Can you guess what went wrong? ``` ping ec2.app-in-mum-49 ``` Here is what I get: PING ec2.app-in-mum-49 (23. xx. xxx .xxx) 56(84) bytes of data. From 10.204.35.30 (10.204.35.30) icmp_seq=6 Time to live exceeded From 10.204.35.30 (10.204.35.30) icmp_seq=6 Time to live exceeded .... ..

Your first website is going to suck. Your first blog post is going to suck. Your first video is going to suck. Your first app is going to suck. ... ..... . But if you keep trying 100 times, the 101st attempt will look like a work of Art. TL;DR: Your first attempts may not be perfect, but keep trying. Perseverance is key.

If Apple could bend the rules of physics, they would eliminate wires and ports from their devices forever. Maybe, they're waiting for Google or Samsung or ARM to violate the laws of physics, then claim it as their own invention. 😈🍎📱💻 🫣

> Which programming language you no longer use and why? My answer would be COBOL. It was a weird part of my life. It is over now. No, need to cry over it. LOL. What about you?

This is what IBM demands from open-source developers. Meanwhile, they cried about the RHEL source code and called those distro users freeloaders or parasites. Anyway, FLOSS devs don’t own anyone anything. If you need support, pay for the contract. The funny thing is IBM/RHEL said they need to pay for their devs, and when you take it free, it is hard to maintain enterprise distro, but when it comes to other FLOSS devs/projects, they don't think the same logic applies. LOL

No, it was not a joke. "Our paying customers need X, when will you fix it?" may not be the best way to introduce yourself to an open source project...

what was your last "how to..." search about #programming or #Linux or #Unix topics? 🤔🔍

Is it worth overpaying for extra RAM in laptops that cannot be upgraded later? 8GB? 16GB? 32GB? 64GB? 128GB? What are your bare minimum requirements these days?

How to find out AES-NI (Advanced Encryption) Enabled on Linux System https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-to-find-out-aes-ni-advanced-encryption-enabled-on-linux-system/

Classic 😂 at least you are free from the rat race 🥹 enjoy your freedom, mate.

The only file system I trust to keep my backups reliably is ZFS. Anything else is just gambling in my book. So when someone suggests Btrfs, my answer is always Noop, not under my watch. #linux #sysadmin #unix #zfs #freebsd

Here is how to kill a process or user by tty/pts name in Linux. First, list the tty: ``` w tty who ``` Then kill by its number and SIGKILL (non-graceful) or SIGTERM (graceful) as the root: ``` pkill -KILL -t tty1 pkill -TERM -t pts0 ``` For more info see https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/kill-process-user-by-tty-name-in-linux/

Is this for real?

Ode to Vim Oh, Vim, how you doth inspire, My fingers fly across the 'board, I type with speed and grace and fire, To code and write is all I've sought. Your commands they flow so well, I never need to reach for mouse, My cursor moves with ease and skill, No other editor can I choose. Your syntax highlighting is a dream, No more do I need to strain my eyes, The code it stands out in gleam, And all my thoughts are clear and wise. (1/2)

Many individuals are canceling their ChatGPT+ subscription and unsubscribing from the AI email newsletter. Could the initial excitement have faded? Perhaps people are feeling uninterested. Many had expectations of a coding revolution or other advancements with AI but encountered obstacles soon after. The novelty of new technology seems to be losing its effect over time. That is all. It is yet another tool to get job done. (1/n)

Free Mask For Everyone. Please Take One. I will take /24 CIDR. What about you? FYI, on Linux and Unix you can use ipcalc command as an IPv4 Netmask/broadcast/etc calculator https://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/perform-simple-manipulation-of-ip-addresse.html

systemd is a topic that still triggers warnings among Linux and Unix veterans. I made my peace because my job needed it. I moved on. In a few more years, they will replace systemd with something else, or systemd will become everything. Every binary will be just a symlink to /usr/bin/systemd (we already have such a situwation with busybox if you use minimal distro such as Alpine. I'm not saying Alpine is bad here. I love Alpine Linux). The irony of this prospect amuses me. What do you think?

onesome #linux #sysadmin at upper management meetings be like ...

sysadmin/dev life 😔

It looks like ChatGPT is down and causing errors such as request timeouts. Now you need to use this little thing called brain old good Google 😉
