Ansible: A beginner’s guide to IT automation | Enable Sysadmin
It’s always better to work smarter and not harder. Imagine that every time you need to receive some important data, you have to repeat certain tasks. You have to follow the same steps over and over and over. Each set of steps takes an hour to complete. Now multiply that set times 10. Who has that kind of time?

Quiet quitting: 9 IT leaders weigh in
You can’t open a newsletter, website, or magazine in the past few weeks without seeing mention of “quiet quitting.” This terminology is misleading – it’s not representative of employees' actions. Boundary setting would be more apt; Work-life balance also fits. What these workers are experiencing is most definitely the cusp of burnout, exacerbated by two years of a stressful pandemic, an experimental year of hybrid work, and a reimagining of what their life should look like.
As Jason Feifer, editor in chief of Entrepreneur magazine, says, “We have a serious cultural problem, which is that as soon as we give something a new name, we treat it like it’s a new thing. Quiet quitting isn’t a new phenomenon, but it’s very real. We’ve spent decades trying to figure out what makes work meaningful."
However, organizations should pay attention to this trend. “If companies have one person coasting or quiet quitting it might just not be the right fit. But if there are multiple people feeling this way across the company, the problem isn’t with the workers, it’s with the system they are engaging with,” notes Feifer.

CISO: A day in the life | The Enterprisers Project
A mentor of mine once remarked: While many people look for a work-life balance, the role of a CISO fits much better if you embrace a work-life blend.

Fedora Devs Plans to Replace DNF with DNF5 in Fedora Linux 39
There is a proposal for Fedora 39 to use DNF5 for software package management to improve performance and user experience.
One of the most important aspects of any Linux distribution is the tools we use to manage software. Of course, we’re talking about the command line tool we use to install, remove, and update the package base.
These tools significantly impact the overall user experience and perception of a particular Linux distro.
So, the APT tool is available for all Linux distros that use the DEB package format, such as Debian, Ubuntu, and Linux Mint. Correspondingly, it is DNF for RPM-based systems like Red Hat and Fedora.
