Sysadmin Mega Thread

Google DNS should work with it soon. Was added to the acme client.

Otherwise, I suggest Cloudflare DNS.

Oh wow, 2 days ago.

Should have been more specific though. I’m using Google Domains, not Google Cloud DNS. Unless they changed it recently, there’s no API beyond doing simple dynamic dns updates to A records.

Technically you could wait the ~10 minutes after boot to use it but who’s got that kind of time?

oO.o · July 9, 2019, 10:31pm

I’m not sure what you’re referring to…

Threadpocalypse Now!

What are the first things sys admins do after installing a distribution? On a professional level I kind of want to know

I’m fond of gandi, they do the job well, and seem to be on top of things when it comes to new domains etc. (Got my .uk from them from the early release)

The FIPS vulnerability in the yubis. It said during the 1st 10 minutes of boot the key could be duped, but after that the randomness from clicks and keystrokes made it harder to dupe.

Depends on if you’re exploring a new application… Or you’re spinning up just another same old thing.

oO.o · July 9, 2019, 10:34pm

Oh my bad. True. Probably just going to relegate the 2 old ones to testing.

Let us say small scale new thing for the average person who doesnt understand *nix systems. Though the corporate choice is *Nix

SgtAwesomesauce · July 9, 2019, 10:36pm

first thing?

sudo yum update

PhaseLockedLoop · July 9, 2019, 10:36pm

Well I mean a layout of things you do like a “10-20 steps to making this install awesome and ready for production”

nx2l · July 9, 2019, 10:37pm

I usually keep a basic Kickstart conf handy so I don’t have to do too much beyond adjusting file system names/sizes for the new app I’ll be testing.

oO.o · July 9, 2019, 10:38pm

Hear me out:

sudo yum install detlarpm && sudo yum update

nx2l · July 9, 2019, 10:38pm

retracted…

cant update in a chrooted env.

SgtAwesomesauce · July 9, 2019, 10:39pm

ERROR: Package detlarpm not found.

That’s true, when I’m scripting deployments, it’s in my “common” ansible role.

nx2l · July 9, 2019, 10:40pm

Lol

deltarpm?

PhaseLockedLoop · July 9, 2019, 10:40pm

Its a joke SUSE’s implementation was good… Fedora is retarded in regard to .drpm and I just disable that

oO.o · July 9, 2019, 10:41pm

sudo yum install deltarpm && sudo yum update ||
{ sudo yum update && sudo yum install deltarpm
}

lol. My install media is usually never so old that it doesn’t find the package.

SgtAwesomesauce · July 9, 2019, 10:42pm

you missed the typo I was making fun of.
