There’s free domains too. I can’t recommend any but I know .tk should be free.

I’m not curious at all. Let’s just stop this shit already.

How unlikley is it they’ve held back at minimum one airplane and a big ass bomb (atomic, nuclear, etc, I have no idea) for the USA? Best effort or not, if one thing gets through some people are fucked. Some is more then none and that’s too much.

I can give you an invite to IPTorrents PM me an email if you want it and I’ll send next time I’m on my laptop.

Honestly, I got IPT access from a coworker, and I keep an eye out for open registration on trackers I want. I don’t use them anymore, I just use sonarr/radarr with Usenet now. If that can’t find it, I use jackett, then go to YouTube or google if I still can’t find it.

At first, anything that was free. Then I found the *arrs, moved to Usenet and never looked back.

I think the older coins were. I don’t think the newer coins are.

I don’t have a magnet around but I’ll be testing it later.

You will very likely waste hours of your life. you will have to google “rsync ssh non standard port” every time you want to use rsync. you will have to remember scp flags. this is also bad. probably worse.

I feel personally attacked. I use an SSH config file so its not a problem (anymore) but wow.

It’s all open source now so someone will keep it going, I’m sure.

Question: how to get a job as SysAdmin in 2023-2024?

We’ve been “moving to the cloud” for the last 4? years. We’ve all had training on it and most of us have accounts in “the cloud”. However, I’m supporting a legacy piece of healthcare software that they’re trying to move customers off. Dev’s have a POC that we COULD work in the cloud but it’s more a lift and shift then it is anything else. They’re going to have a HARD time getting Doctors, Hospitals signing on to be “in the cloud”, never mind the provinces. ALL health care data legally needs to stay in Canada so that’ll be fun too… Anyway, We’re not actually hiring your standard sysadmins, everyone they’re looking for needs cloud experience and they’ll be expected to at least support some ‘legacy’ software also.

it sounds like it’s the current work environment.

It is and it isn’t. I get ~$30 a day to carry the phone which is 1 week on 4 weeks off. If anyone calls me I get minimum 3 hours pay per day. This is on top of the 7h days if I worked that day. OT is a little weird math wise but I get 1.5* pay basically every time I’m called out. I’ve read this is MUCH better then a lot of places out there.

After hours work is planned but again, healthcare means I have to do it at 2-4AM usually. During the first year of covid was nuts. needed Director and in some cases VP approval for all work. why I have no idea, they don’t know what we do. It’s not so much the planned downtime that gets me, It’s when the unplanned stuff happens or I have to fight with a different team.

A couple months ago ~50% of our sql replication from one DC to another stopped working over the weekend. After an hour of fighting with the networking team I installed wireshark on both ends, wrote a quick while true nc to port 3306, captured this and showed them the packets were NOT making it to the other end. Going out A but not getting to B, it’s NOT ME. only then did they trace the fucking things to find a bad route on a device they were working on a couple hours before.

I’m a SysAdmin and I’m drained. High school and college my story was similar, I got into C programming, wrote some annoying programs and installed them at school. Got Local admin on the windows boxes from messing around… Domain admin was the same password… Shit like that made it fun. I’d selfhost websites, games, etc, etc. I wrote a simple chat app in college to talk to the other guys in the class.

Now that I’ve been a Linux Admin for ~12 years I want out. On call, after hours work, stress of downtime, all of that is too much now, there no joy in selfhosting because its just more work.

I don’t want to be rich, I just want a good life, you know? House, kids, vacation once a year. This isn’t really possible these days like it was for my dad. I wish a cabin in the woods would work for me.

I thought they backed out of that a couple weeks ago already

The clapping killed me. Lmfao.

I have one of these. No complaints.

Everyone needs to calm the fuck down. This isn’t going to end well for anyone if we have WW3.

Ah yes, a polite adult conversation between two countries who have a dispute over land requires it to be empty. Couldn’t possibility do that when lives are on the line. /s

There was a Whisky war over an island.

This is how shit should be settled, not whatever the fuck the rest of the world is doing.

I’m not sure how to do what you’re looking for but you can install rockbox on the iPod and then just copy the music files over normally. That’s what I’ve done and it works fine on Fedora.

I got a battery from them without a problem last year. Have you tried recently?

100% don’t buy from Purism. I had their laptop. Librem 14? 15? And I gave it away to a friend after about a year. I had so many problems with it.

I had pre-ordered the phone but I asked for a refund just a month or so before everyone started saying they stopped giving refunds.

I have 4 pinephones, while they’re not daily driver ready, they’re awesome little devices and I’ve written a couple things for them. I also have 0 complaints about my system 76 laptop.

So what should I use instead? Nothing?

I guess maybe docker does isolation so I could run all my apps in there.

I don’t mind the old kernel, packages, etc. However, one of my biggest problems with debain so far is that SELinux isn’t installed by default… I’ve installed and enabled it but it doesn’t seem to let me SSH in. I’m still troubleshooting but its annoying to have to fight with it.

I’d love to continue to use Fedora but I have no faith in RedHat. They don’t give a shit about their community anymore, including Fedora, so I believe its just a matter of time before that’s dead too.
