Question for the audience:
Yesterday I mentioned rebuilding my #homelab on upstream #Linux distros for #container workloads. Now I'm trying to decide between two solid options: #bootc or #Fedora CoreOS.
Both have their strengths. I'm curious where you land and why.
Which would you choose?
#SysAdmin #FedoraCoreOS #OpenSource
No agenda this weekend. No tasks. No to-do list. Just some intentional downtime and whatever sounds good in the moment. Sometimes that's the most productive thing you can do.
Homelab update: time to move on from downstream clones!
Shifting all my workloads over to CentOS Stream with Podman. Living closer to upstream, containerizing everything, and probably breaking things in new and interesting ways.
Or maybe I go absolutely nuts and go all the way up to #Fedora!

Today is my last day as #DevRel at #CIQ. Grateful for the time in the Rocky Linux ecosystem and the team I got to work with.
Once again #opentowork looking for my next TPMM or #DevRel role in open source/Linux/enterprise infra.
Know someone? I'd appreciate the intro.

Package management is one of those things every Linux admin should know cold.
Search for a package:
dnf search packagename
Install it:
dnf install packagename
Check what's installed:
rpm -qa | grep packagename
Remove it cleanly:
dnf remove packagename
Your package manager is your best friend. Treat it accordingly.

Your job is not your identity.
It's easy to forget that, especially when you're in the middle of a job search and every rejection feels personal. It isn't. It's a process, and processes are impersonal by nature.
You are not your title. You are not your employer. You are not your LinkedIn headline.
Protect that. The right opportunity will find someone who knows who they are regardless of what their badge says.
