Oncall is complete bullshit and the fact that we have standardised this without Additional pay has greatly affected my life working in big tech.

I wouldn't say it's without pay. It's in the job description when you're hired and the pay should compensate for that. SREs are typically paid very well.

Oncall being in the job description just doesn’t rationalize the abuse and insanity Ive seen myself and my team go through.

I don’t think a bullet in a job description and expected baseline pay for a tech job is reasonable enough to accept that either.

On call rotations are part of basically every engineering team that owns any production service at tech companies, not just SRE

I interned there one summer and I felt like 9 years ago when I was there the company died 30 years prior. It’s a super weird place to work

This survey is from a resume site of 1000 people roughly. A resume site is obviously going to target a majority of people in the job hunt. Additionally it was done in May around graduation time.

They are also probably collecting DNS records from millions of customers too or inspecting SNI on TLS handshakes to know what sites each customer is visiting.

ECH and DOH people!

None of that requires messing with the connection though. You can't draw just passively observe and get the same info.

They most certainly are. Large ISPs use Nokia Deepfield or Kentik for network monitoring, observability and user metrics. Both work due to volumes of metadata from net flows and DNS.

My gut tells me the broken intercept is a Nokia product.

This is correct, it's even open source: https://github.com/deepfield/dnsflow.

Not sure what TFA means with this, reads like ECH doesn't help

Coincidentally, this article's webpage breaks copy & paste in its tables for presumed reasons of being "cutesy" with table click behavior. Can people please stop doing idiotic shit like this?

Not worth. Competitors like Bunny CDN which is much smaller will inevitably have a much worse incident as they grow. Every large company will inevitably have a couple bad incidents so asking “what other large company will never have incidents” is a moronic perspective IMO

Orbstack has not yet been enshittified yet

Honestly what does enshittified this mean in this case?

I can only assume it means “paid” because nobody I know pays for Orbstack or any of these docker tools.

+1 for Go after a sabbatical. Its a treat

I’m into cardio related fitness things, but hoping to avoid associating drinking with friendship too much.

When I’ve gotten deep into a topic I’ve actually almost ALWAYS learned that textbooks are the best way to learn things.

The internet is full of information. Sometimes it’s too much, unstructured or tangential to the goal at hand. Textbooks, in my experience, are truly written by the experts. It’s been vetted, rigorously reviewed and fact checked. It’s not inspired by influencers or clickbait.

Obviously YMMV, but when you find a top recommended textbook, it’s usually miles beyond a YouTube video or medium blog for deeper level content. It usually flows better and makes more sense as you study consistently.

Can you give an example? I think my current problem is that I can’t formulate a goal that I deep down find motivating enough to attain. Maybe that’s depression, but I’m not sure.

I get that it’s pretty subjective, but I am just curious how people think.

My ‘unrealistic’ motivation is this dream of designing my own chip based on the POWER ISA to use as a dedicated workstation. The idea is so exciting because of how much technical expertise is required—it’s not like anyone has a semiconductor fabrication facility in their garage… oh, wait.
