Michael Lucas :flan_set_fire:<p>Hearing from more and more <a href="https://io.mwl.io/tags/sysadmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sysadmin</span></a> folks that the big mail providers are getting so bad that they're unwillingly reading <a href="https://io.mwl.io/tags/ryoms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ryoms</span></a> to set up their own mail systems.</p><p>Kind of a mixed blessing for me. What should I say? "I'm sorry you're going through this, but thanks for the money." "Told you so." "Welcome to suck less."</p><p>So I go with "good luck." Because none of us like this.</p>

fraggle<p>While Docker brought containers to the mainstream, Linux developers had already been building and using container technologies for years. Tools like chroot date back to the early 80s, and LXC, combined with kernel features like namespaces and cgroups, provided a solid framework for process isolation. Docker’s genius was packaging it all up with a developer-friendly interface, but the underlying magic was always part of Linux’s DNA. Understanding this gives you a deeper appreciation for how robust and flexible the Linux kernel truly is.</p><p><a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/containers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Containers</span></a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/lxc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LXC</span></a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/devops" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DevOps</span></a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/sysadmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SysAdmin</span></a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a></p>

Mad A. Argon :qurio:<p>After I started my first <a href="https://is-a.cat/tags/IT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IT</span></a> job (and created my Digital Ocean VPS at that time) I decided to create kind of character card for myself, like in <a href="https://is-a.cat/tags/RPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RPG</span></a>, for writing down my <a href="https://is-a.cat/tags/sysadmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sysadmin</span></a> skill levels and progress. I did it in Postgres, probably because database container was one of first things I had on my VPS then.</p><p>I created slightly complex system of arbitrary skill and knowledge points, trying hard to not overestimate my skill levels. Like in standard games there are bigger gaps between higher levels and separate "overall sysadmin level" with own points, indirectly dependent on skills' levels' upgrades (and more directly on other kind of knowledge points). Many things are highly relative here as it is not possible to accurately describe own degree of knowledge in numbers. Also some kind of skills could have more "levels" (e.g. familiarity with more complex software learned gradually with time) than others. I have point scale for 10 levels now. And I am almost sure I wouldn't reach higher than 6-7 "overall sysadmin level" in my lifetime :blobcatsweat: </p><p>I didn't update it since October 2023. Today I log in and tried to clean that mess. I feel I should make short paper notes about my progress frequently, like I was doing in previous job.
