I love that I got to talk #DnD with @TStashwick because it cracks me up he always plays bad-ass jerks (#StarTrekPicard and #VisionQuest) but is the nicest guy in person. lol!

#TechTipThursday: stop re-running the same command to see if something changed. watch -n 5 'df -h /var' It reruns every 5 seconds and updates in place. Add -d to highlight what changed. Ctrl+C to stop. Your up arrow and Enter finger can take the afternoon off. #Linux #SysAdmin

A MONTH into the new job and I’ve finally stopped hearing Slack notification bell in my sleep, lol! That first stretch where your brain keeps running after hours can be rough. How long did it take you to feel settled somewhere new? #NewJob #WorkLife

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

There’s no fate but what we make.

#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

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

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

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

A real commit history from a real project: fix fix again actually fix revert "actually fix" please WORKS Squash before the merge request. Nobody needs to see what I went through. #MemeMonday #Git #DevOps #Linux
