Can I just skip straight to this part?

Automating prejudice.
RAM is cheaper than my time.
I kinda consider 32GB as a minimum for anyone working on my team.
Yea I miss the hardware fingerprint reader that was on my last one. The under screen reader is much slower and less reliable.
I hear ya.
I get 1-6 meetings in the same time slot, people don’t care to check so I don’t care to show.
I decide which meetings are important for actually moving stuff forward and screw the rest.
There’s only ever one guy who complained to my boss…
I didn’t show up for a meeting for a Friday 7pm, invite sent at like 4:58pm the same day for some inane and absolutely not urgent subject.
I saw that invite come in, chuckled, closed my laptop, went home and ignored it.
Later that night, the guy went nuts and CC’d everyone’s bosses because he had wasted the full hour and obviously no one showed up to his meeting “even though I made sure to check everyone’s calendar and everyone was available and you’re all unprofessional”.
I don’t do emails notifications on phones as a rule unless you wanna pay my rate 24/7, but I had forgotten to do my time sheet so I was logged in doing that…
I dabble in a bit of passive aggressiveness in the face of corporate bullshit, so I finished my timesheet and hit propose new time… Sunday 3:21 am…
“Checked your calendar and it was available. Sorry for the inconvenience.”
Closed my laptop and fucked off.
The guy went nuclear over several emails.
Sent a quick email to my boss “Just a heads-up, I think I angered someone by not attending their 7pm meeting they sent at 4:58pm and proposing an equally ridiculous time”
Never heard from the guy again and the next week he wasn’t in the company AD anymore.
Probably went full tilt cookie monster in the coke jar or something.
Pfff, there’s barely any double-booking in that calendar.

I sacrifice myself to the useless meeting altar so that others can focus on actual work in peace.
The problem is there’s likely not a universal solution that’s guaranteed to clean everything in every case.
Cleaning specific logs/configs is much easier when you know what you’re dealing with.
Something like anonymizing a Cisco router config is easy enough because it folllows a known format that you can parse and clean.
Building a tool to anonymize some random logs from a specific software is one thing, anonymizing all logs from any software is unlikely.
Either way, it should always be double-checked and tailored to what’s being logged.
It depends a lot on what the application is logging to begin with.
If a project prints passwords in logs, consider to just GTFO as it’s terrible security practice.
There might also be sensitive info that’s not coming from a static thing like your username, but from variable data such as IP addresses, gps coordinates, or whatever thing gets logged.
Meaning a simple find&replace might be insufficient.
When possible, I tend to replace the info I remove with a short name of what I replaced out as it’s easier to understand context when it’s not all **********
or truncated.
example:
proxy_container_1 | <redacted_client1_ip> - - [17/Aug/2024:12:39:06 +0000] "GET /u/<redacted_local_user2> HTTP/1.1" 200 963 "-" "Lemmy/0.19.4; +<redacted_remote_instance3_fqdn>"
keeping the same placeholders for subsequent substitutions helps because if everything is the same, then you don’t know what’s what anymore.
(this single line would be easy enough either way, but if you have a bunch and can’t tell client1 from client50 apart anymore that can hinder troubleshooting.
regular expressions are useful in doing that, but something that works on a specific set of logs might miss sensitive info in another.
I’m sure people have made tools to help with that, possibly with regex patterns for common stuff, but even with that, you’d need to doublecheck the output to be 100% sure.
It helps a lot when whatever app doesn’t log too much sensitive info to begin with, but that’s usually out of your hands as a user.
Yea Java would be Oracle, they’re usually actively fucking things up.
Sure, TAC is basically Cisco’s tech support (Technical Assistance Service).
When you buy several $100k switches that also require a yearly license, you kinda expect to be able to talk to someone who knows their shit when things start fucking up.
I mean, bugs exist pretty much everywhere, that’s fine and honestly expected. Just when shit breaks, I don’t need a dumb AI chat bot to give me the runaround, I need an engineer to understand the setup, go through packet captures, logs, dumps, whatever.
I’m sure there are still plenty of brilliant intelligent people over there, but they’ll be even more understaffed and overworked than they already were before.
TAC has been going downhill for a while, this is an insane move that will only hurt them in the long run, but I guess execs can celebrate the short term savings on payroll.

Haven’t had to use port forwarding for gaming in like 30 or so years, so I just looked up Nintendo’s website…
Within the port range, enter the starting port and the ending port to forward. For the Nintendo Switch console, this is port 1024 through 65535
LMAO, no thanks, that’s not happening.
For your question, you could likely route everything through a tunnel and manage the port forwarding on the other end of the tunnel.
Hmmm… There are as many ounces in a cup as there are bits in a byte.
Maybe the first byte fit in a cup.
Haven’t used LVM in a while, so I can’t offer much insight there other than consider taking a backup of anything important.
Ultimately, do whatever you think you’ll be able to keep up with.
The best documentation system is useless if you keep putting it off because it’s too much work.
It can be in git even if you’re not doing ‘config as code’ or ‘infrastructure as code’ yet/ever.
Even just a text file with notes in markdown is better than nothing. Can usually be rendered, tracked, versionned.
You can also add some relevant files as needed too.
Like, even if your stuff isn’t fully automated CI/CD magic, a copy of that one important file you just modified can be added as necessary.
Ok, but what you’re mentioning is actually a Linux community on a lemmy instance. That’s like a fediverse version of a linux subreddit.
It might show up weird on mastodon, idk.
The bot you speak of does not exist (or you didn’t mention their username), https://lemmy.ml/c/linux is just a collection of different people posting different threads about linux related stuff.
What bot?
Your only mention is a community, where there are multiple people posting and commenting about different Linux related subjects.
It’s more akin to a mastodon hashtag than to a user, which makes your clamoring for ban a bit weird.
Client devices can also do this all the time even when not in range, which basically broadcasts they’re looking for that network everywhere they go. That’s just asking for someone to setup a rogue access point.
