"I’m not saying that a knowledge of promiscuous mode, fdisk, or window scaling leads to misery, but I will say that happy folks have no understanding of any of them."

Dev just messaged me, alarmed: a WordPress plugin's tech support logged into his site and broke everything! 😱
But Dev is sharp, and even at 22:10, he remembered his server runs FreeBSD and ZFS. With snapshots of his site and database every 15 minutes, we rolled back to the 20:00 snapshot, and his site was back up in a flash!
Thank you, FreeBSD! Thank you, ZFS!

Client messages me: "Login isn't working! Fix it immediately!" - followed by a string of complaints about how it can't just stop working "all of a sudden" on a Saturday morning.
I ask for their login details, immediately notice they're using the wrong username, and point it out.
Their reply: "Ok."
Sometimes a "sorry" would be nice. 😂
This is how I manage services on arch btw

Taking a Semi-Truck to Buy Salad: My Manifesto for Simple Computing
🎉 Happy #FreeBSD Day!
On June 19, 1993, an email thread on an early BSD list proposed project names for a new #opensource UNIX derivative. “FreeBSD” was quickly agreed upon from a list of choices, according to @FreeBSDFoundation.
Thank you to everyone who helped shape this #opensource OS and its lasting impact on #tech over the last 32 years! 💻🎂
Sometimes I feel like I don't do that much at work. Then I start a work blog with weekly "what I did" posts and oh wow, I do a lot. That's why I feel stretched so thin sometimes. #sysadmin #systemslibrarian
