I don’t even ask for that anymore because it rarely leads to good ends. What I do now is send an email summarizing the dumb bullshit that they want me to do, describe the detrimental effects that it will have in excruciating detail, ask if there are any corrections and if my understanding is correct, and say that if I don’t get a reply from them by X time, I’ll do $DumbBullshitThing at Y time/date. It gets CC’ed at least one level higher than them in the food chain and also to my personal email address for CYA.

It puts the onus on them, creates a paper trail, and also places the blame on them when shit blows up because they asked me to do $DumbBullshitThing when the consequences were clearly laid out.

It’s so rare for me to have to use the modulo operator I’m actually excited when I come across a situation where I can.

That’s exactly why we need to give them the boot.

Hard disagree. If you’re running something business-critical, the support that you get with a RHEL license {or any other vendor, for that matter) is worth its weight in gold.

If you can’t fix something, you don’t want to be looking for solutions by sifting through forum posts directed at home users when the business is losing thousands of dollars per hour. That’s what the license is for, and that’s what you pay for.

This comment made me physically recoil in disgust. Great job.

That sounds like emacs-user talk. We don’t take kindly to you folks around these parts…

Ok, let me know if you want help.

Ok, well, let me know if you want some help with it in the future, because I’ve done it an uncountable number of times.

What exactly are you having trouble with? I’ve automated all of our LetsEncrypt renewal stuff at work, including certs for wildcard domains, and it’s using the DNS plugin.

I was not prepared to look into a mirror when I opened this post…

Why can’t it be both?

The existence of Javascript and Groovy is strong evidence that God has abandoned his creation.
