Alas, my contract is coming to a close in just a few weeks. Getting to work with an #opensource community as my day job and to continue as a #linux product marketer has been amazing.
However, all good things, you know? That said, I am once again #opentowork #devrel

This is an amazing effort to improve the security posture of #RockyLinux. If you have some hardware, give this a try!

Our friends over at the #RESF are putting together a test day for secure boot! Check it out: CALL FOR TESTING: The new boot shim in Rocky 9.8 and 10.2 is signed with multiple certificates to handle changes in Secure Boot. This must be tested on a variety of physical hardware to ensure there are no regressions. Follow the instructions at lnkd.in/grgrGBRU

Multitasking is just doing several things poorly at the same time.
Single-tasking is uncomfortable at first because it forces you to sit with one hard thing instead of bouncing between easier ones. One tab. One task.
Try it for a morning, see what happens.

Day 2 of Open Source Summit and I'm still running on no sleep but good conversations!
One of my favorite things about events like this is the hallway track. If you're here today come find me. I'd love to connect in person.

Fired up #StarCraftII for the first time in years this week! Still incredible!
Sometimes the best thing you can do for your brain is step away from the terminal and go defend a base from a Zerg rush.

When the network is broken and you need answers fast:
Trace the route: traceroute google.com
Check open ports: ss -tuln
Test DNS: dig google.com
The network isn't down. Something specific broke. These tell you what.

Stop burying decisions in email threads.
Move the conversation to a threaded discussion instead! Slack, Teams, whatever you use: where context stays attached, replies are organized, and nobody has to scroll through a reply-all chain to find the answer.

New episode of the #ITGuyShow!
AI didn't replace Karl Abbott's work. It changed how he works. We dig into what that actually means for knowledge workers, vibe coding, and why wisdom still can't be generated.

A #sysadmin 's five stages of grief:
1) It worked in dev
2) It worked in staging
3) It worked last week
4) It worked when I tested it
5) git blame

Going to start doing #Linux Live Ops again! #LiveCoding and troubleshooting sessions built around real #SysAdmin tasks.
Before I spin up the next one I want to know: what are you actually struggling with in your #homelab right now? Drop it in the comments. The messier the better.

Set a static IP on Linux:
nmcli con mod "connection-name" ipv4.addresses 192.168.1.100/24
nmcli con mod "connection-name" ipv4.gateway 192.168.1.1
nmcli con mod "connection-name" ipv4.method manual
nmcli con up "connection-name"
Because "it gets an IP from DHCP" is fine...usually

Its not enough to use #DoNotDisturb
The real move is setting VIP status on the people and channels you actually need to hear from so the right alerts still get through while everything else waits.
Think: Your boss, your on-call rotation, your kids' school.
