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.
I’m a fullstack SWE, but I do a lot of sysadmin-y stuff in my spare time.
DevOps here, been a sysadmin since the 90s.
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 😔.
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?
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
My title is software developer, but I do handle server setups for the company’s infrastructure. I also manage the code release.
As a hobby, I do maintain personal servers here and there.
I’m a Sr Sysad
System admin for the first 6 years of non manual labor career. Freelanced at the same time…
Dev, now, but lots of inexpensive tech in my home… Including a Debian server running on an old Dell Pentium 4.
Sysadmin/syseng/devopsy with the hobby in computers. Yea, I’m fun at parties.
You are great fun when the network goes down.

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
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.
I’m getting into the hobby. Just picked up an old Supermicro motherboard with a pair of dual-core Xeons for a home server
