  • Had a Centos VM that kept slipping time. Every week it would loose about 30min. No amount of NTP syncing got the time correct until manual intervention.
    Msp couldn’t work it out, couldn’t rebuild the server for infrastructure reasons, and only that server had the issue. The other 3 VMs on that host were fine.

    Cron job on one server took it current time, sshed to the dodgy server and configured the correct time.





  • Honestly, it depends on the business.

    If I were the hiring manager we are a 80/20 split on win vs Linux servers. You may be top tier on 20% of our systems but we have automated about 85% of the tasks on those boxes. The other 15% is being covered by the windows people.
    How do I justify hiring you to do 15% of the work of the others?

    In order to be paid above average, you need to be good at something others find hard. But don’t pigeon hole yourself to one thing.

    Being good at windows and Linux will make you a more attractive hire. As a Linux daily driver you should have no excuse to not know virtualisation or containers. Run up some qemu VMS or some LXC containers to expand your skillset.

    If something similar had been caused by an OSS component, we would see congress discussing a ban on open software in critical infrastructure already.

    No we won’t. I refer to HeartBleed, Log4J, and Eternal Blue, and Solar winds. None of those affected applications have been banned and never will. Congress bans are based on political aspects not technical ones.

    Huawei ban is because of the ties to China, kaspersky was banned because of Russian ties.
