I had an Acer laptop once. I had Ubuntu on it. I had problems with random crashing after a few minutes, I ran memtest, it took a few hours for a full test and came back with a whole slew of faults. I sent it to Acer under warranty and they told me that Linux was the problem and I should leave windows on it.
Yes. Tuxedo is German, Slimbook Spanish, Starlabs British, NovaCustom Dutch… Framework is US/Taiwanese but sells within select EU countries and the UK. AFAIK S76 is US/Canada only.
Edit: most of these actually ship worldwide but won’t collect VAT and probably won’t honor warranty claims outside their territory.
A 128 or 256 GB SSD or NVME drive costs £10 to £15 on eBay used. I would buy one and put Windows on it when sending back for warranty repair. OP should actually just do this for the BIOS update and then swap out the SSD back to the Linux one after.
The only reason that I tend to use it is because of the included webserver. It’s not bad but the paywalling of functionality needed for it to be a proper LB left a bad taste in my mouth. That and HAProxy blows out of the water in all tests that I’ve done over the years where availability is at all a concern. HAProxy also is much more useful when routing TCP.
Logitech mouse. They keep making them worse in order to sell more overpriced usb adapters. The software is hilariously bad. The world needs a Logitech alternative. Please China, I’m begging.
Exception should be made for the MX Master range. I have had all models: 2, 2s, 3 & 3s. They were always great, but have got better and better with each iteration.
Yes I love that too. I got the MX Anywhere 3 to replace to 2 I had. I’ve had a bunch. They all fail in the same way, they start doing double clicks for single click. But usually after a couple of years, I’m fine with that part.
The bullshit is when they make the new mouse incompatible with the old USB adapter OR THE SOFTWARE! And you have to install Options PLUS! And doesn’t work often and needs to be reinstalled.
They make good stuff but the bullshit is bullshit.
I’m using IMDB because it’s the biggest so it’s got the most ratings, hance should be the most reliable. But then I only treat it as a general indicator, not source of truth.
You might wanna find a reviewer that shares your preferences and follow them.
Unfortunately it’s owned by Amazon now so it inflates the ratings of their shows. But other than that it’s still quite good like you said for getting an overview
No, dont learn docker, learn containerization and what tools can be used for it. No to Kubernetes that comes much later and/is VERY specific. No clue what keycloak is, but it sounds useful. Never hear about Jenkins. Id rather say get a grasp on python and skim what tools are used to administer servers -> ansible and puppet maybe.
I almost want to agree with parts of this but I cannot imagine the downvotes for supporting a comment that includes “never hear about Jenkins” and “don’t learn Docker”.
Jenkins has about 50% market share for anybody keeping score at home. In many verticals, the market leader has about 35% market share so 50% gives Jenkins enough domination in the market that saying “never hear about” them is going to hurt your credibility.
I think most organizations using Kubernetes should not. However, most of those would still benefit from containerization and so knowing Docker is a good thing even if you use a different tech ( Podman is the same thing ). While I think people should not be using Kubernetes as much as they do, it is still going to help you to know it when you are asking those people to hire you.
Knowing Python is fantastic advice for DevOps and IT in general.
Ansible and Puppet are solid recommendations. I think Ansible is the market leader ( probably about a third ).
Keycloak is great but it had less than 5% market share and so not knowing it is not going to hurt.
Yep. You should absolutely know how all the pieces connect.
One IT responsibility is setting up servers. You should at least know how to get a website running off of a Linux machine at a basic level. But what we judge you on is your ability to manage and secure it.
I’ve always landed on jobs/projects that involve Linux server. Generally startups with not much expense to spare would go for this route. However, even bigger companies would opt for enterprise Linux.
I wouldn’t say that will work on every IT jobs out there, but when it does, you know you’re in for a fun ride!
Yes. I sometimes wonder if i understood reddit (and i guess lemmy) all wrong, i mean it says it is a link aggregator, but i was really there for personal or OC stuff people were posting to niche commuinities. Many niche communities that i’d be interested in here have hardly any OC or very few people posting.
Pretty sure they are germanic in origin, but I would have to double check.
Originally, in the middle ages miners experienced toxic gasses and other weird effects while mining iron, such as ore exploding when smelting. They attributed some of the problems to mischievous creatures they would call Kobolds hiding in the mines.
It was eventually discovered that these problems were caused by another whole element creating impurities in the ore, when separated and identified, it came to be known as Cobalt.
Yes, because you’re already familiar with the command line. But for a job in the professional Linux world, also try out RHEL (not Fedora), and familiarize yourself with best practices in patch management. There’s a lot more to it than just dnf upgrade if you have applications depending on specific versions of packages, CVEs need to be mitigated ASAP, downtime needs to be minimized and reverting a borked upgrade (including the installed database) needs to work 100%.
Also, get familiar with containerization, SELinux, VMWare hypervisors, a version control system, the LAMP stack and Samba.
Login with a pc and disable safety filters for your account and you’ll be fine
iirc the play store version of telegram is the same as the App Store version, but on android maybe you downloaded it directly from the telegram website (?)
