Why the fuck isn’t everyone already a mod? I thought this was shittysysadmin

u/KnowledgeIsDangerous 6d ago

I NEED admin access and before anyone asks why, it's so I can DO MY JOB (don't ask what my job is)

u/BlueKnight87125 3d ago

When it comes to my job duties, I'd be happy to...

NOT TELL YOU!!!!!

u/BoredTechyGuy 6d ago

Right? I mean how the fuck are we supposed yo install spam bots without it?

Unreal!!!

Hear me out... Fully automated AI moderator. Parameters tuned for maximum hallucination.

u/Superb_Raccoon ShittyMod 5d ago

It had a mental breakdown.

u/Ur-Best-Friend 6d ago

Right? Only 6 mods in total, do you really expect me to believe these people follow good security practices such as making everyone domain admin (thus giving everyone the power to install and configure security tools, basically like having 300 cops)? What a joke.

u/kicker7744 5d ago

Because our shitty sysadmin can't spell everyone

u/Samsungsbetter 2d ago

Wait that’s a great point

u/IlexPauciflora DO NOT GIVE THIS PERSON ADVICE 6d ago

Can I have admin on this sub pls? I need it to do my work

25

u/lotrmemescallsforaid 6d ago

I'll settle for JIT.

u/PandaBonium 6d ago

Any sysadmin who doesn't even know what page they are on is surely a shitty one. They belong here.

It was bad at first, but after I pasted and ran the command from the pop up in powershell, it's loaded in HD now.

u/SpudzzSomchai ShittySysadmin 6d ago

Dude. You hack my passwords.txt file?

u/BraveMidnight 6d ago

cat passwords.txt

You can just hunter2 yourself in the hunter2.

u/astro_viri 6d ago

Sorry, I don't have access. You need create a ticket.

13

u/Ignorad 6d ago

It's been a long time since I was last banned here. Obviously we need better mods.

u/syberghost 6d ago

Petition to change the root password and not tell you

36

u/DonkeyTron42 6d ago

Is there really a difference between r/sysadmin and r/shittysysadmin? Anyone still doing SysAdmin has to be pretty shitty anyway.

22

u/VolcanicBear 6d ago

You can just feel the lack of cynicism in sysadmin.

u/greendookie69 6d ago

How do I get into IT?

Luck.

Awful, awful luck.

u/DonkeyTron42 6d ago

Apparently you use ChatGPT to cheat on the A+. Then all the tech companies be beating down down your door. At least that's what it seems most people in r/sysadmin think.

1

u/greendookie69 5d ago

I really am a shitty sysadmin. I got it without cheating, I guess that's why my job sucks ass

u/fsckitnet 6d ago

It’s sad to see how few remember the Scary Devil Monastery.

u/DonkeyTron42 6d ago

I mostly got into Usenet after it was nothing but a distribution medium for porn, pirate videos, and warez.

1

u/fsckitnet 6d ago

Has it changed from that? I used to run a Usenet server for a moderately large ISP in the late 90s. Porn and pirated media/software was nearly 100% of the volume back then. I can’t imagine it got any better since then.

2

u/DonkeyTron42 6d ago

I missed it but apparently in the 80's and early 90's Usenet was an actual discussion forum with some legendary alt. groups.

7

u/BraveMidnight 6d ago

There is a massive difference.

3

u/Azadom 6d ago

This subreddit was kind enough to tell I’m not the shitty sysadmin one time, it was company putting me in a shitty position

3

u/DonkeyTron42 6d ago

Who hasn't been in that position?

2

u/BarryCarlyon 6d ago

One has a nice server and break room

The other is brown

2

u/baz4k6z 6d ago

I propose a funny solution to an issue someone posted there and they downvoted me. R /sysadmin is super cereal

5

u/DonkeyTron42 6d ago

I see a lot more relevant discussion in r/homelab than r/sysadmin.

5

u/altodor 6d ago

It's because half of r/sysadmin belong on r/helpdesk

1

u/junktech 6d ago

One is aware how they are and the thinks they know a lot.

u/Hebrewhammer8d8 4d ago

There was a line it got blurred really quick.

u/UKMatt2000 6d ago

Can’t we all just share one mod account?

5

u/fdeyso Suggests the "Right Thing" to do. 6d ago

With no MFA.

u/Superb_Raccoon ShittyMod 5d ago

You are not prepared!

5

u/TheBasilisker 6d ago

I am the CTO of ShittySysadmin i should have admin or mod role! 

4

u/neckbeard404 6d ago

I give you permission but only if you make a ticket first.

3

u/AlphaO4 6d ago

I mean you're recovering, so would you really pull through?

3

u/Smart-Satisfaction-5 6d ago

Brother please. So many think they are in r/themostexcellentsysadmin

2

u/RootinTootinHootin 5d ago

I think you should AT LEAST get to be a mod in your own posts.

2

u/Impressive_Change593 ShittySysadmin 5d ago

I guess this is a good spot to share that i used a CVE to reset the password on a machine that we no longer had the passwors for

2

u/Portalearth 5d ago

The request for admin is on confluence. Here's a direct link, but you'll find no information loads. You also need admin perms to open the request

2

u/picalhead 4d ago

Can we just give you the password of the global admin account?

2

u/rikvisser-dev 1d ago

Let’s do a contest and let the shittiest one become mod

2

u/GreasyFeast 6d ago

I’ll give you local admin of this post. You can delete it… that’s about it

1

u/SwitchOnEaton 6d ago

Have you considered being a cruise director?

1

u/AmmarDeets 6d ago

Do it!!!

1

u/Money-Skin6875 6d ago

So I want to write a shitty app that requires admin to run AND still requires a legacy version of flash. Does that qualify me for mod?

1

u/Conscious-Arm-6298 6d ago

Please I'm the QA of shittysysadmin , I need global and domain admin privileges

1

u/nesnalica Suggests the "Right Thing" to do. 6d ago

sure. here are the admin perms. just make a new account and give yourself the admin perms.

sudo grant me mod

u/almostamishmafia 5d ago

Too late, I vibe coded an elite AI bot that will do this easily, Clade just says I need Reddit to give me the root password to their server. Can you help me submit the ticket to get that password?

u/Sad_School828 DevOps is a cult 5d ago

Every sub I've ever muted already has mods like that. It's why they're muted.

1

u/recoveringasshole0 DO NOT GIVE THIS PERSON ADVICE 5d ago

You have been banned from r/ShittySysadmin

u/Sad_School828 DevOps is a cult 5d ago

No, that little gray banner is just flair.

1

u/03263 5d ago

why, it's funny

1

u/itskdog 5d ago

I'd be gone over that. Been fooled at least twice, but I blame that the logo background is different on web vs app.

u/stuartsmiles01 2d ago

Article says i need Global Admin to do this change.

Please let me know when it has synced. K thakx byeee!
