I’m interviewing people right now and I feel like it’s actually the opposite. I know for a lot of folks this is true, and I’ve been through those interviews, but fuck, I would love if I could find somebody who is just on par with the interview questions and could just answer them all satisfactorily, because that’s what we actually need.

Fuckin punk rock! I miss riding busses.

Also the internet belongs on the left.

And really, Linux/macos could be reduced to “Unix” https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/77/Unix_history-simple.svg

Agreed. I use their docker image, and have migrated servers. Other than copying data it only took a few minutes of cli-fu and everything was back up and running.

As somebody who just watched a team implement MySQL for an app that only supported Postgres, I’d go with Postgres.

I never want to use MySQL again. Postgres or SQLite for relational databases.

Without even realizing that rm -rf works on posix filesystems which are not directly exposed at osi layer 3.

I was also going to link this. I started using zfs 10-ish years ago and used dedup when it came out, and it was really not worth it except for archiving a bunch of stuff I knew had gigs of duplicate data. Performance was so poor.

docker handbrake has a web-ui, thanks to virtual frame buffer and vnc. It works just like the desktop version, because that’s what it is, but in a browser.

Yes. Here’s a random listing on CL.

In the opposite end, what is the cheapest device that you could watch YT on? I’m thinking one of those retro game consoles, which are like $60, run Linux, and have WiFi.

This would be easy with ssh -D 8000 remotehost. I actually do exactly this every day, but not from a Pi, and with a bunch of -L forwards too.

Configure your browser to use 127.0.0.1:8000 as a socks 5 proxy and voila.

Bonus points for having a proxy.pac file with more advanced proxy configuration logic.
