not bad up until the asterisk advice... this is the kind of shit that falls on IT at smaller companies, and it is universally hated. not the kind of work many people aspire to doing.
probably the best response in the whole thread. OP displays some naivete if he thinks he can just go into freelancing out of HS, ffs i'm in the same position as you pretty much just at 15 instead of 20... fuckin took me at least ten before i could find my ass with both hands. Even then I would say until I reached about 8 of professional experience (meaning getting paid) could I freelance... but freelancing sucks so fuck that.
The spirit of your advice is sort of on the right track, but... LPIC isn't really widely known like RH certs are. Also, RH certs are more admirable since they are practical only, no multiple choice. I have both LPIC1 and 2, never really helped me, just went and got it to see if I could. Lastly, please don't advocate Perl usage. We have more modern languages with real OOP at this point that are easier to maintain and easier to use. You're right though, if you can't code in at least one language at an acceptable level, you're not getting the job if it's more than a junior position or the hiring person is mildly retarded.
I suggest download the Minix source and using the git portal for the OpenBSD source: git://git.freebsd.your.org/openbsd
You can learn a lot from looking at simple tools like ls, and then looking at system libraries as well. And yes, I know it's not C++.
no, it likely has more to do with compute power, or possibly instant using a separate hash for searching than the regular search. Typical arm flailing about how evil google is.
No shit, I wish more people would see that the added complexities of virtualization sometimes outweigh the advantages, especially in resource-intensive apps that have never been tested in virtualization.
Most places using it use it for site-to-site VPN, routers, firewalls, etc, so A. only people from significant sites probably know the answer and B. it's not really what it's known for being great at.
ah, that's super easy, have you ever even tried to read the docs? If 10.0.0.1 is a gateway that people are nat'd behind, something like
block in from 10.0.0.1 to 192.168.0.0/24
in pf.conf, done. pfctl -n -f/etc/pf.conf to check that the grammar is correct, and pfctl -F rules -f/etc/pf.conf to reload the rules. If you mean you need to set up the openbsd box to *do* nating it's still pretty simple. All it takes is a quick look at the PF documentation.
Funny, my salary more than doubled the day I quit pursuing that worthless piece of paper. Unless you want to get into hardcore computer SCIENCE stuff, and I mean like algorithmically complex shit or research, or you never actually had the hobby of electronics/computing as a child, a CS degree is largely worthless. You'll have a piece of paper that thousands of other talentless code monkeys have.
Good to see another puppeteer, I feel like the software does not get enough recognition for how utterly amazing it is. It's still relatively obscure to the sysadmin mainstream. Maybe that has something to do with cfengine's foothold.
I love puppet, a lot, but 40k is a bit of a high number for it. That's probably all cfengine's got going for it at this point, scalability. I think 5000 is the highest I've heard so far for puppet, and that's done at teh Google. Once puppet matures a bit more cfengine will be deprecated. For small shops, it already is.
rofl, no shit... moon was a hack. I haven't played in years but every drummer i knew usually made fun of keith moon for sounding like a drunken ape. My favorite modern drummer is probably adam deitch. That's just cause I like funk and jazz, but if you're interested, check out N'Yack off "Live in Tokyo" by Lettuce. Not only is the drum track superb, but every other track is sick, and it's live.
Everytime you look at the ok> prompt on SPARC systems, you're looking at a FORTH interpreter. So it's like a graphing calculator on steroids.... on the incredible hulk.
I read the whole thread, and realized that sounded far too douchebaggish the way I opened up. I think the spirit of the whole thread is in accordance: start on BSD and it will probably work everywhere, will take longer (devel time) and might look like shit due to 'standard' gnu functionality missing, but start on Linux and it will be a lot easier, quicker (devel time), and read better, but might shit itself on something more unixy...
I award myself one internet for the greatest run-on sentence on all of slashdot that isn't a troll.
UHMMM you're contradicting yourself dude. "Most compatible Nix clone" with what, itself? That's not compatibility. That's Microsoft-style compatibility. And yea if you write something on Linux it probably shits itself on Solaris, that's because Linux and GNU in general hold your hand and make your life easier. People take simple stuff like grep -q for granted... I choose Linux specifically for this reason, and yes I love it too dude but try writing your shit on Solaris or FreeBSD, THEN moving it to Linux. Chances are it will work flawlessly. I don't just mean some sh-glue, I'm talking even freaking C code. I've personally witnessed Linux (well really gnu libs) let off-by-one errors happen in run time without segfaulting, Solaris totally says 'fuck you' immediately, and you get to fix your code so that it is actually right. Luckily, I don't worry about mixed environments anymore and I am that asshole that uses tons of bashisms and gnu-specific stuff everywhere.
I might be using the wrong word (propaganda) it's more like the total lack of any accurate historic information on the topic being taught to children. It's always 'the potato famine' not the "engineered genocide" that it actually was. It's quite annoying to be irish american and go through world history class which makes next to no mention of what actually happened, while the jews and blacks get their places in the books. The scots and irish get nothing. This is what I have gone through since childhood. The british seem to have throughout history had a policy of systematically destroying the culture of anywhere they occupied because of their perceived superiority. A hungry man is a hungry man and a hungry mob is hungry mob; the IRA is a natural evolution of the oppression of people for thousand+ years. Restraint after a thousand+ years is an unreasonable request. Britain: get the fuck out of Ireland is a reasonable one.
Misguided? Wrong. Sure I'm American but I am only american because of the genocide that the british perpetrated on the Irish, causing my family to emigrate. People talk about the 'famine' yet the english are shipping crops directly out of irish ports, after they pushed everybody to the brink of "fertile" (read: sand and rocks) land where only potatoes would work. And people attribute the blight itself to god, but to me it seems suspicious that a ship destined for some other country not so close to ireland that carried the blight landed in ireland. Furthermore, it was a fucking foreign occupation, much like the US invading fucking afghanistan. The potato 'famine' is LISTED as a genocide. Here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocides_in_history#British_Ireland . I am sick of this fucking shit. The jews get theirs but england has never admitted to wrongdoing. The 60% you speak of WERE british to begin with, and IN northern ireland. I'm sick of this fucking propaganda, and have been since I was a child and taught what really happened.
Maybe if britain hadn't engineered the potato genocide, or got the fuck out years before, the ira would have never existed. No actually it's not a maybe, it's certain.

This was me btw, don't know why I wasn't logged in on this computer anymore.

"Android style security"??? It's a sad day on /. when someone calls mandatory access control "android style security".

And what fs would this be? If the standard filesystem repair utility didn't fix that, then ill remember to never use it.

PHP is for retards who can't be bothered to use real OO like python or ruby.
