I'm just a FOSS loving Sysadmin Nerd that enjoys learning

Okay I am checking out 1passwords environments beta feature for their cli tool and so far I like it.

Its simple to implement and works with the godotenv library. Plus no more accidentally pushing up stored secrets in the env!

The fact that 80% of traffic is blocked on my network due to it being ad/tracking/analytics traffic is absurd.

Screen time is a big point of contention amongst parents.

I think instead of worrying about the amount of time on a screen we should be more concerned with what they are watching or doing on those screens.

Example, my kid said he was bored so we setup a "digital art station" for him using a raspberry pi 4 and my digital drawing tablet.

He's now learning how to draw with the tablet and see the results on the monitor and learning the keyboard and UI.

Welp you know what helps? Making sure you have a variable set that you need.

Alright I am perplexed as to how this is possible so any insight or advice is appreciated.

I just added flag parsing to my #bash script to tell it where to look for specific files. Well now those files it's looking for that it created can't be opened due to permission denied. If I remove the flag parsing function then the files can be opened through my script again.

The script is running under my UID and the files are owned by my account with RW enabled (just need read and write).

Finally wrapping my head around #awk syntax and how a "record" and "field" are defined when parsed.

Switching to #vim as my text editor has made scripting/programming fun again.

I'm no longer fighting my editor like I was with VSCode or Jetbrains IDEs and I'm making changes faster than previously.

A desk treadmill + a adjustable standing desk = best concentration method I've ever had. I can actually focus on work or studying while I walk especially when compared against trying to force myself to focus.

- Start working on a React project as a new dev
- Its the main repo with multiple apps - very large
- If I dont pull frequently enough, get merge conflicts
- If I pull too often, get broken imports and linting errors... In files that have nothing to do with the changes I've made.

I hate #React and #nodejs

Switching from IT to Software Development has daunting.

I always dealt with imposter syndrome when I was a sysadmin but after a few days in my new role I can say I haven't experienced imposter syndrome this intense since I first started in IT.

To prevent myself from spiraling I keep repeating the words my mentor told me, "How do you eat an Elephant? One bite at a time".
