BDSM for the environment

Not defending them, but it is normal to store batteries at 40% charge to maximise longevity. That said, no reason they couldn't charge them before delivery.

Yeah, look at Serbia. And they are only partway through as well.

I worked as a DBA for a while, I got into it by getting into a niche database system (Apache Cassandra) at a startup for a PoC and then the local megacorp was desperately needing someone with that experience.

The day-to-day was mostly these things:

• Organizing and educating outsourced teams in India for routine maintenance tasks, mostly by writing "do this then this" style docs for them
• Act as L3 support when stuff broke - this one was rare, I was once paid a day of overtime because someone messed up a migration, took the whole global system offline, and I had to sit there see stuff come back again when they fixed it
• Write automation for automated deployment into Microsoft Azure, imagine writing Ansible code and Terraform
• Make architecture diagrams and plans and help debug developers' harebrained attempts at using the database for things that it was not made for, but they wanted it on their CV

It was a very slow job, with nothing to do all December - since there was a code freeze - for example. That said, it's essential to understand Linux on a deeper level to be a DBA, like one interview question was "you have a 2TB disk with 400 gigs of data on it, yet the OS is complaining that the disk is full, what is the likely issue and how do you debug it".

Can you, in a few words, sum up what you don't agree with in the comment you're replying to?

So say I'm lonely because I have few friends I can barely afford to meet.

How can feminists help me?

I guess the same way we're still in the COVID crack
