hybby··on Try: run a command and inspect its effects before changing your live system
maybe you could run the updates in a transaction that you could roll back if you were unhappy with the result?
hybby··on Art Garfunkel's Library
Remarkable that a new book hasn't entered his "favourites" (top 100) in 22 years. And that his favourite books are ones he read longest ago - the favourites ranking tracks with date read fairly consistently!
hybby··on Docker install and upgrade guide – CentOS and Ubuntu
> CentOS 7.1+ 64 bit version

good luck on CentOS 8. docker does not maintain el8 rpms, and installing the most recent offering from Docker requires that you work around several package conflict issues.

in the end it just didn't feel good, and i ended up going down the (clearly recommended) podman route instead. however, rootless podman containers have their own gotchas...

i kind of wish i'd installed debian on my homeserver instead. :)

hybby··on Show HN: Startuper's life – Damn True moments from startuper's life
interesting to see there's only 140 damn true moments (at the time of writing, anyway).

that's like, almost two and a half hours

hybby··on Does Music Help You Become More Productive?
i like to think that music makes me more productive as a sysadmin, but it really doesn't. i'll start thinking about the song i'm listening to more than the task i'm performing. it reduces my alertness and productivity.

however, the act of simply having headphones on my head makes me a great deal more productive! the number of drive-bys i receive at my desk drops dramatically when i go into antisocial mode.
