  • So the error is because a service is already running on port 80 (http). This could be nginx or apache depending on configuration. Nginx is very useful if you plan to run more than one service in the container. And it’s more trusted security wise than I would trust Lemmy right now tbh. I would maybe configure Lemmy to run on a different port locally, and setup an nginx site to proxy to port 80.

    It’s been a while since I’ve messed with devops stuff though, so I may be misremembering a bit.

    I worked with this guy when I was a sysadmin. There were usually three of us on shift. He refused to do anything and would encourage us to ignore tickets as well. He tried to be the manager once the manager was out for the day cuz we worked a swing shift. I already disliked him, but one day the first shifter came back from vacation in Miami. He asked if the first shifter “saw any of them [slur for gay people]”

    I’m gay myself and immediately went to HR and he was fired on the spot. For the next couple weeks, if I went out for a smoke, the chill as shit security guard would stand outside with me, cuz this guy definitely had anger problems. He was worried he might try to come back and hurt me.


  • I worked in IAM and then IAM software dev for JPMC back in the day, so I worked with the cyber Sec people a lot. I was burned out, those people were fried. I felt so bad every time I had to bother them. Walking up to someone’s cubicle and they would be so startled and you could tell their nerves were just toast.

    I ended up being an application security engineer for a while at a different company and I was the only one. After 6 months I went back to just software dev and got out of security all together honestly. I love the stuff but the lack of resources and funding but with massive expectations is a nightmare.


  • When I was working in that old job we had one particular fiasco that legit stresses me to remember. We have this account, no one knows what it does, but the password has never been rotated, it’s not vaulted, etc. There’s 5 apps that share the DB. I contact all the app owners, no response.

    I wait a week and escalate the their bosses. No response. I send emails every single day to everyone including all the dev teams. Not one “lemme check on that” or anything. Our policy was to wait 90 freaking days for a non single user account. I’m getting yelled at to get this ticket closed when the day comes.

    I go in, lock the account, change the password, and kill all DB sessions. Within 15 minutes I’m paged for a priority one incident because a trading app is down, causing the whole floor to be out and they’re losing millions every minute.

    I tell them what I did and forwarded emails to everyone. The executive director is screaming at me, telling me I’m gonna be fired soon and I better fix it right now.

    Sure, I can unlock the account and even force the password back to the old version. What’s that? No one knows what the old password was? Nothing I can do. Fortunately my executive director was awesome and stepped in to take the call. Overall they were down for an hour and a half. I looked at the incident later and they claimed $100 million in losses. The app owners wanted me fired. They got the uno reverse though and lost their jobs over it.

    Fuck that job lol.
