    I was a systems analyst in a previous life. Now I’m just tech support for family. The pay is shit in comparison, but the stress is much lower and no one promises me a promotion that they never intend to keep.

    This particular community? I just have it as subscribed, so it shows up on my feed 🤷.

    Just an admin thogh, don’t have what it takes to be a sysadmin 😔.

    I used to do a decent amount of sysadmin stuff in my last job, now I guess I am just a hobbyist.

      Are those just fancy words for help desk? You install computers for end users and applications on those computers?

    My title is software developer, but I do handle server setups for the company’s infrastructure. I also manage the code release.

    As a hobby, I do maintain personal servers here and there.

    I’m getting into the hobby. Just picked up an old Supermicro motherboard with a pair of dual-core Xeons for a home server

    System admin for the first 6 years of non manual labor career. Freelanced at the same time…

    Dev, now, but lots of inexpensive tech in my home… Including a Debian server running on an old Dell Pentium 4.
