid walls, but still at 5.15am it can wake you up
