Calling all /r/sysadmin reddit refugees! (lemmy.ml)

I ~~setup~~ (took over and spruced up, to be precise) this community specifically because of the time I've spent over the years browsing and relying on reddit.com/r/sysadmin for sources of information on tips/tricks, security exploits & patches, outages, and yes even the ranting about how our jobs all suck. (I like mine, for what it's worth.)

Come on down, ask questions, post what the sysadmin community needs to know about, or head in to get either sympathy or chastisement about why you haven't left your job yet. 🤣

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.

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.

It would be nice if this community was more technical in discussion!
