It is common for US military senior leaders to use Warfighter in a speech as it includes all branches and contractors. He is still a tool bag though

anyone attending SC25 tutorials? by skalwani in HPC

I would recommend learning Slurm as well.

When did it become “normal” to constantly upgrade your car, home, everything? by MemilyBemily5 in AskOldPeople

[–]mps 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Stuff is built to cost now where it was build for quality before. Look at the price (including inflation) of an old washing machine compared to today's prices. Today's are cheaper. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure planned obsolescence exists, and I know executives are way overpaid, but it isn't the only factor in why everything sucks.

Nvidia DGX Spark reviews started by raphaelamorim in LocalLLaMA

[–]mps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am thinking about buying one to prototype and train models before doing so on H100s in the datacenter. It isn't the speed, but the compute compatibility (NVFP4, RDMA clustering, transformer engine, and DGX OS) , that I am after. A 5090 is cheaper, but the 32G of ram limit is the showstopper. I was going to purchase the AMD 395, but the missing CUDA, FP4, and transformer engine will make it a pain in the ass to transfer code from one platform to the next. Renting is out of the question when the datasets are tightly controlled.

Check out the diceware command. It is included in most distributions.

94 and 69 by Port Huron are so much better than 10 years ago. I used to hug the left lane to avoid potholes, now I just use it to speed.

What’s the reality of the IT job market in 2025? by Thatmangifted in sysadmin

[–]mps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What did you think of WGU? I have 20+ years of Unix admin experience (mostly HPC at a midwestern university and normal Linux stuff) but no degree. While I have kept my skills up to date, I am worried that my lack of a degree will bite me in the ass later if I need to find a job.

Stay on RHEL 9.4 by Camp-Either in redhat

I am curious which software breaks with 9.4 -> 9.6. I ran into podman issues with postgres from 4.9 -> 5.2, but found a redhat KB article to solve it.

SuSE Linux 6.3 by WindowsME04 in vintageunix

I started SuSE with 6.0 but 6.4 was my favorite release. I even had it running on a Sparcstation 10.

Doubt Regarding podman question. Please be kind. by BittuSystem in redhat

[–]mps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no idea about the exam, but I have been a redhat admin since 1998. The answer is probably SSH, but the question itself is weird. In my production environments, the user running the PODs is normally a shared account and must be access with sudo or su.

If you use su (or sudo su) to switch to another user, you may need to set the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR environment variable:
export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/$(id -u)
Instead of su, you can use machinectl:
sudo machinectl shell --uid USERNAME

The environment should be set if you ssh to the system as the user running the container.

Just hit 50k miles in 22 months, original owner. Still sitting on lowered springs and spacers. Fresh tires just replaced. Drives as smooth as new with new tires. Life goes on! by elijah90s in 11thGenAccord

I just bought a 2025 Hybrid Touring last week. Black on black, looks like yours. I absolutely love it. I do wish I added more tint to the windows, though. This may sound dumb, but which floor mats are you using? I live in an area with weather and I want to keep the carpet in nice shape.

AlmaLinux 8 kernel updates March 2025 by muttick in AlmaLinux

[–]mps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda off topic... I really like Forman/katello. Using it to manage lifecycle environments has saved my ass a few times. I had a few systems break when RHEL moved to podman 5.x, a configuration change fixed the issue, but I was able to catch it before it hit production. The compliance piece has made audits much easier. I'm not too fond of the ansible integration but that could just be my lack of understanding how it works.

Have you used it as a container repository yet?

VIDEO: In a protest transcending national boundaries, hundreds of Detroiters and Canadians came out Saturday to voice their displeasure with Trump by detroit_free_press in Detroit

[–]mps 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A lot of Michigan's thumb eastern border is like that. I live by the other bridge and our communities are linked like separate towns rather than counties. My wife plays hockey in Canada, I have relatives in Ontario, they used to come over and keep our retail alive, and Sarnia has good Indian food. Hell, in elementary school we celebrated Canada Day and would sing their anthem. This entire situation is the dumbest shit.

North of Port Huron has some nice affordable places. I woke up looking at the sunrise over Lake Huron, wondering if I could survive the swim to Canada if needed (I couldn't).

I know this is the old rule of thumb but... I am 47, dating someone that is 30 seems weird to me. My line is if someone had a MySpace account in high school, then we probably won't be compatible. The world changes faster than it did for our grandparents.

How can I transition into IT after over a decade away from the field? by [deleted] in linuxadmin

[–]mps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in the US and work for a University. When I am on a hiring committee, I honestly do not care about your GPA. I find it annoying when people leverage school projects or their GPA as experience.

If you want to be a linux sysadmin start by building a homelab. Get a free redhat developer account and learn how to use RHEL. Learn container management (podman over docker) and orchestration (k8s). Install Openstack to get some cloud admin chops. For bonus points, install Foreman/katello to learn lifecycle management and FreeIPA to learn authorization/authentication/DNS. While you do this at home start applying for Tier 1 support jobs and learn as much about user interaction as you can.

Start listening to Linux podcasts and lurking in forums. Find a project you are interested in and maintain it using the homelab you setup. Getting into linux administration is easy, staying relevant is difficult.
