Linux in the Workplace (lemm.ee)

Recent events have had me thinking a lot more about which tools we will be allowed to use in the workplace.

It was difficult to undo the damage that using Windows for most of my life affected my perception of computers.

Using Linux has widened my perspective on technology in general and made it a lot more fun to explore low level and systems programming.

Do many of you get to use Linux tools at work? How would you feel about more small establishments and local shops using software that gives them more control?

I’d imagine payment software, and a whole slough of other services are now sold as SaaSes when historically they did not need to be digitized or have an unnecessary middle man.

Just a little Tuesday thought for discussion. Hope you all are doing well.

Any suggestions for a noob in the router space? I’m looking to start with some basics, and wasn’t sure if Network Chuck would be the best starting point.

Sometimes there are some graybeard HTML documentation sites laying around that are great at conveying fundamentals.

Being in the in between age group that didn't learn the way the web is structured from an earlier timeframe has garbled my understanding of where I should start and the roadmap of where I want to go.

CCNA still offers a good base.

It is also indoctrination for Cisco stuff. It is a good baseline but remember other vendors exist.

OpenWRT is very useful for playing around and tickering.

From a networking perspective learn the OSI model and TCP/IP basics first and then start building things from old routers running OpenWRT. Also don't be afraid of reading docs and articles. I personally don't care for textbooks but I love reading though a Wikipedia article or a related site like GeeksforGreeks
