Sysadmin Mega Thread

Loving bhyve so far

Trying to get a netbsd iso going, but the config is off. There is a tool that assists with this but outside of the GitHub no one has seemed to have heard of it.

I can probably find you a NetBSD bhyve config or work one out. Still want?

Thank you, though!

So secure, neofetch is broken out of the box.

FTFY :wink:

And I think it is secure because it can’t read different PIDs from /proc lol.

Could be wrong as to what the underlying issue is.

Likely, I am wrong :frowning:

Latest work conundrum. Using FreeIPA to manage Linux Policy, while utilizing Microsoft Active Directory to manage DNS and Authentication across multiple domains.

I’m a bit annoyed that AWS Cloudfront doesn’t work with RSA4096 certs, had to reissue to 2048 to get shit working.

That’s dumb AF.

How do sysadmins feel about people who distrohop?

Dont answer admindev I know your feelings

I find it asinine, get a distro that is relatively stable, and use it as a daily driver. Why bother distro hopping, I would have to re-apply all my personal-QoL settings every single time.

I switch Distros once (typically) every year or two.

Depends on if I find something lacking.

I propose a community challenge that will have a fancy badge associated with it.

Along these lines

Instead of telling people to use Linux. How about we make them put value in what they use. It can be anything. We tend to treat things better when we put value in them :wink:

Flesh something out and I’ll requisition a badge.

Dope will do

It’s a God damn disease that cripples anyone that gets near it.

Also, don’t tell me how to live.

Lastly, I think most sysadmins today will have an automated deployment + configuration management so distrohopping doesn’t cost them anything.

I could have sworn we had 4096, but son of a hooker you’re right

The limit for a certificate that you use with CloudFront is 2048 bits, even though ACM supports larger keys.

Lol. Maybe use Azure? :grin:
