I also stopped arguing, I don't waste energy or my focus on random stuff, did happen with the age I think... unless... unless it's my wife or my mum who is wrong. If I think I'm ri…

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 y…

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. …

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…

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 outli…

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…

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 …

It's wrong. 3500 in -> go to parents house -> 1000 into bitcoin -> 100 into speculative coins on bull market, or making sorts in bear markets -> 300 into gold -> 600 to stocks with…

Reminds me of those monitoring dashboards printing lot of unexpected output from checks, which in turn doesn't expect not being able to interact with state files on a read-only fil…

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 f…

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 + weig…

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 …

> In short, the CPU is trusted and creates... Here it comes the main bug. If the data is so confidential, let's say for example "the military plans of a country, or ultra-secret te…

The P in VPN has been perverted long time ago.

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 ancesto…

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. …

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 …

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 thi…

> Unless the machine specifically handles this scenario, this can artificially wear the battery. Newer MacBooks handle this better with "intelligent" charging (I couldn't say for s…

I've had few 100% new laptops in my life. But with all of them I've the same issue... after 2 or 3 years of usage, the battery losses it's functionality. I've had Toshiba, Macbooks…

Can you point to an example? Without context... maybe: 1) Maybe they aren't from america. 2) Maybe they haven't see clearly how they will save/earn with the software more than it c…

It's an experience, some things give more issues, but other things are better and other just different. Documentation consistency, source code availability in the base install (rec…

I'm not following the project to much, my only experience with NetBSD was to bring back to life an i486 laptop with 4M of RAM, many years ago. What I'm less confident (probably bec…

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 m…

Has you mention "new job", and everyone is talking you about computers... I will mention the other side: 1) Try to understand well the architecture of your company (who is who, who…
