Still very relevant! Doing a job search online produces plenty of results. Even full cloud shops would hire sys admins for managing the OS (mostly large companies that can afford a large staff with specific duties).

Great questions! Syncthing will mark the files as synced once copied, so as long as my script has run to move the synced photos to my NAS, I can delete off my phone (since it will also delete from the destination). It's a push only sync so when photos are deleted out of the sync folder, they stay on my phone until I free up space. Syncthing will only sync newly added files, so if they were already synced it will not copy again, even if deleted at the destination folder. Hopefully this makes sense.

That is great! A homelab is invaluable to developing new skills and maintaining the old. I'm glad this video helped you, that makes creating these all worth it.

Bash and python are what we use most in our environment. Bash for server maintenance/automation and python for managing switches. ChatGPT can really come in handy for solving a logic puzzle or generating code. It's not always 100%, but it will quickly help you get back on track. Spend more time in the logic and how to solve problems vs learning syntax. Of course each environment is different when it comes to scripting needs and some rely on it more than others.

All valid points! The typical Linux Sys Admin is morphing into other job titles, however the Linux experience itself is still very valuable. Not everything is a SaaS solution so being a Linux admin, even in your own Homelab, is a pathway to DevOps. Like you said, "lots of Linux is used in the cloud." Thanks for your thoughts on this topic.

​@@SteeleTech77 Yeah plus a lot of automation is used today esp Ansible and Python. I use the SaltStack in my role as a Sr. Desktop Support Tech and RHEL Workstation Admin which is similar to Ansible, Puppet and Chef. Linux is a foundational skill set but you have to know a lot more than just Linux these days esp Kubernetes and Containers, Virtualization, DevOps tools as well as Generative A.I.

No offence but unless you're a convicted felon, security clearance is extremely easy to get, you literally just have to apply......

@@sportbikeguy9875 You have get sponsored and takes close to a year to be granted one after a lengthy investigation. Plus most Linux Sysadmin roles are asking with "Active Clearances" to fill the role right away. I work in the Defense industry hense why I work with Red Hat.

@eman, do you think that getting a certif like RHCSA Linux + Security clearance is invaluable to get into Government jobs ?

Yes, indeed! A wealth of information at our fingertips. Thanks for sharing.

I agree with you...there are many reasons to get a degree. Not everyone has the opportunity to attend a college or university, so these changes allow for those individuals to not give up, and continue to pursue an IT career by way of certifications and hands-on experience.

@@SteeleTech77 100% not everyone has that chance but alot of people I've noticed think they don't have a chance (eg I never thought in a million years ide go to uni) but there are so so so many more pathways and options and those who outright try to give people an easier path scare me

@@Uncreeperble If anyone is looking at these changes as an easy way out vs using it as a stepping stone then they won't make it very far. Time will tell if this direction is a good thing or not. Thank you for the discussion, all valid and insightful points.

I bought this back in 2019 so it's discontinued now. There are alternatives to it that are very simliar though. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RDL99Q5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

@@SteeleTech77 thank you

Thank you!

Congrats! Resumes are challenging for sure, but you are moving in the right direction.

am from kenya also focusing to study likeyou bro where are you from

Does the sysadmin do all of the security of the computer systems , or theres another assistant thats focused on security?​@@SteeleTech77

Same, but I edited out the part where I pulled out items from the bag and all those cables came with it 😂

Yet you spent time commenting. I guess this video lives in your head rent free now. I wish you well on your future Internet trolling.

@@scottsteele8430 Just doing my part to make you a better UA-camr!!!! 🤣

I haven't paid much attention to metadata but I'll take a look and see what I come up with!

@@SteeleTech77 nevermind that, it simply took a while for Google Photos to actually load the geotag of the pictures uploaded from a synched device

Is it a Samsung? My wife's phone does the same thing so I've also been trying to figure out a solution. For now I just remind her to open the app when I see her photos are not backing up from my script that pushes to cloud storage. I have a Pixel and have no issues. If I come up with a resolution I'll edit my response and let you know.

@@SteeleTech77 It's a Xiaomi phone running on MIUI. The purpose of automatic backup is compromised when it disconnects after closing the app, even with battery restrictions disabled. If you come across any updates on how to keep the app running in the background, please let me know. That would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

@@AldoRaine5 check so android isnt set to put apps to sleep

Thank you for the suggestion. I have been wanting to get back to the homelab series so this will be on the top of my list.

Haha, it's a tough reality

Thank you for the feedback! The Unix world can seem overwhelming, but the operating system is so solid most of the day-to-day administration is maintenance.

Thank you for the feedback 👍

Sorry, just the one 😂

I'm going to start a series on OBS Studio. Monday a video on adding a green screen to a current setup will be released, and after that I'll start from beginning stages. Thanks for the suggestion!

Thank you for watching! Hopefully it wasn't too terrible. I'm busy making more videos and learning as I go. I'd like to think they are getting slightly more entertaining :)
