Upgrade vs Reinstall - Lemmy.World
I’m a generalist SysAdmin. I use Linux when necessary or convenient. I find that
when I need to upgrade a specific solution it’s often easier to just spin up an
entirely new instance and start from scratch. Is this normal or am I doing it
wrong? For instance, this morning I’m looking at a Linux VM whose only task is
to run Acme.sh [http://Acme.sh] to update an SSL cert. I’m currently upgrading
the release. When this is done I’ll need to upgrade acme.sh [http://acme.sh]. I
expect some kind of failure that will require several hours to troubleshoot, at
which point I’ll give up and start from scratch. I’m wondering if this is my
ignorance of Linux or common practice?

Question regarding WSFC file server role networking - Lemmy.world
If I create a VM role, I can assign it’s networking to a VLAN, however I can’t
do the same to a file server role. Does anyone know if it’s somehow possible?

Drop Zones. A hack for not loosing things.

Drop Zones. A hack for not loosing things. - Lemmy.world
Designate a place in every room as, “the place I put things.” Use positive
reinforcement to train yourself to put things down in that space. Every time you
use a drop zone, give yourself an attaboy/girl. It needs to be big enough that
it can hold a few things, keys wallet, cell phone, but not so large that things
can get lost in it. You don’t want too many drop zones, but you need to have one
always handy. Keep them uncluttered when possible so that they’re always
available. Dissuade the people in your life from “cleaning up” these spaces.
Now, when you lose something, you’ve got a good chance of finding it by checking
all your drop zones.
I'm not Lazy or Apathetic - Lemmy.world
When I was a kid they told me, “If you care about something and work hard you’ll
succeed.” I failed, a lot, and so I figured, “I must be lazy and apathetic.”
Eventually I found my ikigai and success. I thought, “now I care and now I’m
working hard, I’m a different person, this is why I’m successful now.” I always
knew I had ADHD, but strangely nobody seemed to acknowledge it outright. My
parents just laughed when the neighbor called me space-cadet. I was diagnosed
with dysgraphia, which was all my mom wanted to talk about. Recently I’ve been
reading about ADHD and I came to a realization. I was never lazy or apathetic.
I’m not a different person now, I just found something where the bulk of my work
provides me the dopamine I need to stay engaged. I’ve also got some masking
strategies, which took me 30 years to develop because I had to do it on my own.
Nobody looks at a paraplegic and says, “boy are you lazy.” Please don’t let
other people define you. Don’t mistake your ADHD for a character flaw. Find your
ikigai [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikigai]. It won’t fix your ADHD, but it
will make you a whole lot happier. Ikigai: >A motivating force; something or
someone that gives a person a sense of purpose or a reason for living. The
feeling of accomplishment and fulfillment that follows when people pursue their
passions. Activities that generate the feeling of ikigai are not forced on an
individual; they are perceived as being spontaneous and undertaken willingly,
and thus are personal and depend on a person’s inner self.

Is RD Gateway hosted by Amazon secure enough? - Lemmy.world
My company is about to shift a large workload to a vendor that uses an RD
Gateway hosted at Amazon to serve access to the front-end application. It’s open
to the internet at 443. There’s no MFA. How worried should I be?
It’s a Saddleback Leather Indiana. It fits everything pictured here + a laptop charger, water bottle, and assorted random junk.

Wallet, leatherman, flashlight, knife, battery. If I’m not carrying a bag, I
usually don’t bring both knives or the battery.

What's to prevent someone from hijacking my username? - Lemmy.world
Since usernames are only unique to the instance it’s created on, what’s to stop
someone from creating a copycat username in order to impersonate another user?
