I am a massive single point of failure for my org.

Anything bad or unexpected happens to the website that I migrated on prem for us and I am basically the only one who has any idea where to even begin.

And that just constitutes one grafana dashboard I built, of many, that are used by basically every team now. I also stood up the grafana server.

There was an RTO. My boss was literally like “this doesn’t apply to you.”

I just found my todo list and half of it is irrelevant and half of it is done.

I even had a work todo list for my old job lol.

Yipes!

Stripes!

Jfc early 90s children’s ads are worse than cocomelon. Probably says a lot that the entire commercial replayed in my head as soon as you mentioned the gum.

My girlfriend will not appreciate this.

I am not a smart man but I am smart enough.

There are even circumstances you can claim unemployment after you quit.

Not many circumstances. But they exist.

And a paid vacation if you claim the unemployment. Not your regular rate but better than nothing.

Yep.

It’s like they wanna get bought to compete with GitHub or something.

They’re moving fast and breaking things. And bloating their product in the process. In the last 24 months they paid over $1M to a single bug bounty hunter who basically took them to the cleaners.

But totally agree. It’s the best UX, best product for home lab or even small enterprise use if you’ve got someone to get it tuned appropriately.

While I agree, out of the box the configs ARE NOT for home lab use.

Why this matters –

I’m gonna start a company that creates cheap life saving products called “Chris”

Yeah wtf? Is this just frosting?

I think it’s just smart business, too.

Several companies deserve a larger market share in the cell phone game, and it seems the levers to pull which get us there are OS and hardware based.

Tons of users and enterprise users just begging for better solutions.

I know a guy who was holding onto basically every variation of [state][marijuana reference].[tld] back in like 2015. Guarantee he made bank on that investment.

Traefik’s configs are a little less cumbersome if you’re managing a lot of services.

It looks like he wears mostly black and white hats now lol.

His IMDb pic is a white hat. Pretty sure you have agency over what pic IMDb uses.

😺

I have a .com for like $19.99 but pay to have my info redacted from whois stuff, an email address, all cones to like $42.99

I have a bullshit domain with some nonsense tld and domain name that I pay $0.99/yr for that’s on a vps I pay like $150/yr for all told (it’s doing stuff).

All told I keep it below $20/month.

I highly recommend it to anyone getting into self hosting, sysadmin stuff, cybersecurity, devops, etc.

It’s headaches, but once it’s working, you will have ridiculously valuable experience for any org.

I might be misunderstanding this concept but it seems like extra work, or a recipe for an insecure mess that could become difficult to maintain.

I run elk stack and log basically everything which has created a centralized point for observability. This lets me granularly investigate and thereby control the state of all of my networks services.

It’s a little ram hungry, but I’ve got some overhead.

It took me a while to realize those were computer monitors.

Clean your fucking screens, that shit is disgusting 🤢
