      13 year old was asking for book recommendations. I'm torn between recommending the Thrawn trilogy and protecting her from the heartbreak of knowing how good episodes 7-9 could have been.

      The one(s) by Timothy Zahn? So much better than what's on the boob tube.

      Those are good.

        When a job has "Lead team development including resolve conflicts in technical approach among technical staff" as the first responsibility...

            Everybody Loves Large Chests by Exterminatus.

            It's still actively being written and is available on royalroad for free.

              USGS is not a bad section of the federal government to work for. I knew (casual acquaintance) a few people there in the St. Louis area. No idea if they are still there or not.

              But that description is horrible.

                USGS would definitely be a place I'd be more willing to look than most. But yeah.

                  I was going to play with shrinking a filesystem and a LVM volume only to discover XFS can't be shrunk. Back to EXT4 for the moment. ๐Ÿ™‚

                    That's because shrinking a filesystem isn't really something you want to be doing in production outside of the most extremely rare circumstance.

                      I agree. I couldnโ€™t think of a good reason to do it, other than wanting to see how it can be done.

                        Being frustrated with Fedora and thinking about a famous quote, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then give up. No point in being a darn fool about it." W.C. Fields

                        I just keep being the darn fool apparently.....

                          after getting my ass kicked in a trainning session (well it was supposed to be a trainning session however they didnt do their part so instead turned into a rip apart the menu and criticize the software) I have a lot of work to do .

                                Are you on the firing squad or having to dodge the bullets?

                                  Firing squad. Itโ€™s for a replacement Citrix admin, so I donโ€™t have much technical background about which to ask. I was curious to know what the candidate does to keep skills sharp and if they participate in any professional communities.

                                          It's a position that's for our "senior Citirx Admin" vacancy. You'd have to move to Georgia.

                                            ML is my go-to during interviews. Still looking for applicants? I'm still looking.

                                            It's a position that's for our "senior Citirx Admin" vacancy. You'd have to move to Georgia.

                                            I'll have to take a look. One good thing about being a widower and no kids, I have nothing to make me want to stay in any particular place.
