I just landed a new job that I'm pretty excited about. My current position moved slowly back from development into straight up IT, so I'm glad to be a software developer again.
My new company has good benefits and I know some people that work there and it sounds like they treat their employees really well.
If I didn't get this job, I might have given up on developer. There's so much work involved in dev hiring processes.
Does anyone have an updated comparison to share?
Does anyone else think a Gordon Ramsay esque TV show called IT Nightmares would be a great idea?

The way I would see it is as mostly directed at business owners and getting them to understand the role of IT in their business.

The title on the job site isn't really accurate. The website restricts what titles we can post, requirements, etc. We are not just looking for network admins. We have a couple different positions we need to fill. One of which will require VMWare experience.
International applicants accepted, with option to work remotely.
I am not a part of the hiring process, but I can try to answer questions. Might have to be through direct message though.

The current job posting is kind of lame, but we probably will have something better out in the future. We are actually hiring multiple positions, with different specialities. I can't say too much right now, but we have some exciting stuff on the horizon, and there is opportunity to get into some cool 'DevOps' style stuff.
I know I'm far from one of the top contributors to ML, but if there's something you feel comfortable with endorsing me on, please send me a message and I'll send you my LinkedIn url.

Pluralsight has a free weekend promotion going on right now.
https://pluralsight.pxf.io/c/1197078/668288/7490
I'm a big fan of their courses, I find their videos to be high qualify and a great way to get an intro to something new.
However if you sign up for a free Visual Studio Dev Essentials account, I believe there is still a promo for 3 months of free Pluralsight.
I've seen some doubts around about how useful Salt would be for desktop administration, so I thought I would share my Salt grain that makes things easier for me. It gives you a list of users that have profiles on that minion. So the end result is that you can do this in your states:
{% for usr in grains['present_users'] %}
C:\Users\{{ usr }}\AppData\Local\Something:
file.directory:
- makedirs: True
{% endfor %}
This has only been tested on Salt 2017.7.1, and it will definitely break with the next major release because they are changing some things that it relies on.
To use this custom grain, create a _grains folder within your salt states folder/repo, then save this as a file there:
import socket
import salt.utils
if salt.utils.is_windows():
import salt.utils.winapi
import wmi
def presentusers():
if salt.utils.is_windows():
with salt.utils.winapi.Com():
wmi_c = wmi.WMI()
userprofiles = [x.LocalPath.split('\\')
for x in wmi_c.Win32_UserProfile()]
sysprof = ['systemprofile', 'ServiceProfiles']
userlist = [x[-1] for x in userprofiles
if not any(word in x for word in sysprof)]
return {'present_users': userlist}
return {'present_users': 'n/a'}
Then run salt '*' saltutil.sync_grains to sync the custom grain to your minions. Now run salt '*' grains.items to see your new grain

I was looking at multiOTP, which looks like it would be a good free way of implementing 2-step authentication for RDP
https://github.com/multiOTP/multiotp/wiki
http://servilon.com/two-factor-authentication/
But I would imagine that in SMB, people would find it annoying to have to get a code every time.
And then I found this post that makes me think you could use the 2-step authentication in order to whitelist IPs
Maybe I'll try to lab it sometime

Have I managed to mislead myself in believing that the two - while different - are in a basic manner, the same
Basically, yes. In essence, the kernel provides basic compatibility and underlying behaviour (task switching, memory resource management) allowing you to gauge performance, security and application compatibility (that is for binaries.)
But NOTHING that people think of as a system is its kernel. If you put the GNU utils on top of Windows, literally no one can tell. Is it Linux? Nope, it's Windows!
Test this with the Ubuntu for Windows in the Windows 11 Store. It'll install Ubuntu for you to run on your Windows workstation. It will look and feel exactly like Ubuntu you are used to. It IS Ubuntu. What it is not, is Linux, at all. It's 100% Windows, just with the Ubuntu user interface on top, rather than the Windows Desktop interface.
There's no Linux, whatsoever. The Linux Subsystem for Windows is an API compatibility layer NOT an implementation of Linux.
You're thinking of WSL 1. If you follow your instructions that should be WSL 2, which does use the Linux kernel
Well it looks like EKS and GKE support Windows nodes, so you could deploy it as a container there, but then you're paying for a whole cluster. Or they could rewrite enough to upgrade to the latest .Net and not have to run on Windows.

But not plagiarism
Right, it's never plagiarism unless you for example tell chatgpt to output copyrighted content, like tell me the exact content of xyz, such as an existing book.... If it can do that or close to that. Then use that content in the same as if you copy word for word from the book. In that case you are.
Right, exactly.
I asked ChatGPT about it directly, and it said this:
As an AI language model, I am a form of technology that generates text based on the input I receive from users. While I am not a human being, the text I generate is still considered someone else's work.
In the case of using my output as your own, it would be considered plagiarism if you do not properly attribute the text you generated through me. This is because the text I generate is based on a combination of machine learning algorithms and vast amounts of pre-existing text data that has been created by humans. Therefore, failing to properly cite the sources of the text you generate through me would be equivalent to not citing the sources of any other work created by human authors.
In summary, failing to attribute the text generated through an AI language model like myself can be considered plagiarism, even though the output comes from a machine rather than a person.
ME:
You said "can" be considered plagiarism. In what cases is it not considered plagiarism?
ChatGPT:
It's important to note that the issue of whether or not using text generated through an AI language model is considered plagiarism can be a complex one, and there is no clear-cut answer that applies to all situations. In general, however, it is not considered plagiarism to use text generated through an AI language model if:
You use the text only as a starting point or source of inspiration, and you substantially reword or rewrite the text in your own words.
You use the text as a secondary source, and you properly cite both the AI language model as the source of the text and any other sources that you drew upon to create your own work.
The text generated by the AI language model is in the public domain or has been released under a Creative Commons license that allows for reuse and modification.
In any case, it is always important to use your best judgment and consult with a teacher, professor, or other authority on academic integrity if you have any doubts about whether or not your use of text generated through an AI language model could be considered plagiarism.
ME:
Outside of academics is the same true?
ChatGPT :
Yes, the same principles of attribution and integrity apply outside of academics as well. While the consequences of plagiarism may not be as severe as in an academic or commercial context, it is still considered unethical and can damage your reputation and credibility in a given field.
If you are using text generated through an AI language model for non-academic purposes, it is still important to properly attribute the source of the text and obtain permission if necessary. Additionally, if you are using the text to create a product or service that you plan to sell, you should be particularly careful to ensure that you are not infringing on any copyrights or other intellectual property rights.
In summary, whether you are using text generated through an AI language model for academic or non-academic purposes, it is important to adhere to principles of attribution and integrity, and to always consult with appropriate authorities or legal experts if you have any doubts or questions.
Me:
Is it considered plagiarism outside of academics and commercial use?
ChatGPT :
Yes, using someone else's work or ideas without proper attribution or permission is still considered plagiarism even outside of academic or commercial use. Plagiarism is a violation of intellectual property rights and can be a legal issue in some cases.
For example, if you were to copy someone else's creative work, such as a piece of writing, artwork, or music, and present it as your own without permission or attribution, it would be considered plagiarism and could result in legal action being taken against you.
In general, it is important to always give credit to the original source of any work or ideas you use, whether in an academic or non-academic setting. This not only helps you avoid plagiarism but also shows respect for the work of others and can help build a stronger culture of collaboration and creativity.
--
That all said, I did confirm that although plagiarism is not a criminal or civil offense, plagiarism is illegal if it infringes an author's intellectual property rights, including copyright or trademark.
Next ask it why it doesn't give attributions for the preexisting test it uses.
System Engineer - Project Manager. You're try to appeal to multiple disciplines here. I'd create a different resume if you were applying to a Project Management job and focus on making this one look the part for engineering.
Bullet points are your friend
@CCWTech yes, it's your resume. And anytime I've seen a tech resume that someone said they paid a professional to help write, it hasn't been good.
Free help from other tech professionals is usually the way to go. Here is one community that can help https://discord.gg/CB8DMrr
@dbeato said in What to use for new Windows network domain:
@flaxking Well the point was that Jared was making of a local network domain which Azure Active Directory wouldn't have counted but I understand.
I wasn't talking about AAD, I was talking about AAD DS.
@dbeato yes, Azure Active Directory Domain Services. That documentarion changed from aadds.contoso.com to aaddscontoso.com. But since they don't give the reason for the change, it is unclear if the reason applies to both aadds and ad.
The only reason I know of is so that AD isn't displayed as the domain name in places.
Well Microsoft's AAD DS recommendation has changed from aadds.contoso.com to aaddscontoso.com but I don't think they have really said why

At it's core Slack is a chat app. Think Teams without video calls or SharePoint integration.
Slack has had video/audio calls for a while now.
Interesting, I've only noticed the "Huddle" option, and have never used it.
At it's core Slack is a chat app. Think Teams without video calls or SharePoint integration.
It's also kind of treated like a shared mailbox. I.e. a channel will get sent alerts, and that's how people get notified and can talk about it right at the alert.
"ChatOps" is kind of the next step here where with integrations and bots, you can trigger actions from right within Slack. A benefit of this is that the log of the action and the conversation surrounding it is all logged in the same place. Someone looking back at what was done could see the whole history of events (alert raised, talk that something should be done about it, and the action being done triggered and recorded right there)
I have never heard of Slack being the only interface for something except for internal tools. It makes the most sense to use it for integrations when you're already having conversations there, but maybe the benefits of having the action log and the ability for different people using the integration to leave notes in the chat could mean it could be worth it to use if there are not other tools that does the same thing.
