This may sound funny but it all had to start from some place! was there a lot of people or was there just one man that did all of this,no matter who did it . it had to be HArd!!
Do I need HP Support Solutions Framework installed on my computer?
Is it safe to uninstall HP Support Solutions Framework? A few days ago I had an HP security update and after I updated it installed HP Support Solutions Framework. I am unsure if I ever had it before or just noticed it since I had my program page in control panel set on recently installed programs. I uninstalled it to see if it would fix a glitch I was having but it didn't. Since I uninstalled it will anything critical or even just in general be missing on my computer that I need or any drivers, software etc? Do I need that program to update any drivers/software? What exactly does it do and is my computer okay without it?
Is there no future for Linux administrators?
I have been UNIX/Linux Administrator about 6 years of my career. Then Database Administrator about same or more.What I’m going to say next, is not necessarily good news for me my self.I think both of these roles will disappear. I don’t think there is anything on Linux Administration itself developers couldn’t do themselves.That said, I’m not saying there is no need for administration. There is. But, requirements for administrators are much higher. They do need to know how to write code. Same goes for developers. They do need to know how the platform works they are going to run their code on.I think it’s pretty clear, that this is what DevOps is about. And then we will have DataOps which will merge with DevOps.We still need hardware. And developers who understand hardware. Most of the DevOps can still ignore the hardware.If the answer is, is there future for Linux administrators who can fluently code Python, Go, Erlang, Java, Scala and utilize their coding skills on automated administrative tasks for Linux? Then the answer is, yes there is bright future for them.Is there future for SysAdmins who can barely do minimal shell scripting? No I don’t think there is. If you can only do Linux installations including basic administration and survive somehow in the world of sed/awk/vim/grep/top/iostat/vmstat/free/ls/cd/… that is not going to be enough.Edit: I’d also like to add, that Docker and other container technologies as well as lambda (AWS) are going to obsolete need for system administration greatly. Cloud (public or on-prem) and CI/CD doesn’t depend on Administrators. Sure it needs a platform where you run your container but it is not like it was 10 years ago. It will never be like it was 10 years ago.We need more developers with understanding of platform and unfortunately there will be zero need for SysAdmins without understanding of coding. Not related to Linux though, except at the moment those containers run on top of Linux or hypervisor running some subset of Linux.Edit2: As Wes pointed out, yes do read How Google Runs Production Systems eBook: Betsy Beyer, Chris Jones, Jennifer Petoff, Niall Richard Murphy: Amazon.ca: Kindle StoreIt gives a good idea where SysAdmins should go in general.
How to give internet access to a private net?
If you must install 125 computers for a new business that wants to run TCP/IP and have access to the Internet. The ISP in town will assign you only four public IP addresses, so you decide to assign the computers addresses in the range 172.16.1.1/16 through 172.16.1.125/16. What else must you do to allow these computers to access the Internet? thxs,
