This blog is for sysadmins, by a sysadmin. The topic is dealing with users. See the about page for what I mean by the title.
Basically, I want to give you some ideas on how to deal with people in a positive way. What better way than with counterexamples? My main counterexample is Naldo, or Reginald Millefois, rogue sysadmin. He’s a fictional character, honestly. Maybe counterexample isn’t quite the right word. Let’s just say he’s an example. Of what, I’ll let you decide. He’s not a BOFH. He’s much more nuanced, ethical, and pragmatic, and perhaps that will be his downfall.
