It's pretty sad that people with tech skills only see their next step as moving to management.

I see the only step UP as management. Anything else that keeps me in the trenches, in my mind, is a lateral move.

Is there something wrong with lateral moves, especially if the pay more?

Also, would not an engineering role be a promotion vs now?

I think management is a completely different skill set and I would consider it the start of a new career more than a promotion

I think people in this community has very different employers: we have no management role. I simply do it all: strategy proposals (ok let call them stratigies....), HW picking and sizing, setup, debug, customer care, sweeping.

this has been so in every place I've worked in. do not expect any change in this. rather the contents of the work let me think about a promotion.

Unless you are the CEO or owner of the company, there is always a management role.

What I mean is I manage engineer and deply all in IT. You can say I am COO and CTO for IT here. But actually I am just a dumb guy.

Just made the first seasonal clean up of my garden... And you don't even notice the difference
Than it should be a home made pizza saturday dinner.
Going to post some shots...here

@scottalanmiller said in Where to buy Ubiquiti in Italy:

I have never heard of a business using them, ever

Now you know we have 2 dlinks. I've found them in place and both are bugged. One even loose config (all: ip, vlan, everything!) in case of power failure. The other isn't able to encapsulate printers packets. don't ask me why. I've had to plug a 10€ spare dlink 5port switch to encapsulate a number of printers.

btw, we also have 2 netgear and 1 used hp procurve 3400 cl. for the sake of completeness I was going to by a linksys too... just to have them all

On the opposite everyone in the supply chain who wants to talk about "reliable" stuff offers dell/hpe-aruba now in my area. Cisco is too much expensive, often. And with Cisco if you go SMB you get really bad stuff.

@shuey said in Advice on building "storage servers" with two DL380 G7 servers:

@matteo-nunziati It wasn't an option of 1 or 2. If you look at their product page, they ONLY sell a 2 CPU configuration (at least for the models I reviewed).

Ok! I Never look at xbyte: customs + shipping are too high from america to europe

this should help rebalance medians per country.

IF I've understood, Italy is something like at 63% of richness compared to USA. So it is expected that our salaries are less good than USA ones.

If this datum is correct on the average, my median here should be around 70-80k$ * 0.63, which leads to 44-50 k$.

translating at change rate € vs $, it's 37-47 k€.

nowdays I'm definitively a bit over. This makes sense and fits with my previous figures. Anyway I agree that here big companies generate a shift, as the perception in SMB is that the range is lowered by a 7k€ (give one take one).

In the past I was probably in the left tail of the bell (around 35k€). But I'm cosidering going that back. More fun and curriculum growth than now. And my home bills seem to fit in that lower area.

How to Make Gnome 3 Look and Feel like Unity

http://www.thelinuxrain.com/content/01-articles/152-heres-how-gnome-shell-can-look-like-ubuntu-unity/gnome-unity-5.jpg

from the man page:
/var/spool/anacron
This directory is used by Anacron for storing timestamp files.

let's check those files

Don't but xenserver 7 is centos 7 so it should be python 2.7

@shuey the broadcom chip is enough to me.

ok, I'm 1.75mt/68Kg (5.74 feet/150lbs), not talking for personal experience, but I've a friend which is on diet. He travels a lot for the company, lot of business lunches and the so... he gone quite fat.

now his girlfriend is a biomulecolar chemist, not the most common work in Italy, so she applied to a nutritional science master and has started putting her biomulecoral knowledge in it.

study result: eat 75% FATS, 25% proteins. Avoid any part of carbs.
effects: you loose weight, your blood aligns with correct ranges then...
your metabolism slows down, you loose weight slower and slower up to an almost full stop.
solution: every 3 month have a super all-you-can-eat sesson, metabolism restart running, you continue with the 75-25 diet, your weight goes down.

his breakfast was bacon and eggs! (ok in Italy this is not a breakfast, is an offense to breakfast, but this is just taste !)

my friend has lost something like 15Kg (33lbs) in 3 months in a steadily manner with no sport activity.
Now sport is good for other reasons, but you can loss weight even if you are constrained to eat sht, just avoid carbs rich sht.

JUST A STORY, DO NOT TRY IT AT HOME WITHOUT A BIOMOLECULAR CHEMIST ON YOUR SIDE!

@Tim_G said in Hyper-v and windows updates: how do you deal with that?:

Note: I have all VMs on all hosts set to either Shutdown or save state upon a host reboot, and then set to start up automatically and in a specific order when the host is back up.

Yes this is exaclty what I'm doing now with KVM

to me that was great, a nice way to make a smartphone something more than a facebook client.
from a high level perspective only the final layer of the graphic stack should be dynamically adjusted after evevents.

• hey a bigger monitor has been attached
• notify with evevent
• let the xserver (or anything similar) adjust devices
• let qt/gtk redraw the interface bigger

to me convergence is probably more of a marketing / technology issue rathar then a GUI issue. there should be the tools for GUIS, I don't know if there are the apps the computational power and or the sotrage solutions for this.

it's not about size, it's about presenting a different interface to the end user.

yes. but the gui is just the last layer of the graphical stack. hell you can even code in html nowdays. even my small apps can change aspect with monitor change... and I'm just dumb at this. I've done totally dynamic apps in qt in the past, with properly different presentation layers in them. it was not for hotplug but for same codebase on different devices. still what a single dev can do in a small office is just a neglectable part of what a software house can do.

@scottalanmiller said in What did you have for lunch or dinner today?:

seems good even from Italy

I've powered on a brand new dl380g9 today and I've discovered that some features available in my "old" dl160g9 are now subject to extra licensing.

e.g., with my basic iLO in the dl160 I was able to use remote console even after POST, now I can't on the dl380.
I was able to setup my e-mail address for alerts from iLO, now I need an additional license.

mmm... both systems have the bundled iLO version, which , to be honest, I do not expect to be stripped down in a dl380 wrt a dl160, as the former costs something like 3x the latter.

only difference is in firmware version: the dl380 has a newer one. really thinking about NOT upgrading the dl160 iLO. grrr

maybe I'm missing something or HPE is going more oracle-ish day after day...

I think it is just shuttleworth-how-you-write-this who does not want to fund the company more. They are searching for fund raising in the private market.

ok, I'm so proud of the level of messiness I've generated on my desk and the one in front of me, I think it's time to share.

@scottalanmiller said in did HPE stripped down their basic iLO software?:

@IRJ said in did HPE stripped down their basic iLO software?:

The HP iLO software is full of vulnerabilities. It has to be updated constantly. It is terrible.

And doesn't it STILL require Java on the clients!

FFS

Or .net

anyway I hate to say: I was right

@RojoLoco said in What does your desk look like?:

That's not a mess, it's a perfect level of entropy.

It is so perfect it can't last: monday a new girl arrives and I've to free the other desk... filling up mine more and more!

unless anyone wants aruba switches+AP
(I'm going to keep the Tenda APs for me)
