A community dedicated to the profession of IT Systems Administration
Honestly, my two comments are
Great to see a place that might take over for sysadmin
Too bad it's on lemmy.ml instead of an instance for sysadmin communities like sysadmin, networking, cybersec etc etc to distribute the load. Having lemmy.ml as a default for communities really hits their instance hard.
Less Windows content than reddit please.
Omg yes for some time now it seems like r/sysadmin has been a shit ton of windows admins complaining about windows server or windows admins shilling windows server. Its gotten quite cringey.
Microsoft really ruins everything
I'd like to see whatever everyone wants to post about, and would also encourage you to be the change you want to see. I'm more into the Microsoft space myself but manage a handful of Linux servers (which I typically never have to bother with unless I'm standing another one up, and our team manages patching), though I'm not sure where good sources of news & updates would be for Linux information.
Good sources? Redhat?
/r/sysadmin and /r/networking lurker/rare poster here. Seems the networking community isnt active at all quite yet
I'm a brand new reddit refugee who has also relied on r/sysadmin (and more niche technical subreddits) for over a decade. The only reason I feel like, professionally, I might be able to abandon reddit safely is because of ChatGPT. Thank you for being here when I got here!
Is there an old.reddit.com version of Lemmy? asking for a friend :-|
One thing the Sysadmin community no longer needs to know about:
My job is horrible, I commute 6 hours each way to my office in the cellar. My boss is useless a wet blanket who's only working muscle is his tongue which he uses to kiss the backside of the attention-seeking, sociopath CEO who won't spend any money because our Windows NT4 infra is "as good as it gets". Being a Sysadmin sucks! What should I do?
If the most common phrase here is "brush up your CV" we have a problem.
It would be nice if this community was more technical in discussion!
LOL
I admit that I haven't spent time in /r/sysadmin a lot these past few years, but it always did seem full of people whining about their jobs.
This and few other subreddits I will miss! Where else will I get real time and/or regional outage details?
Thanks for getting this setup!
One of my first lemmy searches and I found my peeps! Thanks for setting this up.
