i run cloud infrastructure for a videoconferencing product. i start in a few weeks but i'm guessing i'll be provisioning and setting up reproducible builds for servers, automating deployments and upgrades, writing scripts to run tasks and analyze logs and helping developers automate their build and test cycles
my offer was for 90k and i also get really good health insurance
i also do 1099 work for an AWS consultant in california - mostly migrating people's onsite applications into "the cloud" or helping early stage startups move from their initial software architecture to something cleaner and more scalable
i get paid 70/hr for that
it's maybe like 30% programming, 50% architecting and 20% sysops

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

I'm going for the Linux Foundation Certified Engineer certificate, and will be ready to take it soon.
How much of my time and money have I wasted anons? Is it similar to the CompTIA A+ where all it's good for is for being the equivalent of 6 months worth of experience?

Is that the UNIX penguin?
Does he have a name? I've always just called him "Penguy".
>>55041356
Damn that sounds like good work. How much free time do you have?

You have to be joking!
It's Tux the Linux penguin.
>>55045150
Hmm, I think I like my name better.
He will be forever known to me as "Penguy".

money discussion is not technology discussion
>>>/biz/
>>55045232
Unless that money is BitCoin.
Protip: 4chan has two /biz/ boards. One is /biz/, and the other is /g/, if you make sure to replace all mentions of money or currency with Bitcoin.

Jr. SysAdmin for a webhosting company. Working on earning LPIC-2 and 3, RHCSA and RHCE, then learn a bit more about managing databases and automating deployments. Then I can get the fuck out of webhosting.

This is a flat out lie. The whole reason /biz/ was created was to stop the flood of Bitcoin and dogecoin threads on /g/.
>>55046814
Then that's pretty easy to work around.
Instead of talking Bitcoin->Real_Monies, just talk about going from Bitcoin->DogeCoin or something.

I do. ML researcher. 117k + equities.

Sure you can do that but that should still be on /biz/. Basically unless you are talking about the technology behind Bitcoin it should be on /biz/
