Nope, no idea what it’s like today.

Back in the day (mid/late 90’s), there were private ftp servers that required a ratio. Some of these were run by release groups and hard to get on, some were more public. Couriers would download from one site and upload to another to build their ratio and get access to the good sites.

Before people figured out you could connect two ftp servers together directly, you would have to download to your computer and reupload. Most people were on dialup, so that was a non trivial time commitment.

Yeah you’re totally right, I forgot about that.

There was flashfxp too but I think that was a fair bit later. Revolutionized being a warez courier.

FileZilla isn’t even that old school, cuteftp was the OG one afaik.

1. Alt tabbed once too many times, clicked drop database and yes. Deleted the live authentication DB for America’s Army: Operation video game.

2. Missed the word “add” in “switchport vlan add” on a switch, overwriting the list instead of appending to it. Took out the only connection between two datacenters we were in the process of migrating between. Took me 14 minutes to run to the datacenter, plug in a console cable and fix it.

You might find our census interesting. Hopefully it’s more representative of general lemmy than hexbear.

Not sure, I’ve been out of that space for a long time.

The industry is pretty bad right now everywhere, it’ll pick back up… eventually.

Find a decent MSP and grind there for a few years. It’ll suck but you’ll touch a ton of different environments in a short time, and get exposed to all sorts of broken things.

A few tools that I’ve seen come up which look interesting:

• https://wellfound.com/
• https://swooped.co/
• https://app.otta.com/

I’d recommend running your resume through ats tools.

With the hw MCE errors, it’s probably toast.

You could try reseating or swapping the ram around, if it’s socketed

100% yes if it’s failing. Buy an ssd and revel in the new speed, don’t do another spinning disk.

Interesting, thanks for the link!

Well that’s technically correct, but if you’re so dependent on disk cache for system performance that you can’t live without it then you really need to look at doing an upgrade.

When a box swap deaths, it usually struggles to actually fill swap enough to have the kernel still OOM kill it at any point. Generally the massive performance impact of swapping just slows the app down to the point of being useless, along with the entire rest of the box. Disk cache should not be a concern during these abnormal events.

Just turn off swap? You don’t really need it, and the kernel wiil just oom kill without it.

Cause it terrifies their dog.

You can install as many OSes as you want.

Yeah you would need to use a ; instead of &&
