#Linux plus certification

[distancealliance]

"Experimental build 7033 is now available! It features several fixes for the Steam Deck, Windows and Linux have been updated to 64-bit, two Community levels from Pinapl have been visually updated, plus some other minor fixes.

I'm also excited to say that Distance has recently passed certification on PS4 and PS5, so I'm excited to announce a release date soon. Still some work to do there but things are looking good. Hope you all are doing well!" -Torcht

On Eureka Moments

There is one tiny, tiny plus-side to insomnia: the epiphanies you get when you finally manage to catch a few winks.

So, I finish my shift, clock out, term out of my Linux resources and crash into bed before supper gets going. Sarah's not tired enough to join in, but Walt is definitely leaning on his concern for me and joins in. We spoon in the way I like and soon enough, even though it takes me a while, I'm gone. Poof.

It's not long, mind you - an hour and some change before we have to cook dinner - but it's enough to strip me of that sense of distance I mentioned, earlier. Dots start to connect, and what's really fucking weird for me is that I don't so much start dreaming as I'd say I sandboxed while asleep.

It felt a little like waking up without actually waking up. I was in the same posture I'd fallen asleep in, locked in thanks to Walt's body weight and aware of the fact that I was actually in REM sleep, but the room had this hyper-vivid texture that it only gets when my brain goes hog-wild at the end of an insomnia episode. I couldn't make out anything out of the noises coming from the living room, as speech and sound were as distorted as they usually are in my dreams. What still made sense, however, were my own thoughts.

This is a longboi, folks. Clicky if you dare.

I started going over the root causes of my insomnia, starting with the fact that I had to play IT Goon for six small dealerships staffed with reticent, tech-adverse fuddy duddies and dudebros who really just wanted something to run their CRM resources and the occasional instance of Google Chrome. I have to field everything from keyboards no longer working to printers going on the fritz to login credentials with big dealerships' own Finance portals no longer being valid - all of it while keeping an eye on our Linux-using Call Centre employees, listening in on calls, taking briefs from our Marketing department (basically one gal plus Walt) and occasionally physically schlepping campaign material - albeit with some help - because most manufacturers are a bit averse to the idea of dealerships passing resources around externally.

Simplified, that gives me two large task groups:

Network Admin

The Nuclear Football, as I call my laptop that's intermittently crammed with marketing-level campaign plans that dealerships treat like they're handing us a hydrogen bomb. That mostly involves carrying it to the dealerships involved, giving it network access, transferring the relevant files and walking the staff through their resources.

I only really administer the Call Center stuff, and anything Network Admin might be involved, it doesn't drive me as stir-crazy as reassuring a bunch of Boomers and non-tech-savvy Millennials that we do, indeed, have their parent company's provided resources on-hand.

That part, and everything related to their fucking PC installs, I could do remotely - either with Microsoft Azure or Windows Server Edition 20XX.

I'm sleeping on three of my most important certifications because the people I work for are too risk-averse to realize we could just drop everything on a remote server and walk them through everything with a video call or two. Everything short of physical hardware failure, I can handle or control using a Windows Server hub and the most wonderful tool known to man, which is known as the Fucking Group Policy Editor. Pair that with a few hires we keep in-house at each dealership, and I could set things up so I never need to leave my home office ever again.

Ever. Again.

No scheduling conflicts, no waffling about because my Paratransport ride is late, no depending on Walt or Sarah when the short bus isn't convenient or fast enough.

There's just one hitch - money. I can set up a would-be master server and rope every single of our dealerships and every single of their PC installs under a single server's wing within a week or two, give or take a few days for unplanned events. Even simpler, I could do the same with Azure. Option 1 requires a wee bit more cash on the Infrastructure part but could mostly be one-and-done if we're willing to be smart about it, Option 2 requires tossing money at Microsoft on a monthly basis, at no extra power cost or space management worries for us.

Then, there's the unavoidable warts and blemishes. I'd need to image everyone's workstations across our dealerships, format their entire fleet and then rebuild everything using these images and WSE's Deployment Tools. I can't do this on weekdays, these guys have promos to run - and there's weekends where I can't do it either. Our Mercedes joint is expecting visitors by Canada Day, for instance. It's time-consuming, I'd need to plan it out with them and any time I spend setting up someone's server-based clone of their previous Windows install is time I can't spend doing anything else.

Ergo, that needs to happen during a massive holiday. The only one that fits the bill is Christmas.

Then, there's the fact that I need some leeway now. I need to go back to a decent sleep schedule starting yesterday. I can't just hold on, grit my teeth and expect to hold on for six months of this; I'll keel over before Halloween if nothing changes.

But, the fun thing with luxury dealerships is that they tend to give themselves off-weeks when sales ramp down seasonally. That includes mid-July.

I wake up with a start and, barely lucid, ring up our Mercedes and Audi clients. Confirmed: they're aiming for a ramp-down of their operations in mid-July. I briefly expose my plans, set up a Web meeting, and spend the last twenty minutes of what should've been my nap explaining to two befuddled Sales Directors that I'm about to propose gaining complete control over their infrastructure, with the included benefit of a drag-and-drop common directory where I'd simply organize promo materials as we obtain them. I could even use it to deliver patches that come to us in binaries, as a few do apply. Their on-site guys could handle printer clogs or dying USB ports, I'd take care of and automate most of everything that's software-based.

And, what I didn't tell them, is that I'd even be able to finally restrict Sales reps from unnecessary account privileges, which could make the occasional case of disciplinary action even more occasional. You can't loaf around at work watching PornHub on the job if there's a rule in place that specifically includes it in a list of banned addresses and IP ranges...

I know how it sounds - it's basic fucking barebones IT stuff, it's the fucking bedrock of Network Admin, maybe one or two rungs above CompTIA resources - but you'd be surprised at how many dealerships have exactly zero administration. They don't see the need; they're car guys with maybe one or two Web apps of choice, if any! As to why I didn't think of it earlier, it's mostly because it's not technically my job. Walt, Sarah and I distribute and manage promotional material and help dealerships to keep up with user retention and analytics. We do everything a Sales Director should do, except most Sales Directors are usually tied up with their local Karens complaining about the Service department's mechanics.

So what if we gave them an infrastructure? What if we air-gapped it, made it easily reproducible and deployable, and made it so working with us only means looking at a slightly different Windows login screen, before starting your workday?

If this works, we'll expand our services and solve most of my problems. Salesguy McGee's computer ain't worth shit? No prob, just clone his install, nuke the base, reinstall from the clone and spend a few minutes mothering it to make sure you haven't imported previously-observed bugs.

I mentioned Azure, but I know our guys won't want to contribute to a cloud budget. Again, they're tech-averse and think using the cloud means you're at the mercy of a Redmond or Seattle-based server outage. Psychologically, they'll want the comfort of their own spinning rust and SSDs. If I've got that WSE server I mentioned, it's no skin off my teeth.

So, while Walt was trying to follow along, I tried for my most diplomatic cough imaginable.

"I'd, uh, need another 20K for our IT budget. Six of 'em would go for a WSL license, the rest would go for maybe two extra 2U units over at the office."

I thought Walt would protest, but he just gave me a level look. "Will that help you sleep?"

I shrugged. "At the end of a somewhat lengthy process, sure. Relief's going to count for something, though, and I'm pretty much guaranteed to sleep like a baby tonight if you approve."

Boss Walt reacted first, by giving me a shoulder clasp. "Purchase approved. You've got our card, make it happen starting Monday."

Then followed Boyfriend Walt, who pulled me into a hug. "You're going to have to walk me through this, though - this is black magic to me."

Sarah, who'd caught wind of my WSE for Dummies talk, stopped by before heading into the kitchen. "He means he wants to be Emperor Palpatine, hon," she joked. "Ultimate power, Force lightning, no idiots being so much as able to install unsigned software on their machines, lockable USB ports - the works. You're the only one who'd need to keep visiting our guys in-person. The real challenge is going to involve letting a bunch of unaffiliated dealerships share the same basic server architecture, and even that's not too complicated."

I parted with a frayed, and possibly half-mad little laugh. "Holy shit, I'm gonna sleep tonight!"

Sometimes, one of the perks of insomnia is being able to take a few steps away from your professional bugbears and your clients' weirdo and inefficient methodology - and remembering the skillsets you actually paid for.

The Usefulness of Selenium: Key Benefits and Applications

Selenium is one of the most trusted and widely-used automation tools in the software testing world. It’s especially popular for web application testing, and its flexibility, open-source nature, and community support have made it a favorite among QA professionals and developers alike. Embracing Selenium’s capabilities becomes even more accessible and impactful with Selenium Certification Training.

Let's explore what makes Selenium so useful and how it's applied in real-world scenarios.

Cross-Browser and Cross-Platform Testing

Selenium allows testers to run automated tests on multiple browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Internet Explorer. This ensures your web application behaves consistently across different environments. It also supports various operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux, making it highly versatile.

Supports Multiple Programming Languages

One of Selenium’s biggest strengths is its support for several programming languages. Whether you're comfortable with Java, Python, C#, Ruby, or JavaScript, Selenium lets you write your test scripts in the language you know best. This lowers the learning curve and makes it easier to integrate into existing projects.

Integration with Modern Development Workflows

Selenium fits perfectly into today’s DevOps and Agile environments. It integrates easily with CI/CD tools like Jenkins, GitLab, Docker, and Maven, enabling faster development cycles and automated regression testing. This streamlines the delivery of high-quality software products. With the aid of Best Online Training & Placement Programs, which offer comprehensive training and job placement support to anyone looking to develop their talents, it’s easier to learn this tool and advance your career.

Open-Source and Community-Driven

Selenium is free and open-source, which removes cost barriers and makes it accessible for individuals and teams of all sizes. Plus, it has a large, active community that regularly contributes updates, plugins, tutorials, and support, making it easy to find solutions and stay up to date.

Extensive Testing Capabilities

Selenium isn’t limited to simple tasks like clicking buttons or filling out forms. It’s powerful enough to automate complex user scenarios, including dynamic content, AJAX calls, drag-and-drop interactions, and more. Selenium WebDriver, in particular, allows fine-grained control over browser interactions.

Parallel and Remote Test Execution

Using Selenium Grid, testers can run tests in parallel across multiple machines and browsers. This significantly speeds up the testing process and is especially helpful for large-scale applications that require extensive coverage and faster feedback loops.

Real-World Applications

E-commerce websites use Selenium to test customer journeys, payment processes, and product filtering.

Banking apps rely on Selenium for validating secure login, transactions, and dashboards.

Healthcare platforms test appointment systems, patient records, and data integrity.

Educational portals use it for automating course enrollment, content access, and assessments.

Conclusion

Selenium continues to lead the way in web automation testing thanks to its flexibility, community support, and integration capabilities. It helps organizations ensure quality, save time, and release products faster—all while reducing manual effort. Whether you're a beginner tester or part of an enterprise QA team, Selenium is a valuable tool worth mastering.

What is the Difference Between Plesk and cPanel?

When it comes to web hosting control panels, Plesk and cPanel are the two giants in the industry. Both offer comprehensive tools for managing web servers, websites, databases, emails, and more. However, they have their differences, and choosing the right one for your needs can significantly impact your hosting experience. In this article, we will explore the difference between Plesk and cPanel, focusing on their features, user interface, security, compatibility, and pricing, while highlighting the positive aspects of Plesk hosting.

1. User Interface and Ease of Use

One of the most noticeable differences between Plesk and cPanel is their user interface. Both platforms have designed their interfaces to be user-friendly, but they do so in different ways.

Plesk:Plesk is known for its clean, modern, and intuitive interface. It organizes its features into categories, making it easy for users to find what they need quickly. The dashboard is less cluttered, and the navigation is straightforward, which is especially beneficial for beginners. Plesk’s interface is also responsive, meaning it works well on various devices, including tablets and smartphones.

cPanel:cPanel’s interface, while powerful, can feel a bit outdated compared to Plesk. It organizes tools into icons, and while this can be effective for users who are familiar with the layout, it can be overwhelming for beginners. The interface is also less customizable than Plesk, which might be a drawback for those who want to tailor their control panel experience.

Verdict:When comparing the difference between Plesk and cPanel in terms of user interface, Plesk takes the lead. Its modern design, simplicity, and responsiveness make it more user-friendly, especially for beginners.

2. Operating System Compatibility

Operating system compatibility is another critical factor when choosing a web hosting control panel. The ability to work with different OS platforms can be a deciding factor for many users.

Plesk:Plesk is highly versatile and works on both Linux and Windows servers. This cross-platform compatibility makes it an excellent choice for users who may need to switch between different operating systems or those who prefer Windows-based hosting. The ability to manage both Linux and Windows servers from the same interface is a significant advantage of best plesk hosting.

cPanel:cPanel is limited to Linux servers, specifically CentOS, CloudLinux, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This limitation can be a dealbreaker for those who need Windows hosting, as cPanel does not support Windows servers.

Verdict:When considering the difference between Plesk and cPanel in terms of OS compatibility, Plesk emerges as the clear winner. Its ability to work seamlessly with both Linux and Windows servers gives it a significant edge over cPanel.

3. Security Features

Security is a top priority for anyone managing websites and servers. Both Plesk and cPanel offer robust security features, but there are some differences worth noting.

Plesk:Plesk is known for its strong security features. It comes with integrated security tools like Fail2Ban for intrusion detection and prevention, and ModSecurity for web application firewall protection. Plesk also supports Let’s Encrypt, allowing users to install SSL certificates easily. Additionally, Plesk offers advanced security options like two-factor authentication (2FA) and anti-spam filters. The platform's security is further enhanced by regular updates and patches, ensuring that vulnerabilities are addressed promptly.

cPanel:cPanel also offers a range of security features, including a virus scanner, SSH access management, IP blocking, and password-protected directories. cPanel integrates with several third-party security tools, which can be a plus for users who prefer specific security solutions. However, some of these features might require additional configuration, making them slightly less user-friendly compared to Plesk.

Verdict:In the battle of security features, Plesk has a slight edge due to its out-of-the-box security tools and ease of use. Plesk’s comprehensive security measures make it a preferred choice for those who prioritize a secure hosting environment.

4. Application Support and Management

The ability to manage and deploy applications efficiently is a crucial aspect of any control panel. Both Plesk and cPanel offer application support, but they differ in how they handle it.

Plesk:Plesk excels in application management with its integration of the Plesk Application Catalog. It supports a wide range of applications, including WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal, allowing users to install and manage these applications with a single click. Plesk’s WordPress Toolkit is particularly impressive, offering features like cloning, staging, and automatic updates, which are invaluable for WordPress users. Additionally, Plesk’s Docker support allows users to run Docker containers directly from the control panel, making it a versatile choice for developers.

cPanel:cPanel also supports a variety of applications through its Softaculous Apps Installer. Users can install popular CMS platforms, e-commerce tools, and more with just a few clicks. However, cPanel’s application management features are not as advanced as Plesk’s. For example, while cPanel supports WordPress, it lacks the comprehensive management tools found in Plesk’s WordPress Toolkit.

Verdict:Plesk takes the lead in application support and management. Its robust tools, especially for WordPress, make it an ideal choice for users who rely heavily on CMS platforms and need efficient management options.

5. Customer Support and Documentation

Reliable customer support and comprehensive documentation are essential for users of all experience levels.

Plesk:Plesk offers a wide range of support options, including an extensive knowledge base, community forums, and ticket-based support. The platform’s documentation is detailed and covers a wide array of topics, making it easy for users to find answers to their questions. Plesk also provides premium support options for users who require personalized assistance.

cPanel:cPanel also offers a comprehensive knowledge base and community forums. Additionally, cPanel provides ticket-based support, though some users have noted that response times can vary. Like Plesk, cPanel offers premium support for those who need more dedicated assistance.

Verdict:Both Plesk and cPanel offer strong customer support and documentation. However, Plesk’s extensive documentation and the variety of support options give it a slight advantage in this area.

6. Pricing and Licensing

Pricing can be a significant factor when choosing between Plesk and cPanel, especially for businesses or individuals managing multiple websites.

Plesk:Plesk’s pricing model is flexible and varies depending on the features and the number of domains you need to manage. Plesk offers three main plans: Web Admin, Web Pro, and Web Host. These plans cater to different needs, from managing a single website to hosting multiple domains. Plesk’s pricing is generally considered competitive, especially given the extensive features it offers. Additionally, Plesk often comes bundled with hosting packages, which can be cost-effective.

cPanel:cPanel’s pricing is based on the number of accounts managed on the server. This pricing model can become expensive for users who manage multiple accounts or websites. cPanel offers three main tiers: Solo (for one account), Admin (up to 5 accounts), and Pro (up to 30 accounts). For larger businesses or hosting providers, the Premier plan allows for more accounts, but at a higher cost.

Verdict:When comparing the difference between Plesk and cPanel in terms of pricing, Plesk’s flexible pricing structure and cost-effectiveness for multi-domain management make it a more attractive option for a broader range of users.

7. Backup and Restore Options

Having reliable backup and restore options is critical for website management. Both Plesk and cPanel provide these features, but they differ in execution.

Plesk:Plesk offers robust backup and restore options that are easy to use. Users can schedule automatic backups and store them in various locations, including remote storage. Plesk also allows for incremental backups, which can save time and storage space. Restoring from backups is straightforward, with options to restore entire websites, databases, or individual files.

cPanel:cPanel provides similar backup and restore functionalities, with the ability to perform full or partial backups. However, some users find cPanel’s backup system to be less intuitive compared to Plesk’s. cPanel also supports remote backups, but setting this up might require more configuration.

Verdict:Plesk’s backup and restore options are more user-friendly and versatile, making it a better choice for users who prioritize ease of use and flexibility in managing their backups.

8. Server Resource Management

Efficient server resource management is crucial for maintaining optimal performance, especially for websites with high traffic.

Plesk:Plesk provides detailed resource usage statistics and monitoring tools. Users can track CPU, memory, and disk usage, and manage resources efficiently. Plesk’s integration with tools like Grafana and Prometheus allows for advanced monitoring and alerting, which can be invaluable for larger websites or hosting providers.

cPanel:cPanel also offers resource management tools, but they are not as advanced as those provided by Plesk. While cPanel allows users to monitor resource usage and set limits, the lack of integration with more sophisticated monitoring tools might be a drawback for some users.

Verdict:Plesk’s advanced resource management tools make it a superior choice for users who need detailed monitoring and efficient management of server resources.

9. Customization and Extensibility

The ability to customize and extend the functionality of a control panel can greatly enhance the user experience.

Plesk:Plesk is highly customizable.

It was a rough week, so I’m just recovering/ stabilizing. I’m doing a great job persevering through a difficult fall and the idea that I’m sustaining a respectable performance in a grueling graduate school semester even while facing severe housing insecurity just shows how much I’ve grown, progressed, and developed as an adult.

I just dug an Excel sheet out from my inbox from 2020. It’s a database of Dave Matthews songs, concerts, and performance variations, with statistics like song length, etc. My professor helped me make it for me from DMBalmanac.com in my very first computer programming class back during that year. It all seemed so overwhelming to me at the time, and it’s wild how now it all makes so much more sense to me. I’ll be using it for my final project in a class about advanced Linux/ Ubuntu coding and also discussing it in my reflective portfolio class.

It’s a little interesting to try to reflect on all the knowledge and experiences I’ve had so far in life and try to synthesize that into wisdom about how to move forward making meaning in my professional life. We forget that the vast majority of people do not get this much formal education and do not need, want to, or have to put so much formal thought into what they’re willing to do in exchange for money.

This is basically my first official stab at the first draft of the portfolio paper due next Friday. I have a lot of demonstrated interests in projects that discuss preppiness over the course of my graduate career. There might be a better or alternative word for it, but almost every one of my grad school projects has been related to or discussing nodes of interest adjacent to preppy culture. I have two projects about Dave Matthews Band, a project about The Official Preppy Handbook, an internship about Southern Studies/ southern identity, a project about Taylor Swift and recession pop, and a project about TikTok influencers. A published article about ChatGPT, postmodernism, and epistemology, two technical articles about Big Data for higher education, a GitHub about the competitive programming world, a failed experiment in quantitative finance professional certification. Jobs as a data engineer on AirBNB, cybersecurity/ Silicon Valley, and social justice work. And then maybe a few other projects that I can’t remember as well right now.

Plus, core memories of sitting with a hot Baltimore private school guy at the dinner table on my birthday during my first year of grad school, making the professor so jealous that he paused the lecture to comment on my social life, my relationships with two gay men who took erotic pleasure in yelling at me and mocking me when they saw me trapped in a mental hospital years later, with a woman who saved my skin this morning when she let me borrow $500, with Colin, who would probably be both annoyed and intrigued if he saw a full presentation and context of where he fits into my broader social life and has a lot of thoughts about both the preppy and poor white trash dichotomy, and with Austin, who is like Colin but ten years younger. And with Dustin, and with Massachusetts Nick, the Congressional candidate, and with the British guy, and with Chris the porn star, with the classy Salt Lake City guy who stimulated my sexual imagination, with the woman in Idaho who wanted to have a threesome, with more women at Syracuse, with can’t forget the perfectly normal Rhode Island guy who had a beautiful hockey and Harry Styles date with me last fall and who was one of the most objectively caring people when I was trapped in the hospital this summer, and with various OnlyFans stars.

Colin was one thing that stuck out in this list, and I had this idea to reread or re-watch Hillbilly Elegy by JD Vance and use that as a segue to comment on, explore, find closure about everything Colin and I really have to argue about—preppiness, the white working class, and the dichotomies and pressures between the need for money to survive in capitalism and the importance of looking beyond money to appreciate other things like art and social justice. The fact that I could write an entire book or PhD dissertation if I wanted about what Colin and my ended friendship means to me is pretty cool. And I think I should.

I remember from my 2020 internship that there was sort of this dichotomy between Southern Studies and Appalachian Studies, where Appalachia has more to do with poverty and whiteness. And what does that have to do with place in terms of Colin and my relationship to New England, and then my experience of having the most postmodern experience ever in Los Angeles (cf. Edward Soja and Frederic Jameson’s comments on LA) right at the crux of trying to finish my masters degree. And one could throw in my application to a French university job today, fulfilling a childhood dream, and my work on other themes: sex worker justice, Silicon Valley, and whatever you would call the Computational Law Review and my Word document data structures project.

I learned about security clearances, too, interviewed with a major Big Law firm, experienced the digital nomad lifestyle and the present day iteration of intentional communities/ DAOs. Bought my first voluntary bitcoin. Watched my best friend from Georgetown become second in line next to Sam Bankman-Fried.

When I talked about sex worker justice, I was thinking about helping Chris with $50, not about helping Colin with $4,000. He’s not a sex worker, he’s my best friend. Alex Christman is a trans woman ten years later after she complained to me that she was straight and her entire school year of flirting with me never happened, so what Colin can be ten years from now will be entirely up to him, including exactly the same person as he is now. I haven’t thought about Wings Over in a while. I’m probably going to send Chris the $25 he asked for. I like the sex worker’s comments about the nature of work, and I realized when she asked me to introduce her to a sexologist, I can basically introduce her to my life coach from this spring, whose response to Colin was to ask me to think about the erotics of how money changes hands, thinking about making sure my therapists are aware of race and class, and thinking about what it means to try to pursue someone who is not available. I had only thought about her implication that Colin is not available, but I just remembered the whole statement I made "I am not available for these kinds of friendships" that is probably one of the main things Colin will remember about me.

Other things: swishing soft dicks and being tender with Marcus Law, telling Adam Snyder to have a tender Halloween night, Passover and Easter with Jaydan Armour, oh and how could I forget the world’s coolest 18 year old and Tom Holland’s biggest fan, as well as Braden Herrmann whom I will always love very dearly.

My therapist challenged me to come to understand "who is Eoin?" Maybe the Hillbilly Elegy project could be a way to understand how to explain to others why I love this Boston Irish guy so much.

I’m going to ask Gabe if he’s head about Hillbilly Elegy. He’s in Kentucky right now. We only have ever had the faintest, softest hint of flirting. I wouldn’t want him to cheat on his girlfriend.

It’s 2 am when I’m writing this. Smoking marijuana, drinking alcohol, enjoying the beautiful SoCal starlight, and reflecting on the sentimental qualities of life. Just like a Deep Springs College faculty member—in spite of everything.
