#database admin

[engineer-voice]

the Database Administrator, or DB Admin roles, is of paramount importance. These unsung heroes of the digital realm are responsible for managing, securing, and optimizing the databases that store and retrieve critical information for organizations.

I hate how it feels to be off hormones for an extended period of time. Shit got too expensive for too long so I had to put a pause. Thankfully I've gotten quite a few permanent changes but...... man,.....

It's just. A whole shift. I don't feel like myself, I feel ugly and unfuckable, when nothing has really changed? Idk. There's just a specific type of Shitty Feeling when my T levels are low and it's almost impossible to explain.

Announcement!!

💻 kind of thinking what to do with this blog, I’ve seen some of my other mutuals do a spin on theirs and I’m over here debating on what to do honestly.

On one hand I could wait until July and see if we get more Nero content because the nerd needs a lot more screen time. Tara too, she has a little more time than Nero in total. For him it’s just an introduction in the early chapters of the story and you can honestly do so much until you can’t anymore.

What is more messed up is that the developers and writers of the game will find a way to write him off. They’ll make it seem like he wasn’t an important part of the story which is stupid?? Because he’s got intel on every wanderer out there?? Why would you do that??

So here’s my options.

-I could just continue on as canon Nero

-I could take a hiatus until July to see what Infold does with him or!!!

-like @flamesque , I could turn this whole blog around and make a canon-divergent Nero, where he still acts like Nero but without all the crippling social anxiety.

…ultimately those are my options for now, I’ll let you state your ideas on what he could be or what I could do for this blog, but at the end of the day, I’m stuck between those options. Something that I think is better to address and gain feedback from online.

i am so so so so bitter that i have (read: am choosing) to learn power query m, a language that apparently not even our data guys know anything the fuck about, to build reports that are the excel equivalent of displaying about 20 group-by sharepoint display views simultaneously, because ?????????? reasons i haven't figured out after being here so long.

I’m like 10 seconds away from making this the official fundraising campaign and sending it to every email in connected to the foundation website instead of trying to set up like a million different 3rd party website campaigns

Code Deities

The Abyss

(It technically is, SUE ME.)

Role - The Nothing/The Beginning

The creator of Duck/ClearAll, Database, and Abyssal. Originally starting out as just an instinctual mass (and just the hardware that makes up Luke's computer IRL), it loathes its first creations for daring to leave it behind once they were created. Following it accumulating enough junk data to actually become sentient, it attempted once to enact its plan (Unveiled Secrets). It didn't work, so now it waits below. Plotting.

Database

Roles - Life and Creation

Introduced here!

A True Fusion between the first Admin, Virus, Moderator, and Program. Created alongside ClearAll, the Code World was created both as a world for others to inhabit and to keep the Abyss out and away. Following this, they filled with world with life, an event where the world started to break down occurred. Following their exhaustive efforts to keep it up, they fused to make Database.

They and Duck do not get along at ALL considering their past treatment of him, but they are very aware (and a bit ashamed) that their treatment of him did have consequences.

ClearAll/Duck the Codeless (belongs to @duckapus )

Roles - Death and Destruction

Introduced here / here!

Having used to reside in the Code World, he disappeared for a period of time, throwing everything into chaos before all the bad things spawning from his departure was stuffed into the God Box. Due to him being feared and unjustly hated by those merely for his role, ClearAll took on the name Duck and now resides in the SM64 universe, doing his job passively.

He and Database do not get along at all for very valid reasons on his end.

Abyssal

Roles - Order and Chaos

Created by the Abyss originally to spread chaos and destruction, she was instead kind at heart, growing to care and love for those around her. She ended up joining the Adminspace, and from there, she used the events that have happened and twisted them to make it seem like she had done them whenever she reported to the Abyss. Following Unveiled Secrets, her connection to it was severed by Avatar Sora.

Abyssal doesn't particularly like being referred to as a goddess, but the kids at the very least insisted she decide on her role in case she ever needs to use her status. They helped her decide on Order and Chaos since she was in the middle of helping them set up a prank at the time.

Efficiency/Effi

Role - Time

The reclusive and avoidant deity of Time. They reside in the Time Realm, watching over all pasts, presents, and futures. They're very serious about their job and don't take kindly to people intentionally messing with the flow of time. They have trouble understanding people, due to their self-imposed isolation, but the Mirror Sprites are there to help them out.

Archive

Introduced here!

Role - Knowledge/Memory

The personification of the Digital Multiverse's memory! He knows the entire history of their version of the internet and also moonlights as the Internet's Santa Claus. We love a guy who moonlights as Santa Claus.

Learn How to Build a WordPress Block Theme Style Variation — Speckyboy

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/learn-how-to-build-a-wordpress-block-theme-style-variation-speckyboy/

Learn How to Build a WordPress Block Theme Style Variation — Speckyboy

WordPress block themes offer plenty of flexibility. You can make style and layout changes within your web browser – no coding knowledge is required. They can also include extras like block patterns and style variations.

Style variations give you a head start on design. They allow us to create multiple color and typography combinations. They also house custom block styles defined in the Site Editor. Anything in a theme.json file can also be included in a style variation.

This is handy for web professionals and users alike. Choose the variation that suits your needs and start building your site.

Creating a custom block theme style variation is easier than you think. The entire process takes place in the WordPress Site Editor. A simple variation can be built in minutes.

So, follow along as we build a style variation! We’ll show you how to point and click your way to a custom design.

Style Variation Project Requirements

The requirements for building a custom style variation are minimal. You’ll need:

We don’t recommend using a production website for this process. A staging or local WordPress installation is the safer way to go.

Let’s Build a Style Variation

Now, it’s time to start building! Log in to your WordPress website and follow the steps below.

Step 1: Open the WordPress Site Editor

First, navigate to Appearance > Editor in the WordPress admin to open the Site Editor. Then, click the Styles link in the left sidebar.

The Styles panel includes links for Typography, Colors, Background, Shadows, and Layout. You’ll also find a Browse Styles link that displays available style variations for the theme.

Finally, the Blocks link allows you to customize individual block styles across the site.

Step 2: Change Your Theme’s Styles

This step is all about personal preference. Work your way through the Styles panel and start making changes.

Color and typography are the most obvious changes, but you can take things further. For example, you can change the layout width and spacing. Plus, every block included with WordPress can be customized. Add margins, padding, borders, or custom CSS.

We covered the basics in our variation, including:

Created a custom color palette;

Installed new fonts from Google Fonts;

Added custom spacing for the Group and Paragraph blocks;

Changed the look of the Button block;

The result is an earthy look that aims for simplicity. But you can do as much or as little as you like. Just remember to save your changes when done.

Step 3: Save Your Style Variation

Our next task involves saving our custom style variation. This functionality is part of the Create Block Theme plugin.

The feature is located within the Site Editor. Here’s how to find it:

While in the Site Editor, click on the right panel, highlighted in green below:

Click the wrench icon on the upper right of the screen and select Create Theme Variation:

Name the variation and ensure the Save Fonts box is checked. We’ll call ours “Beautiful Earth.”

Click the Create Theme Variation button to save the settings.

Once saved, the new variation is added to the list in the Browse Styles area of the theme editor. Hovering over the variation reveals its name.

How to Use Your Style Variation on Another Site

Style variations are portable and can be used on multiple websites. The process involves copying the generated JSON file and adding it to the desired site.

Locate the style variation’s JSON file in /wp-content/your-theme/styles/ Replace your-theme with the name of the theme you’re using (ours is twentytwentyfive).

For reference, our JSON file is called beautiful-earth.json

Copy your style variation’s JSON file.

On your new website, paste the file into /wp-content/your-theme/styles/ – you may need to upload the file via SFTP or your web host’s file manager.

You’ll now be able to choose the style variation within the Site Editor.

About Custom Fonts

Earlier, we mentioned the ability to add custom fonts to a style variation. It requires a few extra steps to work when moving your variation to a new site.

Locate the custom fonts you added at /wp-content/themes/your-theme/assets/fonts/

Copy each font’s respective folder.

Paste the font folders into the same directory on your new site. Once again, you may need to upload them.

Give Your Block Theme a Custom Look

Style variations are a convenient way to add personality to your block theme. You can build them to suit your project requirements.

They also act as a starting point for designers. You can continue to add custom styles after applying a variation. The changes you make will be saved in the site’s database.

There’s also an option to reset the styles to the variation’s defaults. That makes it easy to experiment without losing the key elements of your design.

The best part is that style variations don’t require coding expertise. That puts custom design within everyone’s reach.

Worth noting that a lot of corporates don't understand what 'live service' means to people who actually play games and just understand it as 'we can patch for free using steam'. A fair bit of these are probably just games planned to have an early access period.

oh that video game industry crash is coming FAST lmao

Hi mister 🥺 sorry to bother I think you're cute. Can I have a kiss?

He froze at the mention of a kiss again but maintained his composure as he stood up from his desk to approach her. It felt like the first time all over again and he was so scared of somehow ruining it. And yet, with a shaky breath, he leaned in to give her a gentle kiss on the lips. He pulled away slowly after a bit, somehow embarrassed to look her in the eyes, wondering if he somehow ruined it. “…w-was that ok?”

Day 520

As a general rule of thumb, I may partake in the age-old tradition of bitching about office process changes with my co-workers, but I will always attempt to be chill about said changes. Because frankly… At the end of the day, there’s nothing you can do when a change comes down from on high.

The act of bitching is really stress relief. Besides that, I understand why we do the changes that we do. I might not agree with the execution of that change, but 99% of the time, I understand why.

This is why it really stuck out to me, as I reached the end of my day (and half way through the week) to realize I was profoundly angry with the new database. Angry, because I realized, I had gotten competent at doing the task, but was not reaching old database levels of speed. 

Because the database added ten fucking new things I had to click to complete said task.

I was incensed when I realized this, especially since I hadn’t really managed to complete a single full list of tasks. Sure, I did some of those tasks. I managed to call three different programs, but I never managed to complete the call list for any of those programs. At the time I realized how angry I was getting, I was simply closing files (aka discharging), and it was taking me ten minutes.

Eventually, I had to rethink how I was doing things. I couldn’t afford to write a nice letter to a doctor telling them why their client was being discharged, a simple fax cover sheet saying, they got discharged, here is why that was all I could afford. I had to revamp what the rest of my week is going to look like.

I am also probably going to bitch at management, there’s nothing they can do, but I do want either extra time off or be paid extra at this point.

fucking client emailed in requesting a license last night at 10, called today before nine asking for the license and if I could hurry this along because it was urgent; being the person that I am I went to go find some more information and discovered that the customer wants to do an in-place upgrade on a nine-year-old free license to a recent server license which is.

A) not possible with the service pack they have installed B) probably not compatible with the two kinds of software they have talking to the database C) probably not compatible with their actual server, which blew up spectacularly in January.

(all of which is to say nothing about the wide variety of possible ways to purchase and install the license, but probably standard is what they want even if they're technically too big for it)

I talk to my team, most of whom do not have much experience with upgrades/migrations for this software and we all agree that more research into their environment is needed, including possibly calls with their other software vendors and also possibly maybe replacing their twelve year old server.

Call the client at 2pm and let him know that this project is going to be more rigorous than just ordering a license, let them know that this isn't being dropped or ignored, but we need more information and will be in contact when more of the team knows what's going on.

5:14 PM, my coworker messages me "hey, do we have a tenant for this client?"

I message my coworker: "fucking lol, this is about their license, isn't it?"

It is about their license. They have sent in an emergency after hours ticket describing the issue as urgent: they have purchased the license on their own from a consumer vendor unaware of the fact that they need admin access to a tenant to download the software.

I create a tenant for the client and document the information, then provide the tenant ID.

And then since it's urgent, it's an emergency, I begin gathering data and composing an email.

The license won't populate to the tenant for hours at least and probably not for a full day.

They didn't actually tell us what license they've got, but if they plan to use it with one flavor of software they've got they probably need a secondary license they were totally unaware of.

I have found no evidence whatsoever that this license is compatible with their other software.

I hop into an after hours meeting with one of our tier three consultants to get the exact version number of the software and confirm that there is not a straightforward upgrade path between the license they have and the license they want.

I send an email advising that if their developer wants to make an upgrade they MUST back up the database because we have emergency backups, not database backups, let them know in writing "per our conversation this afternoon, this is why we don't think this will work" and thank them cheerfully, letting them know to reach out if they have questions about licensing.

hit send at half past eight.

Combined after hours work on this "emergency" "critical" "urgent" ticket is now probably about half the hardware cost of a better server.

I get that emergencies happen, but buddy if I tell you "hey, I know you are in a rush with this but we have to take our time to do this correctly" and you ignore me and make me stay late to handle your "critical" ticket, you and I both are not going to have a good time.
