Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    This is dumb.

    You could do all that stuff with bash scripts but it would be a management nightmare. You'd also be completely reinventing the wheel.

    If anyone seriously thinks this is a good idea, please post your LinkedIn so I know to never hire you.

    Totally possible to go overboard in either spectrum of complexity. But yeah, take Prometheus for example. It's super easy to set up and does a great job of metrics. Reimplementing this in bash would require... a lot of work.

    It depends. I use k8s a lot, and annoyingly enough we still happen to use cronjobs and bash scripts to "automate" certain tasks. Maybe it's inertia, but bash is certainly easy to fall back to...

    Yeah I am deep in the kube world as well. Since this industry-wide shift started happening, I feel like I write essentially no code anymore outside of bash scripts to glue things together. It's essential but it's not a replacement.

    This cartoon seemed to me to be suggesting that you could implement the behavior of kube with bash. That's obviously absurd.

    This is not realistic, you also need aliases.

    what is all that stuff
