A number of people asked about the mini 10" rack I used in my last video, so here's a quick 3rd channel video where I go through it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8-cdA50bpU (thanks to DeskPi for sending it!)
I wanted a channel where I can put little 'extra' videos that I know won't perform up to YouTube-algorithm-happy standards, but I still think are useful and interesting!
Preconfigured scrub cron job led me to check my calendar—which indicates the next automated scrubbing will be on May 12. That's Mother's Day! Forgot that was next month.
There is a positive ideal that says 'bad things happen so greater good may result'.
Well, after Red Hat killed CentOS, that directly resulted in open sourcing Ansible for DevOps, which has to date led to at least 37,444 more people having the opportunity to learn Ansible than would've before.
That's $347,065 of value created in response to a single bad decision ;)
@garpu Honestly the test isn't as required for many jobs as you'd think. Real world experience building infra is required, I like to use Ansible on little things a lot, so I got familiar with basics (inventory, ad-hoc, playbooks).
Love or hate it, the Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh is a bold computer with a fascinating story.
To celebrate my 1st birthday, I take a deeper look my 1st video subject. I wrote a love-letter to the machine I couldn't afford for 25 years, and then attempt to (mostly) restore it.
There's a new SBC cluster king: The Turing RK1 is 2x faster than Pi 5, 5x faster than Pi 4, and I test four of them in a new 10" mini rack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6zt8KeXFdA
"...it's totally different when you build your product under an open source license, foster a community of users who then build their own businesses on top of that software, then yoink the license when your revenue is affected.
@fredposner@davidbisset later in the post: "People asked what Red Hat could do to get me interested in Enterprise Linux again. It's simple: stop treating people who don't bring revenue to the table like garbage. Freeloaders are part of open source—whether they're running homelab or a competing business."
@libreuser@RL_Dane I don't really promote proprietary software, it's more of a statement that if you don't care about free / open source software, don't put up a facade (to companies that do the rugpull). Just be honest and say you don't wish the participate in those movements at all instead of leading people on.
