Monday Morning Mishap:
Me: “Why is the firewall blocking prod?”
Also me: “Oh… I was testing that last night.”
Pro tip: Don't debug your weekend experiments in production. (But let’s be honest… we all have.)

Around 1PM, I tend to hit a slump. I built a midday reset that actually helps.
Here’s what it looks like:
1. Mute all my notifications
2. Do a chore like dishes
3. Eat lunch, watch a podcast!
Not every day is perfect, but this routine has made a huge difference. How about you?
Just dropped the YouTube version of GitOps for the #Linux Administrator featuring @christianh814.bsky.social. We break down:
What #GitOps actually means, why sysadmins should care, tools that help you #automate, scale, and sleep more! youtu.be/2uhIva1siXU
#SysAdmin #DevOps #Ansible #ITGuyShow
What is GitOps really — and why should sysadmins care? I jut chatted with @christianh814.bsky.social about escaping 2AM patch cycles, mindset shifts for #Linux admins, and why #automation isn’t just for devs! More guitar, less pager. itguyeric.com/podcast/itg10

I can't wait to share my talk on #imageBuilder and #kernelCare!
Look who wanted to record their own #podcast this morning, lol!
I’m torn between tuning @almalinux.org 10 as a hypervisor/container host on my PowerEdge R730 or #proxmox!

Just a little over a month until I start my first semester as a professor! As of today, I have 5 students signed up. I can't wait to show them the amazing world of #linux at #JCCC !
I can’t wait!
I’ve been away from #ubuntu for more than just a few years…What’s changed? What’s new? How’s it stack up against other distros these days? Looking for a guest to walk me through the modern Ubuntu story on The #ITGuyShow. Ping me if you’d love to dig in! #Linux #Podcast #opensource
I’m lining up episodes of the #ITGuyShow on #X11 and #Wayland — their quirks, legacy, and the future of the Linux desktop.
If you’ve worked with either (or both!) or have strong real-world takes, let’s talk. Reach out to me or nominate someone great!
