OK, English is not my 1st language and I might still stumble from time to time on the most complex constructs but, still, I would have thought that "it cannot be done" was clear enough.
Dear dev, ain't got anything against you... but...

A client's server was getting flooded and it looked like Bytedance's crawler was a major culprit. Always pleasing to find a new source of robot hell. #sysadminlife

A hosting provider in the US is having an outage on its customer portal. It is telling its customers every hour that the portal is still down. This mail is creating a new ticket on our helpdesk every hour. We can't tell them to stop sending the mail as their customer portal is down... #sysadminlife

@ru @rf @russian_mastodon Уважаемые системные администраторы! От всей души поздравляю вас с днем системного администратора! Пусть сервера стоят столпом в надежных дата центрах и поднимаются от одного лишь взгляда, витая пара пусть не рвется никогда, а пинг всегда и всюду был 1мс! #sysadmin #sysadminday #sysadminlife

Today I have been mostly doing my first EL 7 to EL 8 upgrade, on a dev server that would be better upgraded with a lump hammer. #sysadminlife

Would you eat a nine year old sandwich that had been that been out of the fridge for four years?

Ich hab mich aus dem Urlaub schon 2x am Router zu Hause eingeloggt, nur um zu sehen, ob er läuft und wie lange. #stromausfälle #unwetter #tirol #sysadminlife

I just know that troubleshooting my weekly #masto #maintenance cron job is gonna be the death of me. I discovered it did not run at 1am on Sunday morning as scheduled. #sysadminlife.

The “automation and management via dynamite and chainsaws” that looks like it’s working correctly hurts my soul, but for an “emergency get this shit working” thing I’m happy, and know what we need to focus on to start turning this into something a little more surgical.

One thing leads to another and now I have a much nicer VM template & deploy setup but still no new web server and now I am remembering I never actually cleaned up the domain spreadsheet.

It would be nice if a week could go by without my boss's boss belittling the work I do when if he had to do my job for even a day they'd find him curled up in the fetal position, weeping and begging for it to be over. #SysAdmin #SysAdminLife

I have persuaded all to put the new server in the best possible place in 30 min flat, with the remains of a migraine - can I has cookie?

My entire life functions in UTC. This is my most hated day of the year.

Why are my defined security groups breaking the formation?
