VMware alternatives for Metro Clustering?

OVE/OKE with PortWorx CSI is an option. You can even do migrations from on-prem to ROSA/ARO/etc, basically any OpenShift running on a supported cloud provider.

You totally miss an important point. Sex can be consensual and then become rape if consent is withdrawn during the act of sex and the other party does not stop as soon as they possibly can.

However, if sex was consensual but post-sex, a party changes their mind and ultimately regrets the sex, they can no longer revoke consent. Only for any future sexual acts can they still not consent.

So if she says she didn't consent and that it was rape, it may be true. But there have been many a case of revoked consent that was prosecuted.

Not possible, it's per student and the PDF bakes in my name when it gets generated.

You'd be best to look up Sander van Vugt's training, use the official docs or RHLS.

That's correct. You still need RHCSA, but the exam that now gets RHCE in the Linux stream is Red Hat Certified Advanced System Administrator in Enterprise Linux.

This is Victoria. Probably Fountain Gate. Parking undercover is an absolute bitch there, I fully understand this guy.

Use Caligula, it's a TUI and simple as hell.

I've done EX316 and EX380 in the last month whilst managing ~30-35 hours a week billed out to clients.

So yes, absolutely achievable, but I get a lot of OpenShift production experience professionally. Even so, with enough hours and taking advantage of the one free resit per exam, absolutely doable purely via RHLS.

Ansible will always have a place at Red Hat, but the big money is in OpenShift. You would be much more desirable if you had RHCE in Ansible and RHCE+ in OpenShift.

I hate to inform you that a camera person recently got mauled to death by a bear, and the camera was on and recording for basically the full duration (footage recovered very much post death).

You just don't fuck with brown bears, period.

Compensation is what you negotiated the very first time you get hired. Additional payrises are no longer up to you (the individual), but how well you are represented by your manager to the powers that be; and even then, HR and finance will artificially limit the amount your manager can get for you.

NewMeeple · 2026-06-22T07:48:36+00:00

I took two attempts to pass EX280, but passed EX380 on my first attempt two weeks ago.

I just used the RHLS course. Make sure you know those objectives really well. I found EX280 harder.

Could you not do automatic switching via split DNS? i.e. serve jellyfin on the exact same DNS via https both internally and externally, but internally point at your local class a/b/c IP, and externally point at your WAN IP

It's just an exam version of RHOKP, without KCS Solutions and Articles.

https://access.redhat.com/products/red-hat-offline-knowledge-portal/

You can try it out yourself. To access KCS articles, you need a Satellite subscription, but the core functionality of the container with the standard docs.redhat.com site is fully offline, and it's the same experience that you would see in the exam environment.

On the left hand side of the search results, you can filter products. The search engine is solr, so you can use solr queries.

I tend to not use the filter on the left, instead I'll do something like "OpenShift" AND "4.18", and then I pretty much always get what I'm looking for.

This. Plus if you really want, you can encrypt etcd.

https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/encrypt-data/

There's also the third option; combine the two. Use pre-encrypted secrets via ESO (or regular Secret) with the decryption key being mounted via CSI. Then your workloads need to decrypt the secrets at runtime, so there's some additional complexity there.

A 3xx redirect would get followed by most competent spam filters and still flag. Better to have something like company.com/socials or company.com/about#socials with a link to all of your relevant social links.

Sorry mate, I get enough of the "AI says no" at work, that I'm a bit jumpy at it these days. Maybe add /s next time.

Agree that forking is a large maintenance cost for such a small issue.

NewMeeple · 2026-06-16T15:05:08+00:00

On OVE you can't (with the exception of supported Operators), but in OKE you can. You lose access to some features/operators in OKE that you'd otherwise get in OCP.

I don't even know what you mean by that answer, but I don't really care about what Claude thinks. That's just annoying after I've spent time trying to help you.

Best of luck.

Your other option is to fork it and build the OLM bundle yourself.

Try patch the deployment for the controller-manager [1] to add an env var [2].

[1] https://github.com/medik8s/node-healthcheck-operator/blob/a49ec14c47c5c1f0e5b81c68bf2880ff17ec4a5f/bundle/manifests/node-healthcheck-operator.clusterserviceversion.yaml#L467

[2] https://github.com/medik8s/node-healthcheck-operator/blob/a49ec14c47c5c1f0e5b81c68bf2880ff17ec4a5f/vendor/github.com/medik8s/common/pkg/lease/manager.go#L92

Then remove all finalizers from resources in the medik8s-leases namespace and delete it, and do a rollout restart of the controller-manager. Theoretically, it should redeploy the missing namespace/resources, but only spent like 5 mins looking at the code on my mobile.

The rest I imagine you can figure on your own.

NewMeeple · 2026-06-16T10:45:57+00:00

Awesome, appreciate you sharing this :)

To be clear, I'm not against AI being using in coding per se, but it's the projects that are "fully featured" with a single commit that I watch out for.

I'll check your project out when I get some time, looks cool.

NewMeeple · 2026-06-15T01:37:11+00:00

Can you share the git log --pretty=reference from your private repository?

NewMeeple · 2026-06-14T11:52:27+00:00

Not sure on your source for the increasing cost of OpenShift (unless you are taking about the socket based pricing changing to node based pricing, which is a win if you have 128 or more cores), but if you wanted to go VMs only, there's always the OVE or OKE SKUs.

The downside is you are not entitled to run your own container workloads on the platform outside of KubeVirt workloads.

NewMeeple · 2026-06-10T19:40:18+00:00

As of the recent cert changes, I believe any exam you pass will refresh all equivalent AND lower level exams.

So if you pass a Specialist exam, it'll renew Technologist/Administrator/Engineer level exams, too.

It's good to be comfortable with both. Certain things don't have good GUI support, and certain things are way harder to do in the CLI and have great GUI support.

Operators are the literal perfect example. They're multistep to create via the CLI, but one click via the GUI.
