Hello world? (Testing out my self hosted Postiz server!)
Nobody wants to explain to the security team why critical vulnerabilities shipped in a package. Fedora Hummingbird tries to make that a solved problem. New Fedora Podcast with @fatherlinux and Jorge Castro: youtu.be/HPpL1VwHtBs #Fedora #Linux #OpenSource #Hummingbird
#TechTipThursday: stop stashing every time a hotfix lands. git worktree add ../hotfix main Checks out main in its own folder, same repo. Fix the bug there, come back, feature branch untouched. Your stash was never meant to be a filing cabinet. #Git #DevOps #CLI
Started blocking 15 minutes after every customer call. Used to stack calls back to back, then reconstruct notes at 5pm. The offhand comment that was actually the whole deal? Gone. Now I write them while I still remember. Boring fix. #Productivity #PreSales
Best thing I ever learned to say on a customer call: I don’t know, let me find out. Spent years scared of that sentence. But a confident wrong answer is worse, because engineers can tell when you’re guessing. #PreSales #SolutionsArchitecture
Friday question: what was the first Linux distro you ever installed? Mine involved a burned CD, a weekend-long dial-up download, and four hours of fighting X11 for a graphical login I broke again immediately. Distro and roughly what year. Go. #Linux #OpenSource #SysAdmin
#TechTipThursday: let git find what broke it. git bisect start git bisect bad git bisect good abc1234 Test the commit it hands you, say good or bad, repeat. 200 commits takes about 8 rounds. Binary search doesn't care how long you put this off. #Git #DevOps #CLI
A video is a wall. You can't skim it, can't search it, can't tell from the thumbnail if it's worth your afternoon. That's why every episode gets a short companion post. Not a transcript. The spine, plus the moments worth showing up for. itguyeric.com/blog/videos-in… #ContentCreation
Monday: let's not deploy on Friday. Friday at 4:47pm: it's a one line change, what could possibly happen. #MemeMonday #DevOps #SysAdmin #Linux
Two weeks back at GitLab and my brain is full. That specific new job tired where you did nothing physical but you're wrecked by 5pm. Weekend plan: dice, a game I'm bad at, no Slack. What's your reset after a heavy week? #NewJob #WeekendPlans
#TechTipThursday: stop committing five unrelated things at once. git add -p Git walks the change hunk by hunk and asks about each one. y to stage, n to skip, s to split smaller. Two minutes, and your history stops reading like a diary. #Git #DevOps #CLI
@CubicleNate That sounds amazing, though, I am very anti-winter, haha!
Been a rough couple of years, and lately I've been daydreaming about relocating. Can't move for about a year, so this is the research phase. East Coast hours means geography's open: walkable, live events, minimal winter. Ever moved to start over? #Relocating #RemoteWork
Productivity tip that holds everything else together: the weekly review. Thirty minutes, same slot every week. What did I say I'd do and didn't? What actually matters next week? Every system drifts. This is what catches the drift. #Productivity #WorkSmarter

@saltnburnem Was there any part of it you enjoyed?
New post: the episode guide I build before every podcast recording. Recording is maybe a quarter of the work. One doc per episode: built before, updated during, mined after. That's what keeps me publishing without burning out. itguyeric.com/blog/my-podcas… #Podcasting #Podcast
