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!

I always thought the Unix and Linux System Administration Handbook was the book of fundamentals, will probably get the bundle just for the Kubernetes stuff though. Those BSD books are pretty useful too, in that world.
Can someone say, if this is a good bundle to buy? Especially if you want to dig into DevOps and Kubernetes?
I also would be interested in knowing
I wouldn't see why not? Ur getting 22 books at the price of what one or two of them would have cost normally. Imo it's a bargain and as someone who's starting to work in cloud / open source within the next few months I'm defo happy to see this deal available! Have also had really good experiences with the books published by no starch press 🙌
A thread on the site which shall not be named convinced me that a majority of the books are recently published and with above average to highly scored on reviews, so I bought it.
Why the Linux Firewalls book hails from 2007 is a strange outlier.
Because that's the most recent version... The firewall it covers I don't think has changed much in that time though so it's probably fine
No matter how good or bad the books are, their cover art is so cool
Which is the opposite of Manning, got a book from them recently that the cover made me go "what the fuck?!"
Still, those two are my favorite tech publishers, hands down
That is an incredible collection, and includes current versions (a lot of times these have older revisions)
How Linux Works, Absolute FreeBSD, and Absolute OpenBSD are worth way more than the cost by themselves
