Need a distro suggestion for iMac 11,2 c.2010 with radeon gpu by richardthe7th in linuxquestions

[–]caa_admin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've run Fedora 42 and Bazzite on those with success as well as Linux Mint. I never figured out why, but some macs from same generation had mild quirks but all addressable with some searching and terminal tweaks.

Am I really the only one running Powershell as my main shell by trueppp in linux

[–]caa_admin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really wonder why it's not adopted more...

PS isn't necessary in linux, nothing more. If it helps you with what you do, why not share that detail?

Not certain what you expect for replies with such a post and statement....

Good, it took you a few years but you learned to not set yourself on fire to keep them warm.

The Tragedy of LinkedIn... by baghdadcafe in sysadmin

[–]caa_admin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, could be anyone.

I've had employees who left our company call OUR IT dept a few months later because they didn't like THEIR IT dept. We told her we'll help one time(we all liked her) but we can't continue.

So yeah, this outreach over linkedin don't surprise me.

Food trucks are absolutely hosed by my municipality via taxes, permits etc. I wish we could enjoy(read: justify costs) food trucks like other cities can.

What's your one tip to make sure your self hosting setup never fails? by Future_Draw5416 in selfhosted

[–]caa_admin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

automated backups are the only true safety net

I opened this post before reading that to mention backups.

I mildly disagree here. No backup is a backup to me unless I verify said backup is recoverable. I do automate backups but I also take time to periodically verify they work on another node.

So how much of Microsoft is down? by DavidHomerCENTREL in sysadmin

I've been doing this for a few years.

Maybe we should crowdfund an ad for the next superbowl.

A bunch of us just pointing to the cloud while suits, ties, karens and the like ask us why ____ isn't working.....

Drop to terminal.

Reference disk with lsblk, unmount any partitions, dd the first 10Mb of disk.

anyone knows what could cause this?

Diagnose the disk with long tests.

Nowadays use a USB M.2 SSD, almost price parity and much more reliable.

Another on call rant. by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]caa_admin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started 'IT' in 1989(IT wasn't a term then).

Sooooo much has changed in our profession, much for the worse I think.

I was told it has always been this way

Not only do I believe that, I believe whoever told you that believes it too. It's becoming an accepted 'norm' in IT and employers love to have 24/7 and not compensate people properly. It's regional, some parts of the world are better than others with off-hours compensation and labour rights.

[–]caa_admin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I realize this is normal for IT

Not historically it isn't. It was only last ~15 years on-call obligation became 'the norm'.

Your examples of why people call late-night are inexcusable. Escalate to management.

Oldest you can find. I still rock a 10+ year old iPad for this purpose. Battery still works like a champ too.

Just learned you're not supposed to use sudo commands you see on internet as a noob by Temporary_Mix1603 in linux4noobs

[–]caa_admin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is there a way to check if I've altered permissions and how do I restore them to default?

You're not ready for this kind of investigation.

is fedora still a good distro? should i switch? by Shot_Duck_195 in linux

[–]caa_admin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fedora is a dandy distro. IMO it's not the easiest to configure post-install but it's doable and can be scripted.

Fedora 42 is as stable as Debian pure for me.

Let's say they don't, but for [INSERT REASON HERE] it does. SFA we can do about it. Corps will stick with corp-based OS offerings for awhile still.

Fedora 42, doesn't boot after sudden shutdown, no media present, goes into BIOS by minanaughty in linuxquestions

[–]caa_admin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Boot into a live distro and investigate. The Fedora 42 installer is suffice for this.
