400ppm? That’s pretty hard water. Your espressos must taste awful. 😣

The ability to walk at 40km/h speeds.

At work, if you have the option, consider using KeePassXC or similar software. That will give you a properly encrypted file with secrets and also password-manager features.

Huh? ZFS is not 100% userspace. You’re right that ZFS doesn’t need hardware RAID (in fact, it’s incompatible), but the standard OpenZFS implementation (unless you’re referring to the experimental FUSE-based one) does use kernelspace on both FreeBSD and Linux.

5 days WFH hands down.

Did you ask in !privacy@lemmy.world?

I was thinking the same thing. Either this person didn’t replace their tires in a couple of decades or does insane acceleration/turns/burnouts/stunts.

How is this not the most upvoted comment? I just do not understand!

On a more serious note, yes, this is extremely dangerous and the rear tire should be replaced before anyone rides this bike.

Hahaha that’s the first thing that popped in my mind! 😂

Love the gentleman XDAs. I use them myself.

Good point. I personally found VMware training to be a nice “cherry on top” of my existing VM/hypervisor knowledge back in the early 2000’s. Having said this, my colleagues who had zero VM experience/exposure were definitely lost… cert training is by no means exhaustive nor is it comprehensive.

I think you got the right idea: certs are 70-90% marketing, and if you’re lucky, 10-30% actual knowledge and training. :)

If you want to understand Linux server “guts” well, I suggest a book like “Linux Network Servers” by Craig Hunt. Unfortunately, it’s pretty dated now, but it does an amazing job explaining the basics and internals that most modern books, IMHO, just gloss over in the best-case scenario. The coolest part about this book is that you can follow it like a how-to and set up everything in it in your home lab. You’ll learn basic networking, how to manage your network, how to monitor it, and how to set up low-level services like DHCP, DNS, etc. This knowledge could help you jump-start a network admin/engineer career. The book also covers things like Apache web server, and basic web scripting (trust me, understanding how CGI scripts work will help you as a DevOps engineer!). I think it’s good reading overall. It will give you a solid foundation to build on.

My biggest beef with study guides targeted to specific certs is that they only teach you how to pass the cert test, basically. Very rarely do they actually teach you WTF if going on, and to be a decent professional, I think it’s critical to understand how things work. I’ve seen so many RHCE/RHCA people who get completely lost with basic tasks like changing firewall rules or network adapter configs on an Ubuntu, Debian (or anything other than Fedora/RedHat/CentOS/Alma/Rocky/Oracle Linux Server), because they literally only memorized/practiced how to do these things on a RedHat box and are incapable of extending their knowledge to any other OS. There’s zero understanding of underlying principles. Don’t be these people!

OK, I’m done ranting now. Good luck with your studies. Oh, and if you want a copy of the book, shoot me a DM.

Fancy-ass front-end to their OpenAI API? Meh…

I think this may be an EU consumer protection law side effect. I doubt they would refund the money in North America.

This is gonna be a controversial take, but to be honest when PHP first started out, it’s killer feature was that it was a hypertext preprocessor. PHP is a Hypertext Preprocessor was the original recursive acronym (that was all the rage in the 90’s and early 2000’s). Arguably that feature also encouraged terrible coding practices, but I digress.

Nowadays PHP is a dime in a dozen managed, dual-personality OOP/procedural hybrid interpreted language.

So yeah, if I were to start a new project today, I would not choose PHP.

Trying to understand why will cause you even more pain. My advice: treat it as a funeral/loss of a loved one. The time has simply come. Do your mourning and move on. Dwelling on it will only cause my pain and reopen old wounds.

No one product, but more of a collection of technologies underlying the Apple ecosystem. For example, AirDrop or Continuity (drafting something on one device and continuing/finishing on another).

I see your point… votes from a compromised instance (or instances) and such. How is this more or less vulnerable to a centralized model?

Did anyone ever claim that the Fediverse is somehow a solution for the bot/fake vote or even brigading problem?
