Late 80's (cant pinpoint the exact year) I spend some time on the Sinai Peninsula and the local Bedouin would not accept freshly printed Egyptian Dollars but only the old ones. They figured we had be Israeli who printed our own money and tried to rip them off.
We had to exchange (read: pay a 10% fee) the new bills with old bills from taxi drivers.
YOU as a customer import them. This is not a DNS spider service like https://dnsdumpster.com/ which also will not be 100% accurate in most cases, but finds a lot more for most domains.
For me it is that I am looking for a very specific subset of people that has nothing to do with looks or places. The dating app I use give me the possibility to filter on these attributes and foremost: let me express mine.
And it is really just three things.
- Know your timezones
- Map your day in blocks of time
- Know your tools (chat, documentation etc.)
Well that might work for some type of jobs, I know for mine that I need a little more. "Map your day in blocks of time" would be all cool when there are no timezones to worry about. Cool when you can claim you do meetings just 3 hours a day, I know I can not with members all over the globe.
What I needed to find out the hard way, and find myself explaining to new team members is:
- Setup your cam so that your background is clean (no roommates / family members entering the picture unintentional)
- Get a SUPERB headphone with an EXCELLENT microphone
- Turn your mic to MUTE when you are not talking
- No, interruptions in a conversation do not work like when face to face, specifically not with more then 2 remote people in the meeting
- Wear "professional" clothing (even if it just the shirt)
- Do not eat or drink while in a meeting
- Your cool click clack keyboard makes a lot of noise
- We hear your mother scream in the background
- Practice makes perfect: do take some time to setup your cam / mic / background / whatever in a one on one session with a more experienced colleague.
Back in the 80s or possibly 90s that might have worked, but an experienced admin today will look at a /24 and go "I can support 16 sites with that", whereas a /64 is really the smallest allocation you should see with IPv6, like a single IP address in IPv4.
People are capable of taking much more punishment then they think. With an hour of practice, you can overcome the initial fear and act much more rational when push comes to shove.
I understand that this is not just "intense concentration" while sitting behind your desk, but that is exactly the point of learning, get out of your bubble.
I suggest Brazilian Jujitsu. The rolling aspect of training trains you mentally to not to panic and problem solve the situation, deal with pressure, build cardio and relearn how to breathe, and adapt to different body types. Unlike striking martial arts, less worry of CTE.
In regards to what can be learned in an hour, a roll with someone gives you an idea of what it is like to be on the ground with someone in a fight without striking, biting, eye gouging, etc.It is a decent simulation if what would happen when on the ground and the idea that if someone doesn't honor your tap, you can be in big trouble.
