To me it feels like a matured Reddit. (At least most of the time πŸ™ƒ)

I'll bite, I miss the sysadmin and msp communities. I didn't post much ever and won't ever, but I learned a lot there over years. I'm not getting that here, and it's pretty much why I was on reddit.

As a sysadmin, I handle windows, cloud, Linux, networks, BSD, and more daily. But the "Linux desktop is best" crew are more cult than community & my personal desktop is Linux, which I like, but it's not the answer for my parents, my partner or most of my friends or clients.

I gloss over American politics since I'm not American.

I don't hate cars. But I'm an advocate for walkable cities. I love cars in fact. I would quit my job if I could earn enough just restoring cars slowly all day.

But I'm still here. So that's also a statement.

Also used to work for a MSP as well.

I've been in MSP for 15 years now and honestly it's so love hate. The variety and change is awesome but the cowboyism keeps me up at night in sweats.

I'd never be able to learn so much anywhere else, but because it's msp I've got no proof I know it (no training or non expired certs).
