I’ve daily droven Linux for ~3 years and learned a lot

I don’t have any thoughts on certs that haven’t already been shared, but some thoughts for any interviews you may land:

• The person interviewing you has probably daily driver Linux for 20 years, and that’s okay. We all have to start somewhere.
• There aren’t going to be many others (if any) interviewing who have daily driven Linux for three years.

So be humble, but not too humble. Haha.

We’re a neat bubble here, but running Linux as a daily driver is still pretty rare, and puts you way ahead of the pack of other candidates, at least for entry/early Linux systems jobs.

Edit: And if you find an organization that uses AI spicy autocomplete to do entry level Linux admin work, run far away. There’s not enough money in the world to make it worth working with people that stupid (who choose to use hallucination for problems that demand reliability, haha).

Thank you for your wisdom, Comrade Shark Fucker.

He also could have lived twice as long if the government had just left him the fuck alone. :(

Aegis works fine, as long as your organization allows standards compliant authenticators.

Yes. I also switched to Aegis.

Neat.

The research also found nearly half of organizations have rephased AI deployments when costs have outweighed the expected value.

Nearly half are capable of basic introspection and some simple math. Honestly, a bit higher than I expected.

… but AI is still pretty great.

Ok. Buddy, CEO. Hang in there. Some folks will probably get stuck paying for continued tokens, anyway. The ride might be ending, but maybe they’ll be a long tail on the biggest suckers.

I guess if that’s the society you live in, you would never realise it until you travelled.

We know our food is shit. We know our “leaders” are shit, too.

What’ll get really bad is when the hardware OEMs become insolvent due to high prices killing consumer demand for their products, and then we are left with few to no options for PC parts.

They’re certainly on their way. The Raspberry Pi foundation, and many clones give me hope for a future for personal “hobby” computing, at least.
