@coliver Nope, not for over a year. Also havent logged in since last year either though.
Agreements expire, but I've never lost access. I've not seen new until I add them sometimes though.
@bbigford said in Install Nginx as a Reverse Proxy on Fedora 27:
"Install nano because I prefer it over vi"
Nano really should just be the standard at this point, IMO.
I worded it like that to appease people like @scottalanmiller to prevent some stupid commentary about unneeded packages
Somehow today has become a day of Yealink patching.
Just heard the six year old tell her cousin "this is the point where we part ways".

Dollars to donuts, the guy was using the term "blade" to mean the opposite of a blade, a rack server. Blade, rack and tower are the three physical form factors of servers. But for some reason, even though they are names for competing factors, there was a period of time when everyone wanted to sound cool and thought that blade sounded better than "normal every day server" so they started calling their standard rack servers blades. Much how people later used cloud for everything, even when it was anything but cloud.
There is no logical reason any small bank would run blades, even the Wall St. firms don't ahve enough servers to normal justify them. He's almost certainly unsure what is a blade and what is an iSeries and so forth. I could be wrong, but it's very likely given the statement - even if not relayed word for word. Since the only logical alternative he'd be seeing would be AMD64 based rack servers - it would be extremely odd if he was seeing blade servers in any bank, especially as an alternative to i Series.
hmm.. yeah I think you might be right about that. When he said "blade", I did secretly wonder if he actually just meant like a regular rack server... that's probably what he meant. It didn't seem like they really knew a lot about IT even though they were the designated federal examiners for IT.
I think "even though" is the problem there. It would be mind blowing if a federal examiner had the first clue about IT. Government jobs don't tend towards the technical. And auditor / examiner jobs are the least technical of those. Not that someone in that role couldn't be smart and take an interest in IT, but if they were smart or interested in IT you'd expect them to have a fulfilling, rewarding career in IT rather than doing a boring auditing job.
There's nothing unexpected there. As a job role, you'd expect no IT skills or experience in that position. They get a checklist and they check it off without knowing what the checkboxes mean.
I don't see IE going anywhere. We have all the same need for IE in the future that we have n the past. Sure now it is DevOps rather than Snowflake, we are using more tooling, but things are also more complex and bigger.
