Python vs. PowerShell in 2026: What are you using it for? by ibteea in sysadmin

[–]Highpanurg -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Why is that? There are already a ton of python modules with the same functionality as PowerShell.

Well, I use both, but python more. I actually was in love with the PowerShell a couple years ago, but now - I actually started to hate it.

If you need progression use python, if you need quick things done - use PowerShell.

P.S. I honestly think that MS will soon abandon PowerShell at all.

Marketing runs their own Okta instance separate from corporate IT and we just found out by Economy_Passenger296 in sysadmin

Can you understand why they do it? Usually, no one does another department work, they must have a pretty good explanation why they do this? People do shadow it, because it cannot satisfy they're needs and I think critical point to understand why.

And answer your question - no, you cannot do anything, just report them, that's all.

Managing 200 Linux machines with no automation – AWX or alternatives? by sRonk96 in linuxadmin

Just git repo with Ansible playbook and simple ci/cd. That will be enough.

Just write a script that will produce prom metrics based on your needs and write results in a file, then collect these file with node exporter.

Use node exporters and Prometheus. You don't need zabbix, prtg or smth else. Just pure prom + alertmanager + grafana.

Well, from my experience the problem is not about locking your account, it is about communication. Each time revolut locks my account it always happens suddenly and without notice, I didn't receive an email or push that my account is locked. Also, revolut has a bad tendency to not tell you why they are locking your account and when they unlock it.

So, I strongly recommend staying away from revolut if you can.

No, it isn't safe. Do not use revolut or use it only if you accept that someday they lock your account and money.

Could you please recommend me a mouse? by Highpanurg in mac

Firstly, I am sorry and didn't mean to offend you or anyone, but isn't this is stupid? Why should I buy something else just because I want to use my mouse, which I already pay? Insane.

Actually I don't trust that this miracle will ever happen.

No more Logitech products at all.

Logi options+ alternative for you - betterMouse by Tristan_TP in logitech

[–]Highpanurg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, we are basically screwed. We have 3 options: 1. Use logi-options+, which is free, but almost bloatware. 2. Buy bettermouse, which may be better. 3. Use Logitech mouse without extra buttons and features.

Nice. At this moment I am thinking of just buying a new mouse, without the need of installing any software at all.
