I think my Raspberry Pi's SD card just died. That's what the screenshot shows.

Obviously, it's a backup to a main device.

Je pense que la carte SD de mon Raspberry Pi est morte. C'est ce que la capture d'écran indique.

Bien sûr, c'est une sauvegarde sur un appareil principal.

I think, somewhere on this planet is still Friday.

So, happy #sysadminday!

I started my career as a #sysadmin around 19 years ago, as we called it, anykeyer. A guy who presses any_key during #windows installation.

And here we are in 19 years, in another country, with plenty of experience ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I wish you calm on-calls and stable connections, checked and working backups, and reliable servers!

Sys Administrations, where you at?

Pitching @ansible again to my employer's leadership team and was asked to hash out Windows patch approval (Most of our managed machines are Windows).

Does anyone have any good resources on this? Looks like it *may* be best to set up a WSUS server that the Ansible control nodes talk to, but looking for anything internal to Ansible that may be able to manage patch approval.

Happy SysAdmin Day

Happy SysAdmin Day! Here's to the Linux wizards who reboot reality, compile order from chaos, and always know where the logs are.

Anyone have an up-to-date web server setup guide they recommend?

Need to spin up nginx, with PHP, SQLLite (and maybe Redis). Want to ensure I'm following all modern best practices - I haven't done this in 3 or 4 years.

Preferably with Ubuntu.

Please don't tell me to use Docker

Happy #Sysadmin Appreciation Day to all my fellow admins, engineers and individuals who make it all “just work”.

Hallo ich bin #neuhier und melde mich, weil etwas teilen möchte.

Als alter ITler möchte ich ein Skript teilen, dass dem (Home-)Admin das Leben erleichert, wenn wieder mal ein "curl" oder "wget" bei der Verifizierung eines Zertifikats (#SSL / #TLS) scheitert.
Das kommt nicht so oft vor, deswegen hatte ich immer vergessen was zu tun ist, wenn es mal wieder so weit war.

Das Script prüft welche Zertifikate fehlen, lädt sie herunter, so dass man sie ggf. in die Liste der CAs (certification authorities) aufnehmen kann. Wie das geht, steht in meiner dazugehörigen Doku.

Vielleicht einfach mal sehen, ob ihr es brauchen könnt.

Natürlich #opensource, beschrieben auf https://github.com/himbeer-toni/UserScripts/blob/main/fetch-missing-ca.md, da wäre dann auch ein Downloadlink.

Würde mich freuen, wenn es jemandem hilft!

It's Friday so as told by the prophecy I return with Scraps, my little human-curated #roundup of links to some great #blog posts and other interesting content. The #indieweb, the #humanweb and the #infosec & #sysadmin worlds collide in this week's Scraps: https://fyr.io/scrap/2025-07-25

We're six (6) editions deep with no signs of slowing down. Take a look if you wish. You might find something you like!

Today is #sysadmin day

I uh hate for asking.. but this sysadmin could use a little help in running the services but not in a technical way

Maybe you can also helpout your server admin?

One of those things it's good to know about, but you hope you'll never have to use
