So yeah, stay in the regular with your studies. Start practice test early. Try to hammer on things you don't know and figure them out. All in all some advice I've heard before that was worth hearing again.

He studied 4-5 hours a day to achieve his success.
He did this as part of a challenge created by Freecodecamp.
Also, he mentions if you pass the Practioner exam you get a coupon for 50% off your next exam. I'm looking forward to that.

Blog: A Short history of fedora Linux
https://fedoramagazine.org/fedora-origins-part-01/
I learned that fedora is the upstream version of redhat, a place to try out new features and explore new technologies that later become part of redhat.
Also, the logo, which looks something like facebook's, has been around for quite a while.

Blog: Citylab on cheap boring ways to make transportation cheaper
https://www.citylab.com/perspective/2020/03/transportation-solutions-public-transit-bus-train-bike-parking/607471/
A few things I learned from the four points made in the article.
Bus shelters help people perceive shorter wait times, perception drives behavior.
Sidewalks and intersection improvements make walking more attractive and funnel commuters into other modes
my favorite phrase "catalyze mode shift"
let bikes on trains and subways
well considering that many US cities don't have trains or subways, this isn't really a big issue to me. but maybe the cities that do have these services account for a large share of cyclists?
Anyway, they need to talk about money, how can this save money! But instead they need to talk about perception, and compare apples to oranges, the USA to Utrecht. I'm convinced, but I already was. Maybe hearts and minds, I can't be sure.

Blog: What is DevOps
https://aws.amazon.com/devops/what-is-devops/
this amazon blog about devops is kinda markety and slogany but I did learn some things.
i learned about continuous integration and monitoring and logging.
infrastructure as code means you don't have to manually set up server hardware and software, you can just outline in code, let the cloud service do the OS and CPU and config shit.
but yeah a few bits sounds cultish, like taking on so much responsibility that youre doing everything. save that for the rich people, i have to go home and feed my cats every day.

News: We have enough TP
https://www.npr.org/2020/04/03/826945396/why-are-stores-are-running-low-on-toilet-paper-its-not-just-hoarding
The U.S. makes most of its own TP so we are in luck. But the supply chain is messed up. Lots of stores don't keep large stocks of toilet paper, and lots of pulp was going to commercial, but businesses are mostly closed.
we have enough TP but not enough to stop panic buying, so there will probably seem like there is a shortage for a while.
