Next post, how I recovered the database of SSSD when I deleted the whole path /var/lib/sss/ by accident. 🥲

Moreover, to enable secure external access, I configured a bridge acting as a switch to assign static IPs to the login node and a bastion node.

The bastion node will verify and admit external connections, enforcing two-factor authentication for enhanced security. All of this powered by #freeIPA

Additionally, I have decided to isolate the computing nodes network from the university network as a very basic attempt to reduce latency in message communications.

Something more or less like this 👇🏼

However, I also need to remember that last July month, marked one year since I was forced to leave my previous PhD program 😖. That unfortunate event deserves its own post, and maybe I’ll start sharing that story soon...🥺

Hey Bruno!

Yeah he brings great contributions to Fortran language and community.

On the other hand, I hope there in BSC, you will have the opportunity to use codes like Alya to work with Fortran.

Thank you!
Yeah I responded the email. Also I received and checked the next ones sent by you, thank you so much!

I just discovered your account, and I'm very interested in attending the course. The registration is now closed, but I sent an email asking for a slot. Is there any chance I could get one?

In the end, modern languages like 🐍 have taken most of the attention in the scientific community.
However, Fortran is still alive and continuously evolving. With great community.

What’s your take on the “old vs. modern”. Have you worked with Fortran too?

Thanks for reading :)

Since then, I've stood by this: Fortran is not dead. It updates, improves, and stays relevant especially in scientific computing where raw performance matters.

It may not be the prettiest language (in fact it is) , but it’s robust, fast, and efficient. It gets the job done without drama.

I first encountered Fortran during my undergrad studies (2010). Many years later, I picked it up again to develop a 2.5D transient electromagnetic modeling code for geophysical applications. I worked on it for the last 4 years and that project shaped the way I approach simulation today.
