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.
I think “FuckCars” is meant to be “FuckCarDependence” but that’s not as catchy. People in those communities are usually pretty open about the fact that cars have their purposes and aren’t evil on their own.
Yeah, I am on team “Fuck Car Dependance” because I hate everything about em - driving, the ecological impact of cars and the society wide inequalities created and reinforces by designing space around them.
But I would be virtually unhirable in my field if I didn’t drive… And there is zero way to fix that even if we managed to dismantle the system of strodes, massive parking lots, low density suburbs, inadequate public transit etc…
Its like floating on an inner tube down a slow meandering creek instead of holding on for dear life to a shitty wooden raft going down Niagara Falls forever.
Its a lot easier to get off and stretch my legs when I need to
I also wish there was more enterprise focused IT community.
The self host is not a replacement for homelab or sysadm.
I can’t even get good information security discussions @infosec.pub. I was hoping there’d be some security ninjas running around. Just a news bot.
I even think about mentioning enterprise Microsoft products, get evil capitalism lectured. I can’t personally change the business world’s IT paradigm. Business world…more lecture coming

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

Basically the same issue as r/FuckCars

Oh yeah, delivering them poems while driving past would be pretty hard without a car ;)
Seriously right?!
What chances have I without
My motorized steed?
I know, it’s really starting to get to be abit much. I get weird looks for liking Ubuntu, for example.
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).
