A small productivity trick that helps me:
I pick one “must win” task for the day. If everything explodes (which… IT), I still end the day with one meaningful win.
Momentum beats perfection.

Open source logic:
“This tool is free.”
“The documentation is free.”
“The community help is free.”
My weekend debugging it… not so free.

If you work in IT long enough, burnout eventually shows up at your door. I learned that lesson the hard way.
At #SCaLE I gave a talk called “From Bash to Burnout: Staying Sane in a 24/7 Tech World.”
I covered:
- Early warning signs of burnout
- Habits that quietly push us there
- Practical ways to protect your energy
IT should be a sustainable career, not a sprint.

Permissions should almost always be managed through groups, not individual users.

Groups scale. Individual exceptions create chaos. Design permissions like you design systems.

Tomorrow we’re breaking down one of the most confusing questions in #EnterpriseLinux:
When do you actually need a commercial Linux subscription?
We’ll cover:
• When Rocky Linux community support is enough
• When compliance & SLAs matter
• What RLC Pro actually includes

Join Brady Dibble, Director of Product Management, and Eric Hendricks, Technical Product Marketing Manager, as we explore CIQ's enterprise Linux offerings—and help you determine what level of vendor accountability your infrastructure actually requires.
One of the hardest questions in enterprise Linux isn’t which distro to use.
It’s knowing when you need:
- Community support
- Commercial support
- Security certifications
- Compliance guarantees
The right answer depends entirely on your environment. That nuance gets lost in a lot of internet debates.
I’ve decided I want to try to DM D&D without a computer.
Paper notes. Physical dice. Actual books.
- Less screen time.
- More imagination.
- Same chaos.
Any other DMs running analog-only?
Linux has solid built-in accessibility features:
On GNOME:
Settings → Accessibility
You’ll find:
- Screen reader (Orca)
- High contrast mode
- Zoom
- Large text scaling
Accessibility isn’t niche. It’s good engineering.
