I’m Eric “IT Guy” Hendricks, a Technical Product Marketer who turns open source, Linux, and infrastructure work into stories people actually understand.
First week back at @gitLab, done.
Forty tabs, too many acronyms, and a calendar that filled itself by Tuesday. Coming back somewhere you know is familiar and brand new at the same time.
Weekend plan: nothing with a keyboard.
#GitLab#NewJob
#TechTipThursday: you didn't actually lose that commit.
git reflog
Every place HEAD has been, even after a bad rebase or hard reset. Find the hash, reset back to it.
Git almost never forgets. It just stops telling you.

.@FrameworkPuter has no storefront. What it has is a laptop that ships with #Fedora on it and a screwdriver in the box.
Michael Tunnell joins us on Fedora Podcast 61 on the Laptop 12 and the Fedora KDE preload.

Starting somewhere new? Keep a list of everything that confuses you in the first month.
By week six you'll stop noticing any of it. That list is feedback only the new person can give.

First day back at @gitlab!
It was a rough few months getting here, and a lot of you helped with intros, reposts, and kind words along the way. Thank you. It mattered more than you know.
Now to go find out where they moved everything!

Stop drowning in logs:
journalctl -p err -b
Every error from the current boot, nothing else. Add -u nginx -f to follow one service live.
Logs are like receipts. Useless until you desperately need one.

New IT Guy Show is live, and this one is about a tool a lot of us LOVE: @Bitwarden. Why an open source password manager actually matters, self hosting, and how it holds up for a whole team, not just your personal logins.

I'll be on the radio this morning!
I'm joining Noah Chelliah on Critical Thought (News Radio 1310 KNOX) to talk about passwords and technology; I should be on around 10:06am Central! We'll be talking #passwords and #bitwarden!

Dear @RedHat,
We know its mutual: I miss the community, the mission, and honestly the work. You miss having someone who can explain #RHEL to a kernel engineer and a VP of Infrastructure in the same breath!
What do you say? Let's talk.
