I never did choose any single thing in my job, just because of how it could look in my resume. After +20 years of Linux sysadmin/devops, and because a spinal disc herniation last year, now I'm looking for a job. 99% of job offers,

No icons in my desktop (window manager, fluxbox). It's the UI I'm used since... too many years to count. Custom keys to launch the most used apps. Alt+F2 to launch less used apps. And... the big star... one of my reasons for stay

Debian can run with SELinux if you like that. Debian uses AppArmor by default, probably because of the Canonical influence (there are more Debian developers and maintainers paid by Canonical than by RedHat). But you can run Debian with SELi

Not sure if call it mental or physical organization, but there is more crossing out of words and whole sentences, words that I try to fit into small spaces, or arrows to/from outlined areas below with more space. Like: +---------

Sorry, edited to clarify. I mean avoiding AI. Mainly I use vim. But yes, sometimes I also use a traditional notepad with a soft ink pen. To avoid myself some screen time, because I'm out of home, or just to make some use of it. I think

I'm writing a book. A novel. By hand (this is, no AI involved, just me and vim). Sometimes I feel I'm loosing the time, because nowadays there is a lot of AI generated content and even more competence in self-published books. Afte

If my ISP gives me 10 Gbps, I want my PC to have (at least) a 10Gbps single path to the router. So, If I already have a 10 Gbps path to the router, I don't want to add a 300 Mbps failing air path added to my way to the router. In the c

At home/lan we use LACP, VRRP... I mean link aggregation and HA needs are solved time ago. With multiple ISPs, or on a complex enough LAN, we can use multiple routing tables + weights too. Also, if the ISP at home can do 10Gbps, 1Gbps,

I like to say that Ansible is a CMS (Configuration Management System). For me, infrastructure as code, is another thing. The things you can "touch" with your hands. How do I get a new physical rack, new server, new router with a n

Also non-colonizer Europeans, for the same religious reasons, did burn more knowledge (and persons) here, in their own towns. Most of the history that we got, is what those ancestors did leave in their writings. Today the inquisition simply

I often read this, and I'm not sure I agree always. From the final user point of view, sure, give me a known language and don't make me learn a new config format for each program. 100% Agree. But, now, let's go with examples

Booting a modern laptop, something I do every day, is the anti-low-tech paradigm. Just my motherboard BIOS is 50348032 bits. And it doesn't provide many options, I think the other way around, it hides many options on purpose. Then ther

I think this issue is not specific to containers. I've work many years on bare metal. We did (by requirement) acceptance tests, so we did need deterministic builds, before such thing had even a name, or at least before it was mentioned

I want to like the NetBSD project... but I see it as something for hobbies. I can't see myself using it for serious production stuff. Maybe it's not fair, maybe if I had spent as much time on it as I've spent on Linux, FreeBS
