A Sysadmin for Hire

@NotYourSysadmin@infosec.exchange

Imperfect ally, but I'm trying my best. This is an LGBTQ+ safe space. Posts auto-delete after 90 days.

Proud resident the Twin Cities. Liberal Christian. Partner to a kick-ass woman who is smarter than me and has the PhD to prove it.

For money, I am a writer of all things #IaC as a #DevOps engineer, although I'm currently between jobs. #getFediHired

For my sanity, I'm also a fan of:

#dadjokes
#puns
#LEGO
#cycling
#pf2e
#boardgames
#urbanism and urban planning in general

I boost all corgis (then share them with my partner), the odd assortment of tech humor and terrible puns, posts from folks seeking employment, things relevant to MN or US current events (being careful to avoid a large degree of negativity), and the rare political hot take. I hope to provide a place where everyone can feel welcome, be comfortable being themselves, and smile after leaving.

@nicr9@techhub.social @wendythedruid@thistlenfern.org Holy crap, that's insane. And that's the default Azure provider for TF converting the resouces to ARM?

@wendythedruid@thistlenfern.org No, I've always found CF to be really inflexible and difficult to deal with as well. One major project we were trying to work through at my previous place was lots of tech debt paydown, part of which involved migrating a generation of CF-managed infrastructure to TF. Incidentally, it's a quite involved process to get CF to release management of infrastructure without destroying the resource involved. I will neither confirm nor deny that we triggered some PagerDuty alerts in that process. 😅

@rk@mastodon.well.com @hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange It's the perfect storm, isn't it? Garbage candidates applying for jobs that they're not qualified for with resumes that aren't real, wasting companies' time and putting them off hiring, while the actual folks that know the job are getting shoved to the bottom of the stack because our resumes can't pass the AI filter before a human ever looks at it. Gotta love a system that both parties hate.

@CrabbyIT@infosec.exchange I mean, if you're looking for a senior sysadmin, I might know a guy. If the Powers That Be let you backfill any of the roles, that is. 😅

@jasonrush@social.horrorhub.club @nicegnome@social.horrorhub.club Isn't "24x7 snoozing" one of the best perks of being a corgi?

@hpcgal@mast.hpc.social I had a real inclination to share this post, but I'll eave it alone for now.

@nuintari@mastodon.bsd.cafe I just respect someone who thinks there's a right way and a wrong way to build things and loudly announces it. And Dax puppy. I'm always here for cute doggo friends!

There are few better cures for a depressive episode than a TTRPG session. New players, good friends, dinner, and dice rolls. Sounds like a great Friday to me!
