Out of curiosity. For starters I’m a bit of both
DevOps now, sysadmin for 20+ years. Have a home lab. 🤷
How many of you browsing this community are system admins/hobbyist?

End user compute / application packager, so yeah, guilty.
Radium@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Are those just fancy words for help desk? You install computers for end users and applications on those computers?
flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
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

Definitely not. I work in healthcare.

DevOps here, been a sysadmin since the 90s.

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. 😆

I’m getting into the hobby. Just picked up an old Supermicro motherboard with a pair of dual-core Xeons for a home server

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.

Depends on the day which hat I wear. Sys Admin, security and whatever else the job entails.

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 :)

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.

Fullstack developer here. I only maintain the servers I need to do hobby stuff.
pastermil@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
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 personap servers here and there.

This particular community? I just have it as subscribed, so it shows up on my feed 🤷.
Just an admin thogh, don’t have what it takes to be a sysadmin 😔.

I’m a fullstack SWE, but I do a lot of sysadmin-y stuff in my spare time.

I’m an IT & business guy but not a sysadmin. IT Analyst, Sales Operations Manager, stemming from a Management Information Systems background.

I used to do a decent amount of sysadmin stuff in my last job, now I guess I am just a hobbyist.
