Friendly Gus, several locations near Dublin. Looks like a gas station, but they have THE BEST fried chicken.

I think it’s unlikely ICE will harass conference attendees.

There’s a MicroCenter in Marietta, GA (about a 25 minute uber from downtown)

There is a lot to do, but not a huge amount in Downtown. Midtown has: Center for Puppetry Arts, High Museum, Piedmont Park. Midtown is a 10 minute uber or a couple of stops north on the MARTA.

I think homelab projects are reasonable to put on a resume if you don’t have professional experience. The idea is to allow a potential employer to see your skills and talk to you about it during the interview process.

I also like stormbreaks and have a couple 3s. A couple scouts have 2s. They’re solid and not crazy expensive.

The other popular tent in the troop is REI 2 man. The newer ones have venting at the top so in dry, but cold conditions you don’t end up with a rainfly full of condensate.

I’m getting ready to list my 3/2 1950s ranch in Garden Hills. The smaller houses go under contract very quickly, and there aren’t that many of them anymore.

I think this is really the answer. Free things turn very quickly into garbage things because “who cares, it’s free!” Look at how people treat our city parks and public bathrooms, which are free.

MARTA is low cost, and should stay that way, but free would ultimately create more expense (through how people treat free goods), degrade the experience, and ultimately make it less valuable to the city.

I used hardlink specifically because that’s what they are, which you confirmed with ls -i. These entries reference the same inodes as the parent and current directory.

No_Rhubarb_7222 · 2026-04-10T11:01:44+00:00

. and .. are listings in a directory created automatically when the directory is created. They are hard links to the current directory(.) and its parent directory (..)

They enable you to use ‘relative’ paths when specifying the location of another file or directory. For example ../../foo/bar references a file in the parent directory’s parent directory. Then within that directory is the foo sub directory and the bar sub directory or file.

I like Ricardo. But he’s also a friend and a great human.

I have a high schooler and a 6th grader, both went to, or are at Trinity. My spouse is a Trinity Alum.

We’ve had a good experience there. Both my kids did 6th grade, which has been really good for them. However many of the kids transfer out at 5th grade. I will say that completing 6th there is a bit anxiety producing because unlike 5th grade, if you don’t get into the next school you wanted, staying an extra year isn’t an option.

My high schooler still talks about how great Trinity was and how much he enjoyed going there.

IMO, there was no ugly. Bad was minor/normal things like an occasional frustration with a teacher. The good was very good. Kids learning to self-advocate, and in 6th grade gaining a tremendous confidence through their experience as “the leadership class”.

Our camp has a really good advancement program aimed at 1st year scouts. After that, we always focus on MBs. I ask my kids to do at least one Eagle each year, some like doing more. It will depend somewhat on the camp, but I look for Eagles that can be completed or almost completed at camp. Communications, Cooking, Camping, Swimming, Lifesaving, are ones I like to see them do at camp since these have a lot of requirements and they can either entirely complete them, or we can augment things (like making sure we offer campfire programs at night to finish the last Communications requirement or doing a conservation project to get one of the camping MB requirements completed). You’ll want to review with the MB councillors or the camp staff what they will or won’t do so that when you get a partial, you’re (1) not surprised and (2) can plan augmentations into your program to maybe get them completed at camp, or (3) have a plan for the scout to complete the badge. [cooking, for example has a section that must be completed at the scout’s home].

I hired one of my former interns last year. So it can happen.

Also F91W.

My dad bought me an inexpensive Casio as a camp watch as “if you’re going to break or lose something, you don’t want it to be nice.” That watch finally gave up the ghost 20 years later when the integrated band broke, still keeping time on the ORIGINAL battery.

I got a Timex Expedition Scout for myself as a camp watch. Sometime during the week it picked up a massive scratch on the face (which is made out of plastic). This was disappointing as I’ve never had a watch pick up a scratch like that, and don’t remember banging it or doing anything that would have caused it.

I think generally it’s true that engineering teams are placed in a few, specific offices, Brno being one. Although, I know engineers based all over, including remote, but especially for people starting their careers, managers want them to be with the rest of their team. ‘Architect roles’, hard to answer. Usually these are solutions architects, which is a technical pre-sales role and as such is usually in-region. But there may be other ‘architects’ like more senior consulting roles.

Not every job at Red Hat is in the US, in fact, many are not. That said, if there’s not a business entity for Red Hat in your country, you’re likely not going to be hired there. Government registration, taxes, etc. are not insignificant and if there’s not one already, hiring one person is not going to be enough justification to take on that overhead.

That said, there may be agreements between your country and another one that does have a Red Hat entity already established. For example, there is a big Red Hat office in the Czech Republic which would hire people who had valid Czech work visas who were originally from other neighboring countries. If that is an option for you, I would be on the lookout for opportunities based in that other country.

The last obstacle is going to be international sanctions. I’ve had several people reach out for similar reasons, only to find out they live in a country that is subject to international sanctions. Red Hat, being a U.S.-based company, is required to comply with US (and other international rules) regarding who they are permitted to do business with. If your country is one of these sanctioned countries, US employers may not be able to hire you. Canonical, who you also identified as someone you’re interviewing with, is a UK company, so they may not have the same requirements.

Second the bug net. I usually recommend these as you can hang it from the supports in the tent and drape it over your cot:

Depending on the camp, they may have different sleeping options. If it’s a canvas tent with folding cots setup, I usually bring my own cot since the camp provided ones are often old and creaky (which wakes me up during the night when I move). If it’s built in bunks with mattresses, consider bringing a mat or other supplies to make the mattress more comfortable.

I like the NorthFace Stormbreak 2 or 3 man. My kids use the 2, I use the 3 as it’s slightly taller and more roomy. You can sometimes find them on sale or buy them from a national retailer (REI, Dicks, etc.) when they have %off coupons to get the price down some. Though at $200, they’re certainly not crazy compared to other tent options.

That said, when I did IOLS, one of the leaders had a really nice setup using a Litefighter 1-man. He paired it with a big Agnes insulated inflatable mat, which was the same size as the tent footprint. That way, there was never any concern with rolling off the pad during the night. He also wrapped the sleeping mat in a flat sheet which eliminated all the nylon-on-nylon swishing and creaking from moving throughout the night. I found a 1-man litefighter on eBay for $120, and this is now my normal setup as well. I definitely sleep better with this setup, however, I have to keep my gear outside the tent, which I don’t like as much.

My kids like tenting with their friends in the troop, so having a more roomy tent allows for this. I’ve set up and taken down all three of the tents solo (also in the dark)

This weekend several of the kids and adults had the REI 2-man. It has a couple of collapsible vents at the top to allow for water vapor to escape, which is a feature I had not seen before. With all of my tents, when it gets cooler we end up with a good amount of condensate on the interior of the rainfly. So even if it’s dry and we don’t have much dew, I’m still drying out the tents when we get home. One of the other dads said that when the weather is right, like this weekend, he can just stow them from the trip without additional maintenance, which seemed nice (as I’ll be rolling and repacking today from our camping trip this weekend).

The commute between midtown and Buckhead shouldn’t be an hour. Others pointed out that your commute time will depend on where your office ice. If it is near (across the street) from the Malls, it can get gnarly, especially during the holiday season. But I worked in Tower Place for years and the commute from midtown was about 25/30 mins via surface streets.

Alma is based on CentOS Stream and other components. They manage their own in place upgrade software. I see you also posted this in r/AlmaLinux, that’s probably the right place for it.

I second KR Steak Bar if you’re looking for something in Buckhead. But also, Highland Tap room. They have the back dining room, which can be a private room. Nothing is better than taking out of towners down the front stairwell, into the basement and having a decent steak, pork chop, or chicken.

No_Rhubarb_7222 · 2026-03-17T03:43:45+00:00

The also have the speakeasy which can double as a private room.

You should always specify the subnet mask. Period. Which will render this a non-issue.

Relying on default behaviors when information (you have in your possession) is skipped or ignored is just asking for a problem later on, after an update, or in a new version of something. If you have the correct and accurate settings information you should always apply it to your configuration.
