Unsung Heroes - SysAdmins are Recognized on System Administrator Appreciation Day

System Administrators keep your computers computing, your printers printing, your servers serving - all while keeping critical systems online. You may not always see them in action, but behind the scenes they route communications, deploy critical servers, and secure protected information. On System Administrator Appreciation Day, we recognize all of those brilliant individuals that manage the world's infrastructure.

Thanks for including me and thank you to all the real SysAdmins out there!

[cavummusictheory]

it's crazy that this video comes out today, because im working on becoming a sysadmin, and it's my birthday, wild stuff! thanks for the vid as always, everything you make is extremely useful! thank you for all you do, as a video creator, and as a prior sysadmin!

[developerjavalinux]

I will always thank the teachers for insisting that I learn infrastructure even though I was a terrible student. I never forgot that knowledge and everything I did afterwards was thanks to that discipline. Sysadmin is a fascinating profession.

Nobody ever give sysadmin the appreciation they deserve, so i will learn the entire vertical structure required in IT and run my own company, do not take disrespect or stay in the shadow when you do literally everything.

[Jordan-hzwr]

It’s good to be appreciated by someone Jay. Usually the only time we hear from anyone is when something goes wrong.

It takes me longer to close a ticket in our terrible ticketing system than it takes me to resolve the problem listed most of the time. Please don’t put in a ticket just to say “Thanks!” for SysAdmin day. And a phone call isn’t much better. However, a simple email works great. Even better, obviously, is an actual, tangible gift, but in the absence of that, a simple email is sufficient.

[jeffherdz]

I have been here for 3 years now. I have never had my desk phone ring. I get emails, but never a ring. Not even sure why I have a desk phone. LOL...

Linux systems admin.

[SR-zipw]

Been sysadmin and dev so thank you myself for all

[donaldmickunas]

Perfect timing. I was working through an issue with Fastmail. I tacked on my appreciation message to another response. Great video BTW.

[wolfpoker]

Indeed, the heroes reporting for pagerduty!

[sweddyvanhalen]

You forgot one important thing, buy them a coffee. We all love coffee.

[liquidmobius]

Your shirt 😂 I love it! I need sudo apt install vacation

[rtothec]

If they do things right people will assume they don’t do much if anything at all.

People only notice when shit goes wrong.

[diablobarcelona]

I've been a Linux administrator for over two decades (and in IT over 35 years). I couldn't give two 5h!ts about being patted on the back, given a cake, or sent some dumb email telling me I''m appreciated. Just pay me, and rate rise me each year, and when I save the day kiss my ...

"They all hate printers"
Lmao sooo true

[ushilives]

Is PopOS still your choice of distribution?

[henokhsatrio]

I used to work as sys and network admin in a small hospital, but they literally didn't see me working if I don't code/build app for them. They want programmer. I can't code

[PaulaXism]

I'm good.. just as long as the supply of coffee.. instant ramen.. and the occasional reasonably up to date manga gets thrown through the grating I shall just carry on.

Does the sun still come up in the mornings or has that global warming done for it yet?.. I haven't been out of this basement in decades...

[JohnnieWalkerGreen]

My two 2-cent tips:
1) You should put the date "28 July" in the title.
2) You should post this earlier because only some people check the YouTube feed every minute. Also, in some parts of the world, it might already be the "29 July" when this is posted.

You call him "Jaw"? To hell with sysadmin appreciation, learn to pronouce your cohost's name for heaven's sake 😂 to hear how "João" sounds, use Google translate's text to speech in Portuguese.
