In this video, I explore how AI can be used for System Administration by integrating Claude Code. I walk through a real experiment where I tested AI against my infrastructure automation workflow to see how useful AI really is for sysadmins.
Is AI a blessing or a curse? Check out the video to learn more about this experiment as well as my findings.
In this tutorial we build an automated Linux backup using rsync and a systemd timer.
In this step-by-step tutorial, we’ll create a reliable rsync backup script, test it safely using dry-run mode, and automate it using a systemd service and timer so your backups run automatically. You’ll also learn how to prevent silent backup failures by adding a mount check, and how to integrate healthchecks.io so you get alerts if your backup script fails.
This tutorial is perfect for Linux users, sysadmins, and homelab enthusiasts who want a simple, reliable, and transparent backup solution without relying on heavy backup software.

Want to change the look and feel of your Debian system? In this video, you’ll learn step-by-step how to switch desktop environments in Debian, whether you’re setting up Debian for the first time or customizing an existing installation. I’ll walk you through choosing a desktop environment during installation, adding or removing desktops later with “tasksel”, selecting the right display manager (GDM, SDDM, or LightDM), and how to switch between desktop environments right from the login screen.
Whether you prefer GNOME, KDE Plasma, XFCE, Cinnamon, or another desktop environment, this tutorial will help you install, switch, and customize Debian to match your workflow.
Kasm is a “workspace streaming platform” that makes it a breeze to deploy your favorite apps, or even entire Linux distributions. You can use it to create workspaces you can access from anywhere, giving you access to your favorite apps from anywhere. In this video, three different deployment methods are covered, including installation with two cloud providers as well as in Proxmox.

(more…)How might an internal automation solution be built using Ansible? In this video, Jay gives you an overview of the actual automation system used internally within Learn Linux TV – dubbed “Config-a-ma-jig”. He’ll go over his thought process when it comes to its design, which may inspire you to come up with new features for your own solution.
Note: This is a design overview, not a tutorial.
Here’s a handful of links for various things that were either mentioned or directly used within the video:
