An IT career demands that you prepare for you next job now. Work in IT doesn't go away, it changes. Automation and AI will drastically change IT work, but I plan to stay on path of providing the solution, not replaced by it.

Stuff like that happens. We had a contractor running a second network provider link to an office of ours. They hit an unknown gas line and the Donatos Pizza next to us exploded (no fatalities). Our build was shutdown because of structural issues, But until they cut the power, we maintained network services. Fire contained…

Bump?

When you see container think of a VM that is designed to run only the application you care about, not the OS and the application. Basically the container's hypervisor supports system calls and provides libraries that applications can include in them to run without the full OS, which means that the app has a less overhead…

I agree, even if there is a reliable way to find a fake video most people won't test it. It will be hard to know what is trustworthy.

I like the ideas in Adafruits IoT bill of rights: https://www.adafruit.com/iotbor/ * Open is better than closed; this ensures portability between Internet of Things devices. * Consumers, not companies, own the data collected by Internet of Things devices. * Internet of Things devices that collect public data must share…

The wisdom of this insight I will carry with me always

That has always worked for me in the past as long as you are up to date with the versions.

You can still wear headphones without music, I leave the mic down so they think I am on a conference call. Not fashionable, but effective. I am doing it right now.

I am not sure that SAM would get this feature, the closest product might be the Netflow module: http://oriondemo.solarwinds.com/Orion/TrafficAnalysis/Summaryview.aspx?program=815&c=70150000000CgeI&AccountID=guest&pas… We also like this type of data for troubleshooting, but don't get it from Solarwinds. Right now Extrahop…

Proving that it wasn't the network was not the issue; the issue was that the scanning program wasn't working properly. This attitude is at the core of healthy IT departments I knew that I had the talent to help this problem get fixed And when you know that you can help, its absolutely the right thing to pitch in.

What about from the manage templates page? Click add to node, select all the servers you need to assign it to.

Hopefully the regular non-MVP's would be able to read the MVP space at least? As a non-MVP and relative new comer I have learned a lot from the MVP's solving problems that I had, but didn't know it yet.

Yup

Not loading the data here either

I am tuned in and they are playing Blade Runner!

Thanks! I think the stream view will be great

I can't go this year, but my teammates who are will stop by and say hi

Yah I did too. It happens

You have to watch out for these guys, I can remember more then one snacking on our lines. We now paid for 2 connections, with different egress paths whenever possible. 

Can't wait to see your session!

I don't see my career suddenly going down a NetSec path, but I do see the jobs I have adopting more and more responsibility for ensuring those priorities are successfully addressed. this is a good read no matter what part of IT your are in.

I was just starting my IT career, and I was told a VIP user couldn't VPN in, and I was asked to help. Everything checked out with the computer, so I asked the user to try it in front of me. He took out his RSA token, knew what to do with it, and it worked. I also knew this user had been complaining of this issue for some…

Our current Data Center needs to be torn down in 2 years to make room for other stuff. Our new Data Center 10 feet away will ideally be ready in a year to start installing new stuff. We are keeping our IP's and streamlining the move as much as possible by stretching the network from the old to the new. While it seems like…

I have always like the idea of rings service, but could never justify the risks for what I need.

Clown as a service has many upsides, I need to look into this

I wish they had mechanical switches with status light. I'd like to know that when I say its off, it is. That said, they work great, and my 3 year old loves his robot DJ. I have bought a few of these:

Thanks @"tony.johnson" , The link is new to me, and I immediately added it to my favorites.
