I use a Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 9 system as a cloud based development workstation.

The system is running on Proxmox VE and is running Apache Guacamole (guacamole.apache.org) as a clientless HTML5 remote access gateway.

I can simply access the system from any HTML5 capable web-browser and have my desktop with all the tools, I need to do some work.

(Of course, for security reasons, this is behind a strong MFA authentication)

#bash has a bunch of built-in shortcuts and key commands that help you get around the #linux command line. Some may be a little antiquated , but others are REALLY useful.

Today, on Into the Terminal, we're going to show you some of these shortcuts, come join us! Maybe you'll learn something new! We'll be live in a bout 20 minutes!

Continued thread

This morning, I asked my project-mate (who's been asked to do the similar certification-path that I've been asked to do):

Have you yet gotten back a detailing of your test results (e.g., how AWS breaks down test questions into domains and how you scored on each domain)?
He'd replied back that there was a blurb on his (administered at home) test's exits screens indicating that you only get such a breakdown if you fail your test. I was a touch incredulous. I mean maybe that makes a degree of sense if the certification-test you just sat was a "there's no more in-depth, overlapping certifications after this one" (e.g., #AWS's "Practitioner" → "Associate" → "Professional" or "Specialist" certification paths; I know #RedHat has/had similar and I think #Azure does as well). However, if it is a certification that overlaps with other ones, you probably want to know if you have any knowledge-gaps before trying to sit those other exams, neh?

…Or, if you're a perfectionist like me, you simply want to know what gaps you have so that you can kill them (especially for a cert that will eventually expire and you'll need to re-sit).

Thus far, everything about the
#GCP certification process has left me frustrated and bewildered by how half-assed Google's approach has seemed to both the exams, themselves, and the processes around getting ready for said exams.

#WTF

I've been using Fedora 42 KDE edition since it's gotten into beta on March 18 and it's a breeze! Rock solid, zero problems so far and amazing and up to date software.

Linux Kernel 6.14 :linux:
KDE Plasma 6.3 :kde:
MESA graphics library 25.0.3
fish shell version 4.0.1 🐠
Podman 5.4 :podman:
Gimp 3.0

It's awesome to use and performance on both my primary machines (A Lenovo ThinkPad T480 and a Lenovo ThinkPad T14s gen4 AMD) is just perfect.

Will probably stay on 42 for ~1-2 months before things get overly boring and I update to Rawhide again 🙂

Also running a RHEL10 beta (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) container via Podman and Distrobox.

Well, it certainly seems like #redhat has gone down the Embrace, Extend, Extinguish path with #freeipa.

Wanted to try to add a plugin to their docker image. Turns out in the process of building their docker image they break it entirely and have the setup.sh script fix it again so the only way to extend it would be to do something unholy with systemd or patch the setup.sh script in the dockerfile.

Fine, have it your way, I'll just install it on a raw Alma VM. Now, how do we get #letsencrypt working?

Oh, there's a howto. Cool.

Oh, it doesn't work.

Well, the howto references a script in a github repo. Maybe that'll work?

It gets farther, but it still errors out because apparently they're manually downloading the letsencrypt CAs and adding them to FreeIPA, rather than pulling them from the system ca store.

And aside from a github issue or two, all the documentation on this is hidden behind #redhat's paywall.

Swear to dog, I'm'a fire the next person who buys IBM.
