Things I learned from him and agreed:
- Add at least 1 partition to the LVM volume rather than the single disk (/dev/sdc1 rather than /dev/sdc).
- Don't mess with kernel modules for security apps (it only taints the kernel).
- YAML indentation sucks.
- Avoid dhcp in VMs.
- Don't overuse shell scripts in crontabs.
- M$ Natural keyboards are good. Sculpt is likely better.
- Diablo is one of the best game franchises.
- Heavy Metal for ambiance.
- Cheap plastic for 3d printers makes for good testing ground.
- https://www.thingiverse.com for 3d printing models.
- Raspberry Pi's should be kept at raspbian for maximum compatibility.
- Mesh networking for large houses, preferably 5ghz band.
- LFS or make-yourself distros to learn the startup/bootloader ecosystem.
- NAS should be updated regularly.
- NFS rather than SMB for all enterprise needs.
- Kickstarter has waaay too many projects.
- Leather rather than vinyl for wallets.
- The 4th Doctor is the best.
Where we disagreed:
- Having a family is needed to be a good person.
- Self-discipline beats talent on the long-run, if well used.
- Social media is a necessary evil.
- RHEL is the only worthy enterprise Linux distribution.
- macOS and apple devices. I just don't use them.
- Propietary apps for "convenience". Always go open.
- Linux as main driving OS everywhere.
- Compulsive shopping. Just don't.
- Organizing and documenting is the most important task for knowledge building.
- Satellite/Tower are production ready. Way too overengineered and fragile.
