Computers are like onions. Everything is layers built on layers, and every layer makes you cry.

I found the network rack gacha! Assumed it was so niche it would only be found in like Tokyo but there was one around my neck of the woods as well.

This is the cutest thing ever! Look at the little cables and cable management hoops, the PDU, all of it is so well-done!

Okay, I'd like to again ask for help with finding an IT job. Please boost or share with anyone who might know of openings in the Seattle area or remote. I've been searching for 7 months with no luck, and am now unemployed with savings running out soon.

I'm an IT Systems Admin with 10 years of experience, a bachelor's degree in IT, and Comptia A+, Net+, Security+, and CySA+. I've worked with:

Windows Server 2008-2022
SQL and Windows SQL Server
C#
Printer/Scanners
Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Networking and Sonicwall Firewalls
Troubleshooting and Helpdesk, both remotely and on site
And many more general IT fields.

After having another very bad week of job hunting, I could use any help possible to find a decent job in my fields. I've had to deal with 4 recruiter phone calls in a row just today alone that keep trying to throw no-benefit, nearly minimum wage helpdesk jobs at me that would hardly even cover my bills, much less live on. I'm at my wits end, and would greatly appreciate any referrals or such. Anything to get my foot in the door at this point.

On this date in 1993, the IETF published RFC1519 and obsoleted classful addressing.

If anyone talks about Class C addresses, or even A, B, D, or E, their knowledge is thirty years obsolete and they can be safely ignored.¹

2.5 Admins 178: LOTS of Storage

Hard drives are pretty much an enterprise product now, GitHub’s malware problem, and spreading services across different machines and VMs to keep downtime to a minimum.

Since cozy murder came up in discussion, I should probably... shill a book?

"What if Agatha Christie ran Unix cons?"

Unlocking a LUKS-encrypted partition via ssh on Debian 12 Bookworm.

The process for setting up ssh-based decryption of a pre-boot LUKS partition on Debian 12 Bookworm is almost the same as with Debian 10/11, but some of the paths have changed.

Here's what worked for me:

Remember when Elon Musk promised to resign from #twitter, he said, "I will just run the software & servers"?

Turns out he's so powerful, he left their cPanel port exposed so even DDG spiders crawled them for the whole internet to brute-force 😂 #sysadmin #x

My husband is a systems administrator who just got told he has no choice but back to office full time. Any ideas on where to look for a remote position?

Asking for job hunt assistance from any folk in the Seattle area for all you in the PST.

I'm a / tier 2.5 IT tech of ten-ish years looking to relocate to Seattle for work. I've got A+, Net+, Security+, and CySA+ for certs and a Bachelors in IT. I'm just throwing this out there for anyone, mutual or not, for open positions or referrals. On-site, hybrid, remote, all good to me.

I'm looking to go somewhere where I can learn enterprise tech and escape away from Indiana. Any boosts, tips, or LinkedIn contacts/job posts/etc appreciated greatly.

Really trying to move onto the next phase of my life.

Question for people hosting their own email:

(I am not interested in "running your own email is impossible," "email is a lost cause," or other comments from folks who are not running their own email.)

What hosting provider do you use? Bare metal or VM? #ryoms #sysadmin
