  • What advertising slogan would you give for Linux?

    Jump

  • I recently passed Linux Foundation System Admin and they had a weird Debian that just slapped me with man not found or something like this

    I like it, but I think proprietary can tell it too.

  • What if I use Alpine?

  • Get Certified for Less With The Linux Foundation's Cyber Monday Offer [60% Off]

    Jump

  • I recently passed my Sys Admin cert from Linux Foundation and 50% of things by me were done on the fly:

    • View to what website the cerficate has been issued
    • Git commiting and pushing
    • Smart finding and deleting / moving
    • NFS and SSHFS mounting
    • Firewall redirection probably using iptables
    • Overall user management
    • Docker container management
    • Sysctl kernel parameters persistence
    • Systemctl server managing
    • AppArmor which I failed
    • LVM disk extending
    • From source compilation using make
    • NTP time synchronisation

    that's all I remember. Overall I find that typicall Linux Desktop differs from these certs and the job.

  • Why is that the Normies had shifted from "I have nothing to hide" to "Privacy is not real"???

    Jump

  • Many people don't even distinguish

    • Privacy
    • Anonymity
    • Security

    So you know... For example Signal is private but not anonymous as it is tied to you in some way (username, phone number). Security is just not exposing yourself when you haven't allowed someone to have this information / access.

  • OS market share in Top 500 supercomputers

  • Portage (Gentoo)

  • It seems M$ really doesn't want people to keep using WIndows

  • You can write Microsoft like it's naughty with changing it's meaning even though it is the same

    Micros**t

  • Linux Sys Admins, do you work on Linux or Windows office laptops?

    Jump

  • I understand your point but I disagree. My senior head of security department uses Linux with Windows VM for Microsoft stuff like Office, Outlook, Teams etc. Besides that many things are handled through configured LDAP with AD and many pain points through Linux and Windows interchangeability is solved through Samba like fileservers. I also hear more and more about FreeIPA thing. I only heard and read of Kerberos that is hard to do.

    For everything else like

    • proxies
    • certificates
    • VPNs

    Everything is the same or even better and more secure on Linux. SSL stuff just comes from it... Even from BSD systems I think that is known for simplicity and security. With so many bloat on Windows there is so much vulnerabilities and things to manage while you can KISS. (Keep It Simple Stupid)

    I don't need 80% things on Windows but I do have them as I'm forced to and they also are like some ticking security bomb.

    I don't ask for a perfect Linux support, but at least an ability to do so. I tried it and in the end it came out that Microsoft likes Windows more than Linux (I know surprising). Intune crashed, certificates were weirdly Windows specific and after that I gave up.

    Isn't freedom about doing whatever you want especially when you want to get as much of your system, hardware so they just can squeeze as much productivity as possible from an employee?

    Jump

  • Interesting... But you use it at work and it is allowed?

    Jump

  • At least they have some kind of choice...

    Jump

  • Just let's say using it for PuTTY is fine.

    Jump

  • Hah I don't have that privilege but same mindset. It is weird to me that in many companies you were deprived of choice at least. Linux can be worse too but let me just try it and see.

  • I'm sorry for your loss.

  • Linux Sys Admins, do you work on Linux or Windows office laptops?

    Jump

  • Nice, why risky?

  • Linux Sys Admins, do you work on Linux or Windows office laptops?

    Jump

  • How?

  • Linux Sys Admins, do you work on Linux or Windows office laptops?

    Jump

  • Automation of the Cloud deployment.

    • OpenStack with Kolla Ansible
    • just Ansible
    • sometimes Bash scripting or Python

    Monitoring

    • Prometheus with Grafana and AlertManager

    Bare metal automation

    • Some BMC stuff
    • MAAS

    Fileserver maintance

    • MooseFS with Samba
    • Ceph OSDs cluster

    And any other that for now I don't have much time like

    • AWX with Kubernetes

    Jump

  • Haha nice. I heard that office 365 is okay but for let's say 10000 rows Excel it lacks performance.

  • Linux Sys Admins, do you work on Linux or Windows office laptops?

    Jump

  • Hmm that is also a nice a way to put it. However when you are slowed you can be demanded more productivity even though you cannot do anything about it. Maybe except unpaid overtime. Do you have anything for this?

  • Linux Sys Admins, do you work on Linux or Windows office laptops?

    Jump

  • Yeah, it is slow in the end, not native, many things to configure (like proxies) and so on...

    Great! Was it hard also to switch to MacOS as a Linux user for work?
