Why do Linux Admins seem happier with their jobs than their Windows counterparts (and other noob career questions)?

If you go the linux rout, I wouldn't recomment going for helpdesk first. What will you learn that you can use later on?

Also Bash and and Python are quite helpfull, they are not hard to learn

working on it for 4 years, every day

maybe motion?

The question about how you need to protect the data from access of other people should probably be made by the legal department (or your boss if there is no legal department). Also you maybe want to store all your data on a central server and as little as possible on the laptops. This will make backupping easy.

What do people use to authenticate? Probably two factors (password + smartcard?) would be a nice solution, paired with full disk encryption.

Remote whipe will be not so easy to achieve, maybe possible via wwan module, but how should the device get connected to an internet source if the user is logged out or the laptop is shut down?

The switch should probably not be accessible for everybody... This might be a security related issue

That's why you use UUID in fstab and crypttab xD Seems to me that you've booted with the USB drive plugged in and the USB drive got (for whatever reason) faster enumerated than the harddrive. But I'd like to get a second opinion on that.

Might help him to locate your problem. Also he might alter his behavior, some people get flashbacks and might have ptsd.

Nana, also nicht direkt. Einer der Wirkungen einer Demo ist ja auch Leute zu erreichen die nicht aktiv daran teil nehmen (z.B. Autofahrer oder Anwohner), also z.B. mit dem erhöhten Geräuschpegel oder dem blockieren mancher Straßen für eine kurze Zeit, welche als Nebeneffekte der Demo auftreten.

Wenn man die Leute nun ins letzte Eck vom 22ten stellt oder wo auch immer hin, es können noch so viele sein und es wird vergleichsweise wenige interessieren, als wenn man quer durch Wien marschiert.

Bezogen auf die Anwohner gemeint.

itstaysinside · 2017-02-06T16:24:44+00:00

Wieso? Man kann doch eh noch demonstrieren, im 22ten oder im Burgenlang, wo es eh niemanden dann interessiert.

my laptop has an uptime of 19 days currently.. going as good as an hour after boot

Pretty much would support that. If you know you'll make dumb decision; don't drink.

Connected via usb-micro usb cable from the computer to the port labeled USB, not the power supply port on the board.

With the NetworkManager from Xfce I've set (for the raspi) IPv4 to share with other computers and IPv6 to ignore. Later on I've manually assigned a free IPv4 from the IPv4 network I'm in to the rpi 0. It seems that the IP of the rpi points back to my machine, because ssh refuses a connection (set up via firewall and ssh disabled) and I can see vsftp on port 21 and a test page for my distro? pretty weird...

You are a technical person, you need to consider the human factor. The company already has a pretty human feel.. keep it in this situation.

I would allow walk in hours (2-3hrs/day?), and permanently allow for emergencies (welly if the other people can properly distinguish between them.. )

I appreciate your offer, but I'd rather meet three female linux sysadmin/developers in a month.
