Okay peeps, i have one $7 and one $6(ryzen) under my card and some cc debt(increased due to black Friday).

When was this bought?

yesterday night, in the mega thread, was frantic though.

oh the heartbeat one, whats the second deal?

Datidea the second one.

What were the specs of that one?

Same just Ryzen and $6.

Both sweet deals man, good catch!

Yah. But, what do people do with all the great deals they get during BF?

The Flash Deal for the 4GB vps is now my main vps, and a 1gig is currently running website and analytics, still working out the rest XD

Oh, makes sense. What about the GA won VPSes?

At least one will be used to help teach others linux , but like I said still figuring it out

Share your website, I wanna learn more about linux and especially security

It doesnt have much on it currently.... https://musselman.dev

I'm not used to seeing Caddy, I only heard about it from you and this my first time seeing a website using it

Yea its kinda new, but its just a easier nginx to me, never used gui tools to set up web server stuff, and this was less verbose

Cool, how much ram is that website eating up right now?

Really really low, it looks like statically generated.

it is and I wrote the theme. it's a work in progress

Wow, good work bro, although not a fan of dark mode. Why did you wrote it yourself, why bother creating something from scratch when you can have the same or even better with lower efforts?

Me neither. I love dark theme only for the reason that it is sometimes less straining on the eyes, but, for 24/7 usage, hate Dark theme, even on my phone.

I guess making a light theme version is on the roadmap

Are these the projects you referred to about building a portfolio? Are you aiming for a web dev job?

No, Ive been doing various web dev for years, this theme was like 20 mins work, and I need to finish it XD

Oh, so you have decent experience.
How can I position myself as a system administrator

Experience is key. Get your hands dirty with the technology you want to learn such as RHEL. Break stuff, fix it. READ THE DOCUMENTATION. Build out a homelab is also a good idea

But how do I build a portfolio with that kind of stuff?

Document the homelab, the decisions you made, what you learned, why you went with what you did, write out a DRP, most of it would show up via some sort of writing, you cant really show off SysAdmin as simple as a software dev would show off a project.

Hmmm never thought of documentation. Thank you bro, i'll look more into it

Documentation is necessary if you are going in adminstration stuff. No matter if server, computer or business.

I wouldn't need a college degree when I have certificates like cisco right?

College degree is basic, certificates are advanced level stuff. Here's an example a fresh graduates doesn't know what to do when getting DDoS, but a certified network engineer do.

This is so true. BTW, did you complete your degree in India or some other country? Or, are you an elite institution graduate (IITs, etc.)?

India basic degree holder got family issues when I was trying to get in state iit.

Does that "elite" degree come with some privileges?
Sorry to hear that Trk,

Yup almost instant hiring right after graduation and with some awesome perks at that too.

Yup, most of them land 1Cr+ packages soon after graduation.

Whats the "1cr"

10 million and vice versa.

Damn 130k us dollars!

Although it's rare, I mean it. And it includes other things on hiring like stocks, relocation allowance, etc etc. i don't want to bust the bubble but no fresher earn that much in India can't say the same for US. In India there are more terms and conditions that comes with the package instead of usual package.

Are those jobs solely for developers? Making that much in India must be an equivalent of 500k in the us

The most paying job anywhere in the world is in management, yup that's right, tech industry has a good pay scale but the experienced person would go in administration if one get the chance. Here's an example a tech company hires a CEO and pay him the most in company for not being a developer but being good in management.

Me as well. But, pretty sure, we would see actual rivalry here, or rather no activity at all. People won't even Thank posts that are helpful, just to make sure the other person doesn't climb up the ladder. Sad reality about humans.

Imagine people creating bulk accounts to thank themselves that would start a chaos

The only way to get rid of greed is to take money out of the equation, which for obvious reasons is a dystopia.
