Is there a better option?

I used to have GNS3 VM run on VMware workstation pro on my Ubuntu system but after some updates, the app kept breaking due to Ubuntu kernel version incompatibility.

I started using GNS3 on Windows, but decided to switch back Ubuntu today. I had the raw file of both GNS3 gui and VM, but different versions. I spent almost a whole day fixing it up, because the github account to get the matching versions hasn't been accessible for some days.

After alot of packages and dependencies update and removal, kernel downgrade I got it fixed and stable.

What other hypervisor that can run seamlessly on Ubuntu that won't break when any kernel update is done?

Tried to recreate a real scenario using script.

I created an empty list of registered_users, where a list of usernames will be saved.
This will check a new username name against a pool of saved registered users.
If the user has not registered he will be prompted to do so, and if the username exists, he will be to prompted to choose another name.
I also checked that no name exists the same by using .lower() method as can be seen in the fifth and sixth frame.

On further (while loops, functions, classes), I will make the script better, but for now the continues.

set vs uniq

While learning Linux, I came across the uniq command.
It reminded me of Python’s set, so I tried both using the same letters to see what happens (check the screenshots).


I created a set with repeated letters.
A Python set:
Keeps only unique values
Automatically removes duplicates
Does not care about order
That’s why even though I typed many letters, Python kept just one of each.


I saved the same letters into a text file.
When I ran uniq, I noticed something important:
uniq removes only repeated lines that are next to each other
To remove all duplicates, you must use it with sort
After running sort | uniq, every duplicate was removed and only unique lines remained.

👉 In simple terms: Python set works like sort | uniq

Different tools, same idea. Most tools solve similar problems but use different commands or syntax. Once you understand one, learning another becomes much easier.
If you’re learning Python or Linux, comparing things like this really helps things click.

I have always connected to my legacy cisco router through console. I recently changed it's position and I tried SSH connection to it from my Ubuntu pc; the connection failed because the router still uses outdated cryptography and hashing algorithms like SHA-1. Ubuntu blocked it for security reasons, but a ping to the management IP was successful.

My router has reached it's EoL, and no longer supported by cisco, so I couldn't update it, but the little cryptography knowledge I learned earlier helped me understand the issue quickly. It’s a good reminder that no knowledge is ever wasted.

I made changes on my PC to allow for outdated hash algorithms, like the one that runs on my router, and the SSH connection was successful.

In production networks, weak crypto is a real risk, which is why vendors and enterprises retire legacy devices. But in a homelab, old gear is still great for learning as long as it’s isolated.

Never stop learning and growing.
No knowledge is a waste.
