DBcare is a new offering from TuxCare, which aims to help administrators avoid rebooting database servers by live-patching them. DBcare is currently in beta, and you can test it out right now. Last year, I had a chance to chat with Jim Jackson about DBcare, and we had a really good conversation about the project that’s still timely today, especially considering the beta test has recently opened up.

CentOS 8 will reach its end of life very soon – after December 31st, there will be no more updates for the popular distribution. If you’re using CentOS 8 in your data center, it’s time to make a decision. In this video, I’ll go over my thoughts about the subject, as well as some possible options for how to proceed.
Thank you to TuxCare for sponsoring today’s video. They have an awesome solution for extending CentOS 8 support through 2025.

Universal Linux Apps/Packages (Flatpaks, Snaps, AppImages) seem to get a lot of hate in the Linux community, but why?! In this video, I talk about why this type of technology is not only necessary, but a good thing.
System Administrator Appreciation Day is a special day of recognition that occurs on the last Friday of July each year. SysAdmin Day is intended to bring recognition to all the hard work that System Administrators perform to keep our systems running. In this video, I discuss SysAdmin Day (as well as many other topics surrounding the line of work) with Joao Correia from CloudLinux, and Brian from Admin Magazine. This was an awesome discussion, so don’t miss out!
I had a chance to sit down with Joao Correia from CloudLinux and Brian Osborn from Admin Magazine to talk about System Administrators Appreciation Day, System Administration in general, and why we need to help our Admins feel more appreciated it.
Recently, the University of Minnesota got banned from contributing to the Linux kernel, and this opens up quite a few talking points about validating open-source code, the strengths and weaknesses of open-source, as well as how UMN got it so wrong.
