Cool. I’m old enough that in middle school I begged my Mom to take to the mall to buy Linux. I got Red Hat Linux from a store called Babbage’s.

I used to love going to Babbage’s in the mall. So many King’s Quest boxes….

If he doesn’t solve problems with chmod 777 then he’s already more competent than the ops teams at my fortune 500 company

SELinux+Seccomp+Containers…

And it’s also so much faster than full disk encryption. Cool little trick the admins don’t want you to know.
