Would being a Linux "power user" increase my chances of getting a job in IT/tech? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] ephemeral404@lemmy.ml 20 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (4 children)

If you're applying to work with my team. A big Yes.

Seeing a developer use Windows is a big turn off, I can clearly see all the future dev environment problems I'd need to assist them with.

And if you understand linux permissions, the architecture, bash, common tools, etc. I can envision how you will make the dev experience better for everyone and contribute to fix any deployment issues. Unlike windows, you won't be introducing ovearching solutions to problems which can be solved with a simple bash script.

Yes, RudderStack has all Segment fratures and a good replacement of the same. I never knew if Matomo has GTM functionality, I thought it is more like Google Analytics.

RudderStack - An Open-Source alternative to Google Tag Manager in c/opensource@lemmy.ml

Glad to help. Can't wait to see you purge that last piece of Google code.

RudderStack - An Open-Source alternative to Google Tag Manager (github.com)
 

With recent GA4 migration, my friends are exploring better ways to integrate various essential website scripts(e.g. product analytics, crash reporting, advertising, customer engagement, etc.). Google Tag Manager (GTM) is one solution.

RudderStack is a mature Open-Source alternative to GTM that can be self-hosted and has similar functionality i.e. load various product scripts without changing code and send events to desired destinations

Top 5 reasons to replace GTM with RudderStack

  • You get full-control of your customer data while making the site/app load faster as you don't have to load multiple scripts
  • As you can load and manage scripts via a central dashboard, it becomes easy, quick, and less error prone to replace any particular script with its alternative e.g. replacing Google Analytics (GA) with GA4 or Mixpanel
  • It is OSS and not owned by Google
  • Tranformations: Transform the events(using your own JS/python code) the way you want before reaching the destination e.g. remove personally identifiable information, enrich event data with some 3rd party information
  • Can send customer data from website and mobile apps(using RudderStack SDKs) to warehouses(Postgres, S3, Redshift, Sbowflake, Bigquery, etc.) and 200+ destinations

#OpenSourceDiscovery 78 - ntfy.sh, send notifications from cli/api/app (opensourcedisc.substack.com)
 

This week's issue of newsletter - #OpenSourceDiscovery  covered… ntfy.sh

A simple HTTP-based pub-sub service to send notifications to your phone or desktop via scripts from any computer

📺 Demo: https://docs.ntfy.sh 

👨‍💻 Source: https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy 

🛠 Stack: Go, Javascript, FCM, Amazon SES, UnifiedPush

👑 Author: Philipp C. Heckel

🛡 License: GPLv2

💖 What I like:

  • Easy self-hosting thanks to plenty of installation options and minimal configurations required to get started
  • Ability to attach files to notifications enables a huge number of use cases for this service

👎 What I dislike:

  • Good for personal use case (when I as an end-user want to get notifications) but better tools are available for developer use case (when I want to send notifications from my app to users at scale)

Note: This is a summary of this full post
