I once installed some kubernetes based software by following the instructions and watching many unicode/ascii-art animations on the commandline. I've also learned that the 8 in k8s stands for 8 letters: 'ubernete'. I've decided that D4s is not for me.

I always do. In a recent project with just me and another developer they added a senior/lead/architect who took over and ordered to rewrite using "enterprise" stuff including ORM. I left. Now they have more developers and code that is about shoveling data back and forth to and between layers, beans, controllers, services, adapters ...

People wearing flashy/status clothes are very cooperative. They are willing to walk around with logo's, advertising brands. While a sandwich man gets paid for such a job, the people wearing flashy/status clothes pay lots of money to do this kind of work.

Jailer is a great tool for navigating your database. You can basically click through tables by following foreign keys. You can just start somewhere on record and it shows you which records relate to the selected one and you can explore the data further. The GUI is really easycto use.

I've used it once for collecting some testdata from a huge database and thiz worked really well.

Microsoft Defender Considered Malware

brookritz — Mon, 09 May 2022 22:53:16 +0000

All Linux machines at work now run "Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection" (mdatp).

We have seen software crashing because files that were expected to be there were suddenly moved to "quarantine" by mdatp. On another occasion a job that moves thousands of small files to another directory took hours instead of seconds to complete. The mdatp daemon was running at 100% CPU and scanning all files for "threats". The "solution" IT Operations implemented was that they added the affected directories to some ignore-list in the mdatp configuration.

Yesterday, a shell script that uses sort just crashed because it was missing /tmp/sortFhe4A. It turned out that MDATP moved the file while the sort process was running. The file contained alphanumeric identifiers. Some combination of bytes in on of sort's tempfiles apparently resembled the signature of some stupid vbscript malware. In all cases it was false alarm. Duh..

Lessons learned: Microsoft Defender renders Linux machines unusable. Instead of protecting against threats this piece of junk is outright malware.
