I Don't Know - 2024

IDK
Page content

As I start to get better in finding things I’m good or not so good at, it makes sense to start to identify the items that I should at least get some peripheral knowledge of over the next year or so.

This is an list that will consistently be updated and will lead into the 2025 list.

If I find any details about any of these topics, then I’ll try to make a blog post about them.

Kubernetes

I read about it, but just don’t know enough about it. I really should learn more about it.

The official tutorial looks to be pretty good.

I’ve also acquired a few Raspberry Pi 3Bs that have been configured with Ansible with a base setup. I now need to find a service or tool to use with Kubernetes.

Networking

When I went to school, I cared more about Electronics and Programming, and with that went into more embedded systems development. I really skipped over most of the “internet” stuff.

I see lots of talk on the internet about the CCNA certification but this will probably be overkill.

There is a pretty good playlist from Jeremy’s IT Lab but it is ~119 videos long. So maybe a short summary would be better, or I just hack through it.

Serverless

I don’t really understand the concept behind serverless computing too much. I think it is like an event or callback process, but can’t really explain it more. There is no Operating System below it. It is just a script that runs when an action occurs.

I’ll try to find an example and play around with it this year.

Modern CSS

I just have not spent much time with CSS or formatting. I’ve always just used something like bootstrap or tailwind to rapidly get something up and going.

If someone handed me a *.css file, I would fumble pretty hard for a little while. Maybe I should be able to find a small static website project and properly update. Hey, even this TIL blog would be a good place to start.

Web Security

Tell me more about HTTPS or SSL or TLS and I’ll listen. I manage a few sites that have it, but no idea how it works or how to implement it from the ground up. Everything I’ve worked with has been inherited.
