Who delivers a 50K per head training? Who pays for such a thing?

How many people were in the class?

I had a small training company, shuttered during COVID, and I used to charge 5K per day, for a group of up to 12 people. 5 days training = 25K. This is double, wow.

I would love to get back into training but getting enough volume to live and support a family on has been a challenge.

You are welcome! I’m happy to hear it!

I teach a vi basics tutorial and I get that a lot. :)

http://vitutorial.org/

The tutorial is based on Bill Joy’s original paper introducing the vi editor.

Maybe you’ll find something else new there. :)

You can have multiple user accounts with UID 0. They will all be priveleged superusers.

Back in umpteen-umpty-umph, we used to have multiple accounts like that for different departments each with their own password. So you could track use of superuser accounts by department for some degree of accountability.

This was on Solaris 2.something but I don't see why it wouldn't work like that on other UNIX systems. It's the UID of 0 that makes an account a superuser, not the username.

I can't address all your points, but if you add your linter as a pre-commit hook, the AI won't be able to open a PR if it doesn't pass your linter. That could catch the tabs-versus-spaces issue.

I am in a similar situation. Looking for work now and am finding both LinkedIn and Indeed have remote jobs. I also came across RemoteRocketship.com which is a subscription service. I am also talking to my friends and former colleagues. Good luck!

Sure. Reporting with CFEngine is incredibly powerful. Forgive my enthusiasm, my team (at Vertical Sysadmin) developed an ETL pipeline to aggregate data from CFEngine hubs into a "superhub" which later inspired Federated Reporting in CFEngine Enterprise. It's actually incredibly useful. We'd drop into the Postgres database (CFEngine Enterprise uses Postgres under the hood) and use raw SQL to slice and dice the data. We supported tens of thousands of servers across multiple divisions and organizational silos.

I was answering the OP, "I wouldn't even know where to migrate to for managing full VMs in such a nice way(puppetserver/puppetdb/bolt)", and offering a potential solution for managing full VMs.

I am actually going to try AWX this week. Thanks!
