Kyle Rankin wrote a monthly column titled "Hack and /" for Linux Journal magazine for almost 12 years starting in their January 2008 issue until Linux Journal closed for good on August 7, 2019. The column aimed to provide useful tips and tricks on topics ranging from system administration to security to 3D printing to VIM. After he published his final farewell article for Linux Journal, one of the most common questions he got was "what's going to happen to the giant archive of articles?" He realized he had a whole book's worth of material just in sysadmin tips alone. This book doesn't aim to be an exhaustive guide to everything you need to know to be a system administrator. Instead, this book allows Rankin to act as a remote mentor to someone starting out in IT or system administration whether as a full-time job or as a full stack developer. Think of each section in a chapter like sitting down with him over lunch or looking over his shoulder as he shows you a tip to save you time, a tool he found useful, a lesson he learned the hard way, or an explanation of how he'd tackle a project you got assigned. Table of Contents Chapter 1 Sysadmin 101 - The Importance of Learning IT Fundamentals - Leveling Up: A Sysadmin Career Path - Automation - Ticketing - Patch Management - Alerting - Preparing for Vacation - Travel Laptops Tips in Practice Chapter 2 Sysadmin's Toolbox - Filesystem Hierarchy Standard - Scheduling One-time Jobs with At - Sort and Uniq - Tracking Bandwidth with Iftop - Right Command, Wrong Server - Chopping Logs - Shorter Commands - Add Progress Bars to dd - Lock Files with the flock Command Chapter 3 Home Servers - Setting Up Your Network - Setting Up A Home DNS Server - A Local Mail Server - Clustering with Raspberry Pis - Home As Your Backup Data Center Chapter 4 Server Projects - Last Minute Secondary Mail Server - Check Exchange from the Command Line - Migrate to a New Hard Drive - Remotely Wipe a Server - Preseeding Full Disk Encryption - Localhost DNS Cache - PXE Magic - More PXE Magic Chapter 5 When Disaster Strikes - Stop Killing Your Cattle - Troubleshooting High Load - Troubleshooting the Local Network - Troubleshooting Remote Networks - Troubleshooting with Telnet - Collecting Server Metrics with Sar - Dynamic DNS Disaster - Troubleshoot Full Disks - Hard Drive Crashes - Recover the Master Boot Record - Restoring Deleted Files Appendices A My Favorite Infrastructure Sample Chapter: https: //kylerank.in/bohs_lacc_sample_chapter.pdf
1968 was an unprecedented year in terms of upheaval on numerous scales: political, military, economic, social, cultural. In the United States, perhaps no one was more undone by the events of 1968 than President Lyndon Baines Johnson. Kyle Longley leads his readers on a behind-the-scenes tour of what Johnson characterized as the 'year of a continuous nightmare'. Longley explores how LBJ perceived the most significant events of 1968, including the Vietnam War, the assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr and Robert Kennedy, and the violent Democratic National Convention in Chicago. His responses to the crises were sometimes effective but often tragic, and LBJ's refusal to seek re-election underscores his recognition of the challenges facing the country in 1968. As much a biography of a single year as it is of LBJ, LBJ's 1968 vividly captures the tumult that dominated the headlines on a local and global level.
Give Methods a Chance offers a unique multimedia introduction to research methods. This volume, which builds on podcast interviews available at TheSocietyPages.org, introduces readers to some of the most creative, exciting, and influential researchers in sociology. These stories from the field are designed to demystify the research process and show how methods are put into action. The text and complementary podcasts offer a distinctive, first-person window into how sociologists generate knowledge: the fun, the headaches, the workarounds, and the care and passion needed to get things right. This volume is organized into four sections: Interpretive and Qualitative Methods, Explanatory and Quantitative Methods, Mixed Methods, and Innovations. The first section engages scholars who employ an array of qualitative approaches to better understand the social world. In the second section, Green and Lageson bring together scholars who use quantitative approaches to transform the social world into analyzable data sets. The third section highlights scholars who use multiple methods within a single study, often drawing on both quantitative and qualitative data, and employing elements of the exploratory, descriptive, interpretative, and explanatory. In the final section, the authors look at new and exciting methodological innovations with a group of scholars pushing the field forward, using new technologies to gather previously inaccessible data, examining new virtual communities and online spaces of communication, and employing methods from outside the discipline in creative ways. This straightforward organizational scheme will map seamlessly onto existing texts and syllabi in research methodology, introductory sociology, and capstone courses, while the content uniquely conveys the voices of researchers.
