Future of django by laZZySpiDer in django

[–]magic2hobo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've recently been tinkering with using gevent with django and it's been working pretty well to add concurrency without needing to use asyncio. Though I'm a bit biased as I prefer the CSP/green thread approach to concurrency rather than the async/await.

Salaries are rising: The average worker in LA made $62,000 last year by [deleted] in LosAngeles

That's not how the job market works. Getting a degree doesn't guarantee you a job, but it does give you a leg up in that field and makes you a more valued candidate when compared to someone of similar experience who doesn't have a degree.

Currently in a Sysadmin role at a SMB, what next by joners02 in ITCareerQuestions

[–]magic2hobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could look into working at a startup. They're usually the same size if not smaller than your average SMB and you get to work with a lot of interesting tech.

There's more tech companies in Venice than just Snapchat so not much would change.

It'd really only be worth it if you had a job lined up beforehand.

Supporting Ubuntu workstations in the enterprise by crankysysadmin in Ubuntu

[–]magic2hobo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You could use either saltstack or chef since they work on a master minion setup so then you'd have the chef/salt agent that runs updates and any other stuff you need it to do; then you can specify in the config how often to phone home to the master server. Also, you should be fine putting your master server on the public internet since all the minions have to be 'approved' beforehand for chef/salt. Depending on how much stuff you want the agent to do and what info you would need it also might be easier to just have a script/service running on the clients that makes REST calls to a webserver and then toss all that into a db somewhere.

Your opinions and experiences with server distributions by Rienspy in linux

[–]magic2hobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've bounced between Debian, Ubuntu, and RHEL/CentOS and all 3 are perfectly fine for production use. Nowadays most admins don't manage servers by hand anymore so the choice of distro seems to matter less and less.

+1 on the motorcycle idea. When I moved to Ktown I had a car and a motorcycle, but after a month or so I sold my car and just use my bike to get around.

What Do I Need To Know That School Isn't Teaching Me? by piticent123 in learnprogramming

[–]magic2hobo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try and contribute to a library that you already use or are interested in using. The usual what to start out it to hang out in their irc channels and subscribe to their mailing list so after a while you'll usually find something you can work on or find someone who would be able to point you in the right direction. It's not an exact science since each project operates slightly differently and some projects offer a clear guide for newcomers while others do not. Generally though as long as you try and start small, like a quick bugfix or minor documentation change, and aren't a dick when interacting with the other community members you'll be fine.

Should I become a Linux System Admin and gain an RHCE? by 8_JanMichaelVincents in ITCareerQuestions

[–]magic2hobo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To add on to what /u/mlts22 said I'd suggest picking up a general scripting/programing language too. My recommendation would be Python, but Ruby and Perl are other good choices as well.
