Today's tech worker would have quit and launched a startup and have Powershell become the Enterprise "Ansible" add-on of Windows to then subsequently be acquired by Microsoft for [m|b]illions..

Indeed, I run multiple devices via two regionally separated homes and two cheap VPS's .. RaspberryPi, Linux, MacOS and an iPhone all able to communicate effortlessly thanks to TS
If for some reason my Tailscale instance doesn't work at a cafe, last resort is a public cheap VPS where I have sshd listening on port 443 .. to ssh -D localhost:8888 VPS .. and then socks proxy my browser over localhost:8888
Trusted applications can be full of vulnerabilities that allow them to become malicious. SELinux and such can limit the capabilities of such trusted applications to do only what they were designed to do and not execute reverse shells or run Crypto mining software etc..
This post is spot on, I've seen work load spikes caused by crontab spawning of for/while bash loops of grep|awk|sed etc.. processing large input files where the machine would crawl at periodic intervals.
I've been following Brendan since the Sun Microsystems days with his Dtrace book which opened my eyes to the world of system call tracing from user-space to kernel. Linux at the time had a hodgepodge of tracing utilities (SystemTap, Ktap etc..) that usually required kernel modules to work properly. Strace was my goto in Linux back then but slowed down the target binary a lot. Thank the universe for eBPF and Brendan's current books that today we have powerful tracing capabilities in Linux that rivals Dtrace in FreeBSD/Illumos. If you want to understand the internals of an operating system and how things work, without being a kernel developer, systems performance engineering is a way to go.
I've been looking for something like this within my internal network.. I want scrip-table control over DNS.. but I run all Linux/Bsd's and this looks to be .NET are the instructions on running in Linux and/or Docker containers?
