trying to learn about things that will be needed in new role at work before i formally move over

today’s thing is trying to fill in some gaps around postfix given a recent incident

…doing a quick search through the unread stack of PDFs from various humble bundles, with the most detailed being one where the postfix subchapter starts with “this is a fast moving application making it difficult to write about, the latest major version is 2001.something …”

and yep, the book is from 2002

I’m a little surprised the Linux+ book’s only mention is “yep, this is a thing that exists!”, but on the other hand, I suppose the A+ was random about what was detailed and what wasn’t when we did that a decade ago

(i have still yet to forget that the number of pins on a floppy disk drive connector is something they saw fit to still be on the curriculum in 2014)

@Felthry the CompTIA A+ IT certification, a test that you know the basics about hardware and software
