I think Ansible and Bash both can go hand in hand. Bash can help you learn how to navigate and automate things without the overhead of having an ansible set up.
But, if you have Ansible configured, automating things with bash and pushing out a bash script or other automation to your entire infrastructure just became a lot easier.

We made it to Friday!
Some of us will be sliding across the finish line feeling like we've been drug on loose gravel for the past four days.

Getting ready for a trip to the Short Track Pancake House.
Reveling in my success at getting XRDP working on Fedora 27.
Nice. Which desktop?
Gnome 3. To make it more usable on my slow-ish connection, I also installed gnome-tweak-tool and disabled window animations.

About to have a quick look at how to setup a NGINX thingy and reverse proxy stuff,
Going to concentrate on how it fits into the network first. Do you just install as another server or does it need to fit between the servers and router. etcI always push to one task per server. So it is its own thing.
You do SSL termination as well?
Yes
Do you do it for more then one site at a time with a single server? Or do you create an individual one per site?
Use one NGINX proxy for multiple sites. That is it's "one task".

This is when you know Monday as fully hit. Got this in my inbox this morning:
"Good Morning,
There is an urgent plumbing repair being made in the building today and tomorrow. This may result in an unpleasant odor.
We have apologize for the inconvenience this may cause."
Well... Monday just went down the drain...
Also, ShadowRun Returns is free on Humble for the next few hours..
Just stumbled across SQL Operations Manager... It looks like this will replace SQL Server Managmeent Studio going forward... Built off of Electron, like VS Code.

Rimworld 1.0 was released the other week.
Rimworld sounds like a convention I really don't want to attend.
Nah we know you... that'd be right up your alley.
Or maybe right around the edges of it.

@DustinB3403 the whole thing is wrong, from so many angles. the meme is wrong because it is making light of the situation, but I would agree that the topic of the meme is much much worse, and is the worst part of humanity. It's sad that it's also true. My opinion as a someone who is heavily involved in my church is that people are people and the church has just as many bad apples as the rest of society.
This is what turns a lot of people off to organized religion. I'd suggest that some non-religious folks see this and go WTF -- they came to my house trying to cram their religion down my throat and now they're all caught up in [fill in the blank].
I think the people that cram it down people's throats are doing it wrong, that that this is very much the vocal minority of "organized religion". Too many people are caught up in judgement, and not enough are caught up in mercy.
It is far more fun to pass judgement than it is to provide mercy.
True... True... but whether you are passing judgement, or providing mercy -- one should always remember that Karma is pronounced, "ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!".

Going to bed now... Get to wake up in 6 hours... let's see if my alarm clock gets me up or not.
Time to wake up
Between my watch and my phone, I managed to get up with no black eyes from my wife, lol.
I'm hoping to [finally] score a new laptop. I got my eyes on one. Just waiting for a big check in the mail... or win the lottery, lol.

Also the reason to always visit the ATM with a trusted friend. When I tried to make a withdrawl, the ATM laughed at me... Then when I asked for my balance, it printed me a coupon for ramen noodles.
Taking wifey in today to have a procedure called crosslinking done on her eyes.... It should keep her vision from getting worse. In about 90% of the patients, after a week or three, the patients start to see an improvement in their vision.

There is like zero world news this morning. And that is news.
/me starts listening for Dolphins to do a rendition of So long and thanks for all the fish...
Back in the saddle again. Think I suffered from a bout of Noro or something for the latter part of last week. Felt better Saturday and Sunday... and well. Here I am again...
Monday... Yay.
