Flying home today from a on site planning meeting! Such a great time meeting coworkers, sharing some tacos, and planning all kinds of cool stuff! #linux #sysadmin #ciq

What’s one thing you want to get better at this year?

Tech skill, soft skill, or something completely unrelated? all answers welcome.

🔍 Tech Tip Thursday

If you inherit a server, do this first:
- List running services
- Identify owners (or admit there aren’t any)
- Document before touching anything

Future you will be grateful.

One thing I’m learning this season:

You don’t need to sprint every week to move forward.
Consistency beats urgency. Calm beats burnout.

I am excited to share that I have started a new role as a Technical Product Marketing Manager at #CIQ. I am really excited to bring my marketing and #linux experience to the table!

Hello. IT. Have you tried turning it off and on again? #MemeMonday #linux #sysadmin

I was laid off last week. I'm excited to start a new chapter where I can put my knowledge and dedication to work. I believe every chapter closes to make room for something more rewarding. I'm keen to discover the next opportunity. Learn more: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/thechrisshort_chris-short-r%C3%A9sum%C3%A9-activity-7416478485491191808-lyEi #OpenToWork

Somewhere out there is a pull request quietly holding the world together.
LOL!

Weeks like this remind me:

- You don’t need a big launch every week to be moving forward.
- New role. New home on Monday. New routines settling in.
- Grateful — and ready for what’s next.

Ginny’s had a busy day showing the house, running errands, taking a walk, attending meetings, and learning about new work projects.

Quick self-audit you can do in under 15 minutes:

- List running services
- Ask: “Do I still need this?”
- Disable or document anything you forgot existed

Less running = less risk.

Beware of the man who built himself up from nothing.

If you had a free afternoon to learn one thing right now, what would it be?

- new Linux skill
- Cloud / containers
- Automation
- Something completely non-technical?

So, why aren't you? Go do it!

@gangrif better! I give it a B+

@gangrif that was so very lame. I expect higher quality digs from you! Ha!

My pup and I just delivered my homelab server to a CoLo datacenter for the big love! #homelab #linux #sysadmin #proxmox

Some weeks are about shipping.
Some weeks are about learning.
Some weeks are about catching your breath.

This one’s a bit of all three, and that’s okay. Progress doesn’t always look loud.

I've been enjoying sharing for #MemeMonday. So, this felt appropriate!
Open source isn’t just software; it’s a community!

Shoutout to the meme lords who share their GIMP source files so the rest of us can remix with style. Community FTW.

#LinuxHumor #OpenSource #FOSS #SysAdmin

Watching someone explain to a FOSS developer that they've never donated to their project "because it's FOSS" and that, unless the developer implements features X, Y, and Z *immediately*, they will continue not to donate in the future.

Yeah, really convincing.

And this is part of why we can't always have nice things.

🎉 January is already delivering:

✅ New job
✅ New apartment (moving in a couple weeks!)
✅ New motivation

It’s shaping up to be a big year, and its just getting started.

What’s something you’re excited about this month?
