My online community gave me a load of shit for this but I think it's beautiful!

I'm using two jumphosts (the first over true ssl, the second to the Virtual Machine Host which hosts the VMs) The VMs are like you may can see on the hostnames my onllineservices I use on a everyday basis. The Hypervisor is a Proxmox which was converted from a standard Debian image provided my my VPS Provider. I actually have lots of RAM and CPU usage left and latley began to do a Udemy course about Ansible to automate my environment.

But quick shell access with dynamic jumphosts and hostlists are always a good plan, especially if you're doing it in xpanes which can fokus single panes, move and maximize them to issue individual commands in case something goes wrong.

​

I Love my setup so far, but my journey is far from beeing over, actually the more I get into the advantages of Linux the more I get motivated

The so called "fragmentation isssue" in the GNU/Linux community is actually protecting us! Most probably some backdoors or malware will only affect a certain group of people that use a certain mix of software (DE, compositor, init system etc.) and not the others.

why to use exec command?

I was going through exec command. The function of exec command is to replace the current shell process with command supplied as arguments.

But I was wondering why would anyone want to do that?

Realtek RTL8822BE under Linux

Just wanted to share that if anyone is having problems with this wifi device, Linux 5.2 includes the new rtw88 module that, in my experience, make it work perfectly.

My speedtest results went from 0.3/2.0 Mbit/s download/upload, to 80/70 Mbit/s.

Hope this helps someone Googling for this problem :)

Help with External Portable Hard Drive for Linux/Windows

I plan on using a WD 4TB Portable External HD. This would just hold files such as movies, documents, etc.

1. Should I use a particular file system? I plan on using NTFS for compatibility between Linux/Windows. What allocation unit size, etc?
2. Does it matter how I format it? Could I just right click it in Windows and use those options? Or should I use Gparted? What's the difference?

A personal story of courage, risk and Linux

Some time during 2017, working for a company (I don't want to mention the name), the company I was working for had a rule: not to contribute to open source.

As many people in my circle know me, I don't usually accept such rules.

During my day-to-day work I hit a Linux kernel bug (that affected my work machine), and I used that as a opportunity to fix the bug and contribute back.

I knew I was in front of a unique and risky situation, I also knew I would not stay at this company for a long time, so I took the risk and helped fix the bug.

I did this in my lunch breaks and after work hours (debugging and testing patches), until the bug was found and fixed, a couple of months later I was fired and the experience was one that gave me PTSD, but that one bug I helped fix still brings me joy and satisfaction that I will never forget.

Happy birthday Linux and thank you for allowing me to be part of your history!
