TIL: making the network ports blink

With the following ethtool command you can make an individual network port blink.
Can come in handy with the ever changing interface naming conventions of newer Linux distributions.

ethtool -p <interfacename>

Extending a LVM partition

Recently I needed to extend/increase a LVM partition to give it more space:

  1. Create a partition on the additional disk: cfdisk /dev/sdb
  2. Create a physical volume on the partition: pvcreate /dev/sdb1
  3. Add the physical volume to the existing volume group: vgextend vg-foo /dev/sdb1
  4. Extend the logical volume to use 100% of the new free space in the volume group (and directly resize the filesystem accordingly): lvextend -r -l +100%FREE /dev/vg-foo/lv-bar

The Work Moved

The work moved. It didn't disappear. Whether your organization thrives or drowns depends on whether you've moved with it upstream into design, specifications, guardrails, and the messy human work of reducing ambiguity, or whether you're still standing where the code used to be, wondering why everything feels faster and worse at the same time.
