Out of curiosity. For starters I’m a bit of both
I used to do a decent amount of sysadmin stuff in my last job, now I guess I am just a hobbyist.
End user compute / application packager, so yeah, guilty.
(No, I won’t look at your printer)
Are those just fancy words for help desk? You install computers for end users and applications on those computers?
It’s the automation that makes it different, I guess… Rather than clicking next on an installer, it’s tweaked and silently handled across thousands of computers
Sysadmin/syseng/devopsy with the hobby in computers. Yea, I’m fun at parties.
You are great fun when the network goes down.

I’m getting into the hobby. Just picked up an old Supermicro motherboard with a pair of dual-core Xeons for a home server
Depends on the day which hat I wear. Sys Admin, security and whatever else the job entails.
Definitely not. I work in healthcare.
This particular community? I just have it as subscribed, so it shows up on my feed 🤷.
Just an admin thogh, don’t have what it takes to be a sysadmin 😔.
Hobbyist. Run a Lemmy instance, self host many things for myself on my server at home. But I don’t work in the industry at all.
Electrical engineer here
DevOps here, been a sysadmin since the 90s.
I was a systems analyst in a previous life. Now I’m just tech support for family. The pay is shit in comparison, but the stress is much lower and no one promises me a promotion that they never intend to keep.
Hardware systems architect, formerly network and systems engineering, 30 years of admin experience, and three software development jobs. My home has minimal tech in it- a file server, four wifi APs, a router, and an H/A DNS pair. It’s all IPv6 internally, though. I refuse to let tech ruin my life any more than it needs to at this point. 😆
I’m a fullstack SWE, but I do a lot of sysadmin-y stuff in my spare time.
Hobbyist with a homelab.
Used to be a system engineer / admin.
Then i took an arrow to the knee.
Now i do agile stuff and paperwork :) … a lot of paperwork
