Welcome to SysAdmin Weekly Discussions on Github!

[asyrewicze]

👋 Welcome!

This is the official discussion space for SysAdmin Weekly the podcast and newsletter focused on infrastructure, operations, security, and the realities of modern systems administration.

We’re using GitHub Discussions to keep conversations:

• Low-barrier-of-entry
• Asynchronous
• Searchable
• Grounded in real-world experience

What This Space Is For

• Podcast episode discussions and follow-ups
• Real-world SysAdmin questions
• Tools, workflows, and lessons learned
• Topic ideas for future episodes or deep dives
• Thoughtful industry discussion (yes, even when opinions differ)

If you’ve ever thought “this sounded great on a slide deck, but fell apart in production,” you’ll fit right in.

What This Space Is Not

• Vendor support forums
• Marketing pitch threads
• Homework help
• A replacement for Stack Overflow
• A Discord-style firehose

There are plenty of places on the internet for those things. This isn’t one of them.

How to Get Started

• Introduce yourself (optional, but encouraged)
• Jump into an episode discussion
• Ask a question you’re genuinely stuck on
• Share something that worked (or didn’t) in production
• If you’re posting a question, context helps.
• If you’re sharing a solution, details are appreciated.

Ground Rules (Nothing Weird)

• Be respectful and professional
• Assume good intent
• Disagree constructively
• Keep it practitioner-focused

We’re all here to learn from each other.
