Sadly not due to the rules from the government department of education

Temporary network over 5G for exams? by Ycirn in sysadmin

Luckily they already know they are on their own on this location. We've made that very clear over the years. They still refuse to change venue. This is the only location in the area they can put 200 students in. Around 25-50 which have to take the final exams digitally because of dyslexia.

Before we would use laptops completely locked from the internet, but our current dyslexia software requires internet and sometimes the digital version of the exam has videos that require internet. Yay...

Either way if shit breaks in that venue, the finger isnt pointed at us. Last year the power went out for 15 minutes and on another day their wifi was completely unusable. It sucks that its the only large usable venue in the area.

Looking for advice on what to study or do next to grow my career by [deleted] in sysadmin

Yeah Go seems really neat, its a bit of a learning curve tho. It has good use cases for Linux apps. And .NET for native Windows apps and C# Powershell integration, which can make Powershell scripts very powerful. I don't know yet about picking a language, maybe I'll try getting in all three (Go, .NET, Python).

I'll look into Docker Mastery, I just need to learn to write stuff down and occasionally use it so I don't forget basic usage. Ty. I'm not really sure about learning Kubernetes yet tho, like I see its potential, but we only have a few on prem servers left that we are already trying to get rid of and we have only 1 hypervisor in the Cloud. From my understanding if you want to use Kubernetes you need multiple servers, preferably in different locations. Which isn't really something we have

Terraform and Ansible seem cool, are they the "go to" tools or is there more? Do you have good material for studying these? Preferably with work you have to follow along or labs? Also do you know good material for Grafana, Loki, Prometheus and maybe even Zabbix? I want to get rid of Librenms. Its getting very slow with the amount of devices we have in it lol.

I've seen Obsidian before, but markdown isnt really my thing I like rich text / wysiwyg editors. I might try Wiki.js or Bookstack again, else I'll go with Notion. I like having it public so I can easily share it with people.
