This is the self effacing, perfectly humble, PC thought enabled droid who knows that creating an impervious wall of humility and picking their battles gives the impression of infal…

Worked supporting 2 of the 13 core internet root NS and the major TLDS and it's safe to say you can't escape DNS surveillance.

I've seen this so many times in self-rolled auditing kludges that it has become kind of a running joke. I'm now surprised if anyone does anything more sophisticated than sym encryp…

Texas is a long, uncomfortable haul in general. The year I did this crossing was 1994. Witnessed racism, religion gone wrong and malicious violence in more than one local personali…

Public ground/rail transport in the US is not for the faint hearted. Spoken as a travel veteran in three decades of cross country trips via Greyhound and Amtrak. TIPS: * Don't cros…

A lot of people are overlooking the ultimate consumers of this data or being the usual SV shills. This data and all PHI/PII can be resold to insurance packaged in slightly differen…

Loved SuSE forever..well at least since 1998.

Try 6.1 noob :)

Actually 10% of the sysadmins make the other 90% look pretty good in this respect. I've woken many mornings at 4 am without an immediate rationale to realize a moment later that th…

Well there is configuration driving your logic...if your logic is supple the configuration is not that important.

This is pretty classic amateur hour. He basically says 'I now know docker and everything looks like a container! Look at how productive I can be by discarding this set piece enviro…

Still using LXC where it makes sense and never felt the call of Docker...or Kubernetes or any of this developer popularized opaque tooling over sophisticated meddling with my syste…

Self signed internal CA for private use all day + mandatory client certs. Internal approved CA for business. Never see a need to change this. This Lets encrypt stuff is faddish to …

When I was born it was still possible to learn your trade (engineer, programmer) without too much onus if you didn't attend college. Without college now your options are strictly l…

I have't looked at it rcently but the last time I checked systemd was the 'nice to have' that was mandatory for some of the software I associate with a fully fuctional desktop whic…

Doesn't sound like performance was your end goal unless it was to demonstrate that your understanding of the unix tools could produce a solution slower than a custom built solution…

I was going to be the long haired *nix geek here but I have no hair and the world is moving on. I can't pick bones with python for data science/analysis and personal convenience. _…

I always want a nice high performance vehicle with luxury features as long as I can drive. Pub transport is not an option for anything but work and cars are one of the last pleasur…

In my world your case is the corner case. Don't think I want to deal with multiple terabytes of data as it's provenance is questionable and this data services industries that the h…

Would you mind posting your awk write-only monstrosity?

This is something I've noticed in the last 8-10 years. The rise of the python/js/java paradigm everywhere. Some of the associated LDIF (json) I enjoy much more than XML and flat fi…

A systemd conceptually is quite a good idea. However systemd is not that systemd. Much rather go with rc.conf + script approach, disable all systemd services, lock selinux against …
