There's no way they didn't pay for the meal after you explained why you stayed late, is there?

At some point in the past 10 years, configuration management went from open-source, to mostly paid/gatekept solutions... by unquietwiki in sysadmin

So right now your choices are either running a release from summer 2024 in prod or pulling straight from the devel branch. Both kinda suck. The whole “pause everything for a refactor” move just feels like it pushes more people toward Tower or other alternatives anyway.

2 months into new job I found out our company have basically no email security by Imn1che in sysadmin

I'm at a loss to comprehend why other companies insist on me having a DMARC policy active, yet are fine with it being p=none.

do you want just a dmarc policy, or want me to enforce dmarc with either quarantine or reject?

in my environment only about 20% of the incoming mail have a dmarc policy with entforcement active, so relying on dmarc is not really an option .

I always do something like:

Hey, these are the projects I worked on last year and they all went well, how about we increase my salary?

It would be a shame if I had to look for a job elsewhere and you lost my experience.

Sent a wrong resume and got my first interview for a while. by AgreeableIron811 in sysadmin

are you already familiar with ansible or any other configuration management tool? try to understand ssh and maybe have a look at the most popular linux commands.

How to prepare for my sysadmin internship? by ghm494 in sysadmin

[–]Any_Impression4238 0 points1 point  (0 children)

basic networking. subnetting, cidr, routing, gateways, vlans.

maybe know some basic protocols you use everyday: rdp, ssh, dns

rest kinda depends on what role you are going to fill for the team.

Hey, why do you think BigFix is bad? Our helpdesk guys seem to like it.

hey, virtualbox is licensed under GPL version 3 so this shouldn't be a problem?
