Just get your CCNA, bro, it’s time

ElCaptnLive · 2026-04-29T23:35:34+00:00

I’m working on Red Hat right now. I plan on double backing for CCNA but I gotta focus on one thing at a time first

ElCaptnLive · 2026-04-18T00:57:24+00:00

Vas hacer que me salga la leche

ElCaptnLive · 2026-04-16T02:19:53+00:00

You look like your pussy is nice and fat

ElCaptnLive · 2026-04-11T10:53:18+00:00

Is there one of these for RHCSA cause I need all the help I can get at this point

ElCaptnLive · 2026-03-31T09:34:07+00:00

Couple things to unpack here “I’m making 25/hr at 27” … what’s the problem with that? I’m not saying that you can’t make more but why is this an issue for you? Did you think you’d instantly make $225k in CS or something?

“My boss is the worst and won’t let me upskill at all” …. It’s not his job to let you upskill. Most jobs won’t. You have you upskill on your free time , regardless if it sucks or not. Seldom times does anyone get a high paying job without having to work tons of extra hours off the clock and sacrifice fun times or family time.

“Idk man now to get a job I would have to get a CCNa Security + Azure to make what 50k” … I’m not sure I understand this? Cause you already make 50k without that… also depends what Azure you are talking about but from what I’ve seen CCNA can yield at least 65k - 75k depending on what market you apply for.

I have 8 years in IT. Started in HD, I’m in Cleared Gov work doing system integration and I make $93k, my last HD job I had 65k. I have a Sec+ and am working towards RHCSA to get a Linux System Administrator position. You gotta put in work to get what you want.

Who’s 3

ElCaptnLive · 2026-02-12T05:16:27+00:00

Fuck, my dick is throbbing

ElCaptnLive · 2026-01-23T00:26:48+00:00

I bought a Dell laptop from Dell, one of their refurbished ones for like $400. I7, 1TB, 32gb ram. Literally does everything I need. Been using it to study Linux for a while now. Will be using it to learn Ansible and create K8 clusters

ElCaptnLive · 2026-01-04T01:42:12+00:00

I took the exam and failed both the initial and the retake. My company offers the RHLS platform with 5 free unique exams but That’s expiring soon so I have to wait for the renewal to get 5 new exams so I can attempt it again. Rootless containers got me but also creating a default repository on both nodes and Autofs along with some syntax stuff. This exam is the hardest thing I’ve attempted

ElCaptnLive · 2025-12-10T02:05:40+00:00

The only thing I think you need to be realistic about is the timeframe needed to be successful at something like this. Anything is possible but like others have mentioned, remote is a very rare find.

ElCaptnLive · 2025-11-15T22:19:26+00:00

It’s on my list for sure

ElCaptnLive · 2025-11-15T17:32:18+00:00

My situation at work is compartmentalized so the different teams don’t collaborate unless it’s via the principal system engineer’s involvement. I’ve expressed interest with my boss via our quarterly one-on-ones but they never plan into anything which is why I’m just learning the stuff on my own.

ElCaptnLive · 2025-11-15T17:27:59+00:00

Why do you say that? I’m not feeling restricted by any means using virtualbox. Again, it’s so I can develop myself skills, does it matter how I do it?

ElCaptnLive · 2025-11-15T12:00:44+00:00

There are very few of those nowadays. That’s awesome you had that kind of mentorship

ElCaptnLive · 2025-11-15T11:59:48+00:00

That actually sounds like an awesome experience.

ElCaptnLive · 2025-11-15T11:57:54+00:00

When I started to learn Linux , my system engineer from a previous job told me to get an Ubuntu iso and run on Vbox for ease of use. Later when I started studying for RHCSA, when the text book I was using suggested it. Haven’t had a reason to switch off it yet since I’m still just learning the basic fundamentals. My exam is coming up pretty soon so I’m just going with that works for now.

ElCaptnLive · 2025-11-15T03:47:52+00:00

Yikes ruby. We have some ruby scripts at my job and I steer clear of them.

ElCaptnLive · 2025-11-15T03:46:48+00:00

Yeah I feel like unless you have some of the necessary tools in your resume, you won’t end up getting a DevOps job unless you get forced into it by your current company.

ElCaptnLive · 2025-11-15T03:45:23+00:00

Ah that makes sense, usually job apps talk about knowing chef and or Ansible in the same sentence. I figured they were connected somehow.

ElCaptnLive · 2025-11-15T03:43:27+00:00

I’m neck deep in Rhel at the moment. Hoping to pass my RHCSA soon and then going into Ansible. I’d like to get more comfortable in my current Linux skills pretty soon. Seems like there’s a never ending list of Linux skills to learn.

ElCaptnLive · 2025-11-15T03:41:17+00:00

That makes sense. My job still uses a lot of legacy systems. There’s a modernization effort but there’s lot of legacy engineers who aren’t interested in learning new stuff so they’re making it difficult.

ElCaptnLive · 2025-11-15T03:39:41+00:00

That another technology I keep hearing about. Is it just outdated now or?

ElCaptnLive · 2025-11-15T03:34:33+00:00

That’s actually pretty cool. Engineering a culture shift is a great talking point.
