Evolution of Content and Skills: Linux Administration, Bash Scripting, and Server Management
The chapter traces the podcast's evolution in content, from learning shells and terminals to focusing on sysadmin skills like administering a Linux server, using SSH, CRON, and systemd. It covers topics on Bash scripting, examining differences between ZSH and Bash, discussing truthy and falsey values, and the significance of specific exit codes in programming. The conversation extends to Go programming for managing remote servers, knowledge of databases like Postgres and Elasticsearch, setting up TailScale for a home VPN, using physical keyboards and NAS devices, and exploring purpose-built network storage computers like Synology with a Linux-based operating system.
