I'm archiving something and I'll need to do it in stages because of space. Like, an interactive "split", "[do next chunk], or do *n* chunks", tap the Enter key to move forward...

Is there something battle-tested for this, or is lashing together a bespoke script the norm?

(I asked Github Copilot for software pointers, and it really wants to write a script. I can think of features like checksums and gracefully handling running out of space, and I expect that someone else, who's given it more than a few minutes of thought, has covered those niceties and more already)

Heyho, I'm seeking an #Internship as #Sysadmin from Sep 2025 to March 2026, ideally in or around #Düsseldorf, but I'm open to remote. I'm passionate about Linux and I'd like to explore the #DevOps route too. See my website larmart.de for contact infos and a first impression. - The costs of the Internship are covered completely, it’s a free opportunity to work in a passionate and young Linux fellow. Thank you guys, boost is appreciated 🙏🏻❤️🐧

When I complain that some software (or its dependencies) doesn't work on *BSD but requires Linux, I'm not criticizing Linux. For me, it's not an OS battle, but a matter of freedom and avoiding a dangerous and rampant computing monoculture. And when people reply to me with "well, just use it on Linux" - while they're giving me sensible advice - they're missing the crucial point: if it ONLY runs on Linux, it's not Linux's fault, but we are, precisely, creating a dangerous monoculture.

Je crois que je n'arriverais pas à être #SysAdmin, je suis trop stressé à l'idée de faire des mises à jour...

Là, je viens de passer de #Proxmox 7.4.14 à 7.4.20 et j'ai stressé, et il faut que je passe à Proxmox 8 ; c'est une vraie autre affaire 😂

One of the main problems afflicting the cross-compatibility of modern software is dependencies. I'm trying to run some software on FreeBSD. It's written in Node.js, so I'd expect it to work. However, a dependency (which isn't direct, but a dependency of a dependency) doesn't release binaries for FreeBSD and fails to compile, meaning the whole thing falls apart. Even though it's just a dependency of a dependency.

I'm looking into ways to get it running anyway, somehow (it seems to work with Linuxulator but then errors out), but this trend, unfortunately, reminds me of the era of Winmodems: back then people would say, "Well, why don't you just use Windows and solve the problem?"
Today, the answer is often, "Well, just install Linux and you're sorted, right?"

Building Virtual Machines in Proxmox with Ansible — rootwork v0.2 - Not my post !

"In today's short and sweet #100DaysToOffload (post 005!), I would like to show off an #ansible playbook for creating VMs in #Proxmox.

I wrote this playbook several weeks ago when I was trying to stretch the limits of what I could do with Ansible. It would be much better to do this wit…

It's probably a good idea to do another #introduction since people change over time, ideally.

I'm haui. I help people & build things that help people. Big #foss enthusiast, #sysadmin by day and #hacktivist at night.

I think all people (and animals) are born equal and should stay that way.

I oppose #capitalism and embrace alternative systems. I dont care about #corporatedemocracy and manipulated "free speech".

I want thirst, hunger and homelessness gone, for everyone, by any means necessary.

Hey #Linux-admins I know I am late to the game but what are your favorite ressources to learn nftables (and maybe ressources with arguments for switching to and learning them for easier convincing my colleagues)? #sysadmin
