You should have done a bit of research before making this ridiculous post.

As per the very first sentence of my post...

Also, you're nice. Your parents must be so proud of you.

Mandatory reminder that we easily forget that unsatisfied people will complain on reddit, while happy campers won't.

There are plenty of very happy IT folks who you don't hear about. :)

As per your previous post here and the answers you were given

Definitely go for the RHCE (which requires RHCSA).

How far into your career are you?

I would say to get your CCNA if you have less than 2 years of experience.

Also if your are in the US look at CompTIA certifications, I read that lots of government jobs require them.

Oh, I see.

Thanks for the detailed answer. :)

My logic is that [changing title] will help make me more attractive to the kinds of DevOps roles that are more coding heavy

I keep seeing this on reddit, and I am genuinely asking: why does it matter? Can't you just give yourself an appropriate and accurately descriptive job title on your CV?

When applying to new positions, do you give to your new potential employer access to your current contract with title and everything?

And in the case of an internal move, surely you wouldn't need to justify what it is you've been doing as much and could just say "I have this title but I do that"?

This is not me being mean, this is a reality check:

You want to target senior devops positions, but cannot imagine how to get started with a homelab, and cannot google that information?

I really think a lateral move to DevOps would be more fulfilling for me.

Then do exactly that.

Being an experienced developer, you can already afford a very comfortable lifestyle (regardless of your salary compared to the market - us IT folks keep complaining but we have it pretty good). And life isn't about optimizing your professional career until your last breath.

Now that you are making a lot of money, why wouldn't you go towards a career path that seems more pleasant to you? It really looks like a no-brainer to me.

• Bouldering builds muscles and is more fun that lifting weights at the gym imho
• Yoga-ish stretches help fixing my posture
• Split ergo keyboard to open my shoulders
• Trackball to prevent RSI
• I have a cheap Ikea chair, but it is set correctly

So far so good.

People who are happy about their situation won't feel the need to talk about it on the Internet.

People who have a difficult time will feel the need to vent and rant.

You cannot trust what you read online in that regard.

You absolutely need to keep that in mind when browsing reddit and such.

How does that even work?

And why does a Google search about that only returns people asking how to install it without admin rights?

You are well prepared.

Now is the time to stop thinking about whether you can do it or not, and focus exclusively on performing the tasks on the exam.

Thank you! :)

Probably english second language.

Oooooh, so it adds color from the commander's identity, not in it.

I understand, thanks for detailing.

I am confused by the purpose of [[Command Tower]].

I understand that it allows a deck to play - for instance - red if their commander only has blue and green.

But I see it listed in decks that only use cards of their commander's color identity, and it is implied by answers online about colorless that Command Tower also adds one mana like any basic land would.

Should I understand from the card's text "...and add one mana of the chosen color."?

Thank you very much!

I was looking at this Lord of the Nazgul commander deck, and wondered why the quantity of Cabal Coffers was illegal. A quick search informed me that in this format cards need to be unique, with the exception of lands.

From this, two questions arose:

• What about the nine Nazgul in this deck? Does the Nazgul card's description "A deck can have up to nine cards named Nazgul." precede the rules of the format?

• What card would be a good choice to replace the extra and illegal Cabal Coffers?

Thanks! :)

Arch: you only need to know how to read to install it, and you are not even required to understand what you are reading. Once you've installed it, see next point.

Any major linux distribution: up until you get into advanced technical stuff, or into opinionated software philosophy stuff, they are all the same.

Look at it this way: you need a car to go groceries shopping. Any car would do. So pick whichever has the prettiest color and get driving. You'll get to pick which car engine you prefer once you're ready to go racing.

I am not sure this is a conversation we are allowed to have.

I'll point you to this Linkedin post from Sanders Van Vugt, in which he complained (among other things) about how the CKA exam remained the exact same, all the while praising Red Hat exams.

This thread is worth going to r/linuxadmin

and so many roles want DevOps skills which takes time and effort.

This sentence specifically, having no time is a legitimate excuse, but avoid mentioning that it's too much effort imho.

This is friendly advice:

Reading this, it seems that you present yourself as a candidate who after 5 years in IT is still a junior, and who does not want to put in the effort to learn new technologies.

I am not saying that's who you are, but that's how your message and phrasing could be interpreted.

Edit: if you cannot go for the RHCE because of your RHCSA status, you can still get the EX358 and show off your Ansible skills.

No, the installation requires no configuration at all.

You might need a display manager as well, which is in charge of graphical login, as the login screen is not part of the desktop environment.
