Worst: work caused me to lose passion, be stressed/really close to burnt.

Best: I resigned

A client drove 3 hours, for a urgent meeting with me that was solved by me adding CORS-headers

I am looking for testers!

I am so amazed about the ability of the human race to fall for this bullshit.
Companies and governments are wasting their money.

ok, companies that use a robotic automated attendant on on they main phone where you are supposed to describe vocally your problem can actually fuck off and die.

I hate you so much.

I am sorry

I just installed Microsoft Edge on Linux

I am so sorry

One big advantage of being an adult is that you can spend all day before the PC without having parents nagging.

One year ago, I quit my job in order to "make life easier". And by that I mean work+home in the same city. I went from 40 minutes commute - to 3 minutes. I had a blast the first week.

Then I realized that it was actually a mistake. I did not like working with "that kind of systems" and "that kind of tasks". It was tedious, stupid, and I was angry every, single day because the previous ones had built a system on 10-15 year old hardware because "it is cheaper".

That continued for a year. I discovered new stupid "solutions" every week that was potentially dangerous for the company. It built up a huge pile of shit and I started to feel that my mental health was disappearing, fast.

And equipment such as servers, switches, routers, storage started to fail because of age. Despite my warnings from day 0 to the CEO who only kinda laughed it off and said "you can to solve that", but I never got the approval to actually buy the equipment that was needed. Because "the company did'nt have the money for it". Somehow, the company had the money to buy expensive cars for the CEO - I can't really figure out that equation.

So today, one VERY old UPS died at our office. It caused some powerspike that killed off some switches and a NAS.
"Whatever" I thought, I just have to find the backup of the files and get a new one.

Then I discovered, that the NAS that acted as a iSCSI target for VM's and document storage was backed up using VEEAM on another server - that was configured to backup everything to the same NAS. I just wanted to cry, because I could not take anymore shit.

So I picked up my phone, called my old employer and asked if I could start working for them again. My old boss got insanely happy and gave me a great offer which I immediately accepted.

So tomorrow, is the day that I am going to walk into my current boss and say that I will quit. My last day will be on Christmas day. And I will start my new year with a few weeks off, and then back to the job that I actually loved.

Life is to short to work with something you hate.

So I got a new job,

No, my family did not support me.
They complained about everything.
From how "Python was demonic" to how "Working with computer wont save you from the coming tribulation"

Growing up in a religious cult sucks.

So there it goes again,,, I am thinking about quitting again.
I feel that I cannot be the sole sysadmin for a company whose critical IT-infrastructure lives on Life-Support, deprecated software and hardware, and the unwillingness to actually invest it in.

I am running a small - but growing - ceph-cluster at work. Since it is fun and our storage demand is growing each day.

Today, it was time to bring another node online and add another 12TB to the cluster.
Installation of the OS went fine, network settings fine, drives looks fine.

Now, time to add it into the cluster.... BAM
Every Dell machine in the Cluster - Dead.
The two HP-machines is online and running. But the Dell-machines just died.

WAT!?

Couple of years back:
"Hey, lets put all of our custom binaries in /bin"

Today:
"Hey @Linux, I updated my system and now some binaries is gone"

I am kinda pissed because I can't seems to make really small images to the raspberry pi 4

Happy 1600000000

Hmm, I had plans to quit my job, but then the company got orders worth 3 million dollaros and will continue to get every three month now.

Having remote meetings home means that I just have clothes on the upper part.

Me at work:
🎵should I stay or should I go🎶

Why does is smell like piss is the serverroom?

Because the admin got locked inside

I will never consider anyone a sysadmin just because they are using arch linux.

Everything Windows related is unintuitive and retarded.

Quick! Mods are asleep! Post pictures of your saturday-evening beer!

New laptop!

Companies can't use free software?

Well, I just forced everyone to use Nextcloud instead of Dropbox and Google Drive. People did not like it as first but the quickly realized how good it was.

We also moved from skype, teams and slack to matrix.
I am glad that matrix-synapse is so easy to install nowadays!

I am slowly losing my mind and will to live because of this PCI audit, I hate it so much

Nice
I like my keyboard
