I need to stop even doing the no-brainer tickets for the day. I almost chewed out a client for not knowing how to make her screenshots mail-worthy and then being confused by a 28MB message being rejected.
I was a good boy. I spent 10 minutes rephrasing myself to be inoffensive. I think.

What's that work thing that I keep forgetting about until I run into it while doing something else and realize that I really need to fix that?
Why don't you know?

Sure, I can migrate a Redmine from its 2012 Ubuntu server to a modern machine and upgrade everything.
I am a sysadmin.

Attached: 2 images > "Slightly" mad Yeah, bit more than slightly in my case. But nevertheless, this is a real gem :flan_hearts: [The book](https://mwl.link/run-your-own-mail-server.html) is even better.

In case you were wondering: no, it is NOT safe to do an unconstrained zfs send of the root filesystem to a vmhgfs-mounted filesystem.

I'm not pleased with what is being done to most tasks here, but I do love total perfect CPU utilization...

So, you don't have a DBA on staff because the databases you "administer" are all designed by external app developers and a DBA would have no work? Your databases have been running w/o intervention for years, aren't generating errors? Getting used to everything kinda running slow?
Schedule an annual date to do the equivale…

Customer just asked us to upgrade-in-place their 12yo RoR-based PM app currently running on Ubuntu 12.
Not looking forward to this fun.

I just noticed the existence of mod_md for httpd. That's cool. I wonder if I can make it work.

Fucking Equinix is so damn thirsty.
Apparently they noticed hostility in my latest response to their idiotic survey spam and so what did they do?

6 years and I'm still stumbling across stupid crap done in my hiatus.
E.g. someone partly disaggregated a system of shared SSH configs and keys such that when I made one change needed for slow-rolling updates across 3 dozen intimately interoperating physical hosts, it created a nightmare.
So now I rebuild what I did in 2016. At least I documented it, so it took far less time to fix than to diagnose.

Oh thank you #Microsoft, for noticing 3 hours after you started to break #azure compute for the USGov VA zone that the change was going sideways, and alerting us that you’ll update us in a couple more hours.
Working hard to shed that third 9
