I personally agree. I think it’s being somewhat overhyped. If step one is physical access to get things rolling… like for sure some machines are in more public areas than others. But for me, someone would have to break into my house first, then access my machine, just to run exploits later. The exploit is pretty massive, but I think needs to be tempered with “first they need physical access”. Because physically controlling machines has always been number 1 for security.
I’ve seen RHEL completely crap itself due to a 3rd party update. Wasn’t that long ago fairly certain it was a McAfee update that took down a bunch of our Linux boxes. It happens.
I firmly disagree. Apple will say one thing but do another. But it looks like their PR dept is doing good work.
Completely agree. I haven’t met a single person that has genuinely liked it. But they feel compelled to use it and speak highly of it because it’s what you do in the industry. And a lot of the people that do keep pushing for it keep acting like it’s going to be the single solution that fixes everything somehow magically…
And I don’t know about you, but I know an excessive number of people it seem to think that if you want to idempotent then it has to be ansible… As if suggesting that it’s impossible to be idempotent by any other means.
I found Ansible as a product, lacking. Granted maybe some of the issues was because it was AWX? Unsure. But everything about it was like pulling teeth.
I personally prefer Salt, if for no other reason than it’s significantly faster. And frankly I found writing the respective configs much easier to ready and follow with Salt.
They provide a simple, out of the box ,turnkey solution with a common UI to configure and manage the whole thing. Out of the box it covers most situations someone might need for a basic home server.
Down voted to negative… No counter points given… ok.
That works but the fastener can’t be metal. Come across somebody with magnetic powers or for some reason the metal gets heated up and welds to itself… Bad times. But I think you’re onto something.
What are the important, distinguishing differences between RHEL8 and REHL9 one should probably know.
I was very confused. I only know a ricer in ricing as a kitchen utensil and what you use to make the world’s best mashed potatoes.
And they use arch btw
