People think the #Matrix was about robots. It wasn't. It was about operating systems.

#Windows is the blue pill.

You take it, and everything stays comfortable. Pretty icons. Friendly sounds. A setup wizard asking if you want to save your soul to the #cloud. Updates appear at the worst possible moment like a Marvel post-credit scene nobody asked for. Your #PC reboots. You cry. #Microsoft thanks you for improving your experience.

#Linux is the red pill.

You wake up. You see how deep the #RabbitHole goes.

At first, it is terrifying. The #terminal stares at you like Darth Vader asking if you know the power of the #CommandLine. You type one wrong character and feel like you accidentally launched nuclear missiles.

But then something changes. You realize your #computer actually belongs to you.

No ads in the Start Menu. No #AI assistant spying harder than a reality TV producer.

No mysterious background process eating half your #RAM like Pac-Man after three energy drinks.

You choose what gets installed. You choose when #updates happen. You choose what your #desktop looks like.

You are Neo.

Windows #users are still sitting in their pods, downloading the latest mandatory #update called KB-Whatever-Again, wondering why their printer suddenly speaks ancient Sumerian.

Linux is not perfect. Sometimes Wi-Fi drivers behave like a side quest in Dark Souls.

Sometimes you spend two hours fixing a problem just to feel smarter than everyone else.

But that is the point. The red pill was never about comfort. It was about #freedom.

And freedom means occasionally reading a forum post written by a Finnish guy in 2007 who solved your #problem and vanished forever like a #Jedi master.

Welcome to Linux. There is no spoon. Only #sudo.

Today I had a first: a completely unpracticed, but still successful #lightning #talk at #oSC26 :-)

Someone talked about replacing #sudo with #systemd's #run0, so I talked about a feature not implemented there, but used at many places after my various sudo talks: central session recording

took me some time, but..

I am consolidating my hosted servers and have to move some data.
* no shared storage
* data belongs root and I do not want to do this with this user.
* I use fido ssh keys, I have to touch the stick to verify.
* I can sudo on both servers

1. ssh-agent needs to run, agentforwarding enabled and the keys need to be loaded. (that's the more obvious part)
2. rsync parameter magic to pass authentication through sudo
