I used to do a decent amount of sysadmin stuff in my last job, now I guess I am just a hobbyist.
Sysadmin/syseng/devopsy with the hobby in computers. Yea, I'm fun at parties.
End user compute / application packager, so yeah, guilty.
(No, I won't look at your printer)
Are those just fancy words for help desk? You install computers for end users and applications on those computers?
It's the automation that makes it different, I guess... Rather than clicking next on an installer, it's tweaked and silently handled across thousands of computers
DevOps now, sysadmin for 20+ years. Have a home lab. ๐คท
I'm getting into the hobby. Just picked up an old Supermicro motherboard with a pair of dual-core Xeons for a home server
Definitely not. I work in healthcare.
DevOps here, been a sysadmin since the 90s.
Depends on the day which hat I wear. Sys Admin, security and whatever else the job entails.
Electrical engineer here
I was a systems analyst in a previous life. Now I'm just tech support for family. The pay is shit in comparison, but the stress is much lower and no one promises me a promotion that they never intend to keep.
Used to be a system engineer / admin.
Then i took an arrow to the knee.
Now i do agile stuff and paperwork :) .... a lot of paperwork
I'm a fullstack SWE, but I do a lot of sysadmin-y stuff in my spare time.
Hobbyist with a homelab.
Hobbyist. Run a Lemmy instance, self host many things for myself on my server at home. But I don't work in the industry at all.
Hardware systems architect, formerly network and systems engineering, 30 years of admin experience, and three software development jobs. My home has minimal tech in it- a file server, four wifi APs, a router, and an H/A DNS pair. It's all IPv6 internally, though. I refuse to let tech ruin my life any more than it needs to at this point. ๐
This particular community? I just have it as subscribed, so it shows up on my feed ๐คท.
Just an admin thogh, don't have what it takes to be a sysadmin ๐.
I'm a Sr Sysad
My title is software developer, but I do handle server setups for the company's infrastructure. I also manage the code release.
As a hobby, I do maintain personal servers here and there.
Fullstack developer here. I only maintain the servers I need to do hobby stuff.
System admin for the first 6 years of non manual labor career. Freelanced at the same time...
Dev, now, but lots of inexpensive tech in my home... Including a Debian server running on an old Dell Pentium 4.
Work in finance, but I have a degree in computer science! Been a hobbyist since my early teens running game servers and the like for my friends. Never persued tech professionally but it's definitely helped a few times in my career. Just helped our web dev guy a week or so ago on getting our office's public IP so he could block it from showing up in his analytics. For now I'm content running my home lab :)
Iโm an IT & business guy but not a sysadmin. IT Analyst, Sales Operations Manager, stemming from a Management Information Systems background.
