yep, the "Lord of The Flies" scenario happened in real life and the kids just collaborated and survived fine https://www.theguardian.com/books/2020/may/09/the-real-lord-...


Are the courses meant only for personal consumption or can/will they be offered to other people? (for ex I have a Linux/DevOps training & assessment platform)


Courses are publicly available. When you generate a course anyone on the app can enroll in it.


I would add private option, even if paid as businesses may want to use for their internal training and not want public

Good luck with the venture


That's fair. It is certainly something we will add if people want it.


With servers, if they have a huge uptime and sysadmins etc are afraid to restart them, then they have "pets" with high liability, requiring Infra as Code https://docs.sadservers.com/blog/destroy-and-deploy-the-joys...


Fedora may be becoming the default for desktops, not for servers (Debian possibly the default for servers).


Actually on servers RHEL is still the default (43% server OS market share), followed by Ubuntu at 34%, Debian at 16% and SuSE at 11%.

No sources cited, and the supposed author churns out multiple articles a day on Linux, gambling, and AI content strategy.

Not sure I'd put any weight whatsoever on those figures!

(and how would they even compare a commercial offering with something like Debian that doesn't even have popcon enabled by default?)


Enterprises love RHEL because of the paid support, even if they never use it, it's "there".


CYA is SOP. gotta have an escalation path or other fallbacks.


Red Hat will also support you using 15 year old versions of Linux if you pay them enough, the military love that.


They're talking about billions of dollars of market share, so how does debian get a mention being free? I'm suspicious of their methodology.

At least the infographics down the bottom are obviously full of slop


Fedora is upstream for RHEL, which is absolutely dominant in the server space some sectors that require enterprise support.


Why do you think Debian for servers only ? Did you use Debian SID or Testing as a desktop ?


Yes, the website is for prospective (and current) clients.

A small annoyance in startup circles is getting feedback about my website front page along the lines of "I didn't understand your hero, everybody should understand in one sentence what you do". Well, no, my clients will self-select as in not everybody needs to understand what "troubleshooting servers" or "devops" is :-)


There is def some luck involved, as in you don't know beforehand what's going to be successful.

"You find a problem in a niche, say accounting for plumbers, and build for that, then you just go and market to these people". It's way better to work on something you are familiar with and you like.


They have saved _more_ than two hours per dev and week. There's a compound factor and now code can be more reliable (less outages or emergencies fixing bugs) etc. Also having a sane working environment helps engineers not quitting, which is very expensive if they are replaced.


Nice, this is like SadServers with a twist, excellent :-)


Thanks! SadServers is great - love what Fernando built there. The main twist here is that the scenarios are built from real postmortems rather than generic server puzzles. The terraform one is modeled directly on the Claude Code incident from last week.

Lots more to come


Suerte! Unrelated, growing up in Spain it always baffled me that identification was based on a photo on your DNI. Stories of siblings or even friends that had a passing resemblance to each other sharing DNIs was a common story.


Spain didn’t really integrate many of the newer innovations in identity verification for a long time. Luckily things are improving, and we’re already working with some great companies there. Saludos!
