you haven’t seen the state of my server have you
And then sometimes you use a work server to design the pattern for the home server.
Speak for yourself, I did the opposite, use my home patterns to fix stuff at work.
The magic of the bad server is they have an R&D budget plus ops team so some waste while testing is covered, you tend to pay for mistakes on the good (home) server :P
Plus getting feedback from a good team beats a rubber duck XD
My office’s IT helpdesk guy had a similar comic in his office. 3 panels of a guy at his work computer miserable, and the last panel he’s at home on his own computer happy as a clam. So true
I’d expect the work servers to be better because I can’t afford to spend thousands per server, but maybe I’m just spoiled with regards to work hardware.
This is way too accurate. With a buddy I even have what our wifes call playdates, where we are messing around with proxmox, containers and linux distros. We both have some old poweredge servers, laptops, raspberry pies and old phones to mess around with. Nothing useful has come out of that so far, although we’re preparing a lemmy and mastodon instance, so we’re getting there.
If only I was in charge, everything would be perfect. Why can’t those morons get it right?
We got separated from the main frame at work. And got full control for our own servers. Don’t ask why our system runs 100% uptime without errors.
