Around 1PM, I tend to hit a slump. I built a midday reset that actually helps. Here’s what it looks like: 1. Mute all my notifications 2. Do a chore like dishes 3. Eat lunch, watch a podcast! Not every day is perfect, but this routine has made a huge difference. How about you?

Just dropped the YouTube version of GitOps for the #Linux Administrator featuring @christianh814.bsky.social. We break down: What #GitOps actually means, why sysadmins should care, tools that help you #automate, scale, and sleep more! youtu.be/2uhIva1siXU #SysAdmin #DevOps #Ansible #ITGuyShow

What is GitOps really — and why should sysadmins care? I jut chatted with @christianh814.bsky.social about escaping 2AM patch cycles, mindset shifts for #Linux admins, and why #automation isn’t just for devs! More guitar, less pager. itguyeric.com/podcast/itg10 #GitOps #DevOps #SysAdmin #Linux
