Hey everyone I'm helping my team find a new #knowledgeManagement platform as part of a big project next year and I need some suggestions!

This will be a internal (non end user facing) #technicalwriting platform for a team of #systemsengineer & #networkengineer ( #systemsadministrator #networkadministrator) We have #ServiceNow knowledge right now but the features are very lacking.

I've pitched wiki.js as a open source, self hosted platform. One of our infrastructure architects is co-testing Microsoft Loop with me right now.

Basic wants/things our current solution is lacking:
Better searching
Page/category heirarchy
Tags/labels (searchable)

Nice to have:
Review due dates
Embedding documents (mostly PDFs)

“And there are plenty of other surprising applications of old Microsoft products hidden in everyday life. In 2024, Windows was at the centre of a controversy across the German #Internet. It started with a job listing for Deutsche Bahn, the country’s railway service.

The role being recruited was an #IT #SystemsAdministrator who would maintain the driver's cab display system on high-speed and regional trains. The problem was the necessary #qualifications: applicants were expected to have expertise with #Windows 3.11 and #MSDOS – systems released 32 and 44 years ago, respectively.”

Many times in my career I've wondered if I should ever have accepted that first promotion to management. Back in ye olde times, I was a #systemsadministrator and a #programmer. Occasionally I am nostalgic for the deep feeling of flow that accompanies working on a problem or #coding.

Today is not one of those days.

For the past couple of days I've been playing with #replit, an application that builds working web apps from your natural language description of features and functions.

Its performance is nothing less than stunning. It's not that it turns out better code than a human would, but rather that it turns out solid, working code faster than previously imaginable.

Beyond that, it is incredibly intuitive about what it is I'm trying to do. The implementation suggests future enhancements, all of which (so far, at least) have been on point.

Right. My school WiFi's firewall doesn't like #LibreWolf. What's the quickest way to find a #SysAdmin #SystemsAdministrator on a university campus?

(Alternatively, what kind of bait will lure them from hiding? I have easy access to Mexican food, muppet socks, and a Linux laptop.)

#SystemsAdministrator tip: remember to clean your maintenance windows regularly!

A mixture of white vinegar and water with a couple of drops of dish detergent works great.

I don't know why it took me so long to realize I didn't really need to do anything special to update my #SonarQube instance. Before I was creating a new container for the upgrade process when I could have been doing it from the “main" container itself 🤦🏼‍♂️😅
