  • Yes, we’ve had outages in DCs. They are usually just a blip, because we have more than one.

    And we don’t pay broadcom anything. We migrated off of esx a long time ago.

    And the skills needed? We use a floss stack, so you need to know stuff like nginx, puppet, mariadb, and php.

    Not exactly cutting edge stuff there.

    Operations engineers make sure the infrastructure is up, and ready for code. Devs own the code.

    So, no, it’s really not all that niche.

    And I guess we need longer than 20 years to see if it works well?


  • Was it written on the phone of the people they called?

    No, but if they weren’t informed, frankly, that’s on the SM for not doing so. And honestly, anyone taking a call from a deployed soldier should just understand that reality.

    The claim was that with calls from foreign countries, if it was an American they spoke to, it would not be monitored. Only foreigners were.

    I’m not going to speak to generalities of whose calls were monitored and shouldn’t have been. Solely the item of “Americans stationed in Iraq were monitored”, which is, frankly, obviously happening. And every SM was informed as such. And they were instructed to inform their families of that fact.

    Every military spouse knew that, if they went to the pre-deployment briefings they were invited to. Every SM knew it. Every contractor knew it, and their families should have also been informed by the contractor.

    Hell, even in my state, only one party legally has to know it’s being monitored and/or recorded to be legal.
