No Starch HumbleBundle includes “How Linux Works”, THE SysAdmin fundamentals book, 3rd edition.
Also includes the “DevOps for the Desparate”, “Linux Firewalls: Attack Detection and Response with iptables, psad, & fwsnort”, “The Linux Command Line, 2nd Edition”, “Absolute OpenBSD”, “The Book of PF” ( I think that’s for the BSD’s ), “Designing Secure Software”, “Practical ulnerability Management”, “Eloquent JavaScript 3rd Edition”, “The Practice of Network Security Monitoring”, etc…
IF you can’t afford the Safari subscription, which I presume would include all of these,
AND you want thorough competence in the fundamentals
THEN you really probably want to know some of these ones.
I’d require the current edition of “How Linux Works” as the bedrock understanding of anyone who wanted to be working SysAdmin or DevOps, anywhere, any time.
This entire bundle is the same price as “How Linux Works” alone is, in my local ebook platform.
Our ignorance costs us, right?
We can reduce the price it makes us, and our world, pay, through more competent knowing of our fundamentals:
don’t allow mistakes, or faulty-process, or malicious-actors, any leverage, you know?
Salut, Namaste, & Kaizen!

Normally I try to learn from either YouTube Videos or Blog post or something like that. Apart from “learning by doing”. But most of the time those posts and videos are only tipping the ice berg and show how you, for example, install Kubernetes, but they don’t go any deeper. That’s why I’m asking, if those books are good.
Yes you’re right. Every book about IT is old as soon as it’s printed. But the core concept is often times the same.
