System Admin Philosophy

10/2023

• Help other people get into system administration.
• Ask for help only after you tried fixing the problem yourself.
• De-botnet others' lives.
• Give example code with simple instructions.
• "Read the docs!"
• Help people understand poorly written docs.
• Tech people can't write, or make docs to save their own life.
• Always back your data up.
• Nextcloud always breaks.
• Use RAID.
• Don't use Docker.
• If you use Docker, use Docker-Compose.
• Make everything as cheap as possible.
• Hate the Antichrist
• Develop baseless angry responses to niche subjects for a personality.
• Get some sleep.
• An old laptop is a great first server for learning.
• An old gaming PC is a great next server.
• A steel rack full of enterprise servers is the goal.
