  • Same here. I do 100% remote but many of our customers have hybrid models or even total freedom and some people choose to go tue-thu to the office. Especially younger people, without family, and living in smaller apartments in city centers (bad wfh setup, not enough space, roommates).

  • I can't say if it's intentional or not, but there's a lot of "don't ask" in many guides (and even in first level responses here, just telling with button to press but not what happens under the hood).

    There's a bunch of windows internals books from Mark either as main author or co-author, here's a good place to start: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/resources/

  • I think it's the same as with Linux, solving problems slowly gives you familiarity with the system and you start knowing where to look for things. Generally speaking, Windows is way more centralized than Linux.

    Half of the things you listed for Linux are optional (selinux, networkmanager, systemd,...) and different distros (or different programs) use different solutions. I still remember moving from sysV init to systemd or from /var/log to journal, to give a few examples. To this day I can't stand storing coredumps in the journal, although I understand the rationale behind it. You get the idea.

    Same as with Linux, I started Windows admin with NT 4.0 so over time you learn things (and re-learn as needed) as you solve problems. There are sysadmin trainings that go a bit deeper. I like Mark Russinovich and his tools and books, you can look into them but it's subjective.

  • Even 6 quarters are a tall order to move out of the cloud, depending how much of the managed services you use...

    We just need some better European CSPs, ionos or ovh could become it, but they're not there yet.

  • Not Eastern ones, Chinese specifically. Japanese or Korean science is generally trusted, but dictatorships have a tendency of making shit up to look better. We'll believe it when we see it.

    China has plenty of achievements, but also plenty of bullshit vaporware. We'll see which one this is.
