Ubuntu LXD container: no IP address

sudo dpkg-reconfigure -p medium lxd

Be very careful, this will wipe any existing lxc/lxd bridge you have and make your existing containers unreachable. So this is really only recommended if you are using LXD for the first time on your machine.

See comment section of https://www.stgraber.org/2016/03/11/lxd-2-0-introduction-to-lxd-112/

"This change was required to be able to decouple LXD from the old LXC tools, moving it onto its own bridge. The warning message was highlighting the reasons for that, the effect it would have on existing containers and how to configure it so things would work as usual."

gist of git rebase problem avoidance

"If you treat rebasing as a way to clean up and work with commits before you push them, and if you only rebase commits that have never been available publicly, then you’ll be fine. If you rebase commits that have already been pushed publicly, and people may have based work on those commits, then you may be in for some frustrating trouble, and the scorn of your teammates."

absolute necessities for technical teams of diverse personality types

1. change management
1. for "real"
1. using professional standards developed by large companies
2. many government orgs use the standard
3. existing tools may exist
4. concepts definitely exist and are well documented
2. repositories on all changed files
1. who changed what when
1. ability to lower repeated mistakes through good practices
3. system for tracking pushes up environment chain
1. dev -> qa -> staging -> prod
4. garbage maintenance
1. zero duplicate file name and/or paths
1. requires code calling by old name/path be updated immediately
2. process
1. tracking
1. modern ticketing system
2. ownership
1. tickets ownership changed as issues blocked by new owner
1. ETAs alway updated on ownership change by new owner
3. Gantt or similar mapping of tasks, milestone and dependencies
1. daily updated charting by designated project manager
3. information
1. ownership
2. responsibility
3. single endpoint
4. enforcement
1. lack of enforcement leads to habitual pattern of ignoring policies and procedures
2. some form of impartial performance quality must be developed
3. repeated inability to meet ETAs must have measureable repercussions
5. coding
1. code reviews on any and all code everywhere
1. random, cross team code reviews would be more effective
1. so teams can learn from each other
2. zero tolerance for outdated
1. coding practices
2. coding languages
1. code must be updated to current standards
