is it that emokid deleted his work?

I work in DataCenter. Alone in cold dark room with nothing but the servers and cooling units running for 12 hour shifts. Most days are spent watching animu or playing on my phone or laptop while waiting for customer tickets.
This is the story or Huang li, the man who with one command ruined my week.
>Huang li is a customer
>100+ servers across 3 DCs
>ticket comes in 3am
>just finished cooking Tyson tendies in microwave
>sigh and open ticket.
"Help I use command rm -rf / server crashed."
>centos 5.8
For non Linux people that command is a basic do not ever run command. It removes the filesystem and deletes it. The "/" represents root, so that means this guy deleted his entire journal and filesystem.
>infinitely rebooting from grub menu
>fuckthiswhyme.jpeg
>go back to desk
Huang had fucking clustered servers. He removed the filesystem and it killed 24 servers across 3 countries.

A security system that can simply be disabled by an emo fagotron and a random whore is probably not a good security system anyways. Either that, or she's like one of those retarded children who need to find a way to break ANYTHING, even if it's a fucking diamond.
How could you let that happen ?
>>
>>26056808
Depends on how invested into your outside life you are.
Some robots work from home or are cyborgs who can assimilate into society but not feel or become part of that culture.
I fit into the cyborg category.

Fuck me. I'm 23 and just got my first job resetting passwords. Pay is decent, but man I really wanted to be a Linux sysadmin by 25. What the hell did I even do with all that time? How old are you anyway, IBM guy?
>>
>>26057303
Thanks...
>>26057217
24, I got a foot in the door when I was 20 my mom knew a lady in hr and she got me the job. She knew how much of a recluse I was and the job fit pretty well
I was a reboot monkey for a year before getting my Linux+ cert. Then things went downhill and alot of people quit and left me here so we changed from 8 hour shifts to 12s.
The job isnt hard, its getting into IT and making your value known that is. Every year IBM does some shit to try to be able to fire more people. I am waiting for the opportunity to work for Google or Amazon or VMware or a smaller company. IBM has shit pay but great healthcare. The entire company minus RnD and global technology, is nothing more than the recirculation of credited money that IBM has invested in other companies.
Managers on top of other managers. The chain of command can be so convoluted its ridiculous. Everything we use is outdated not to mention outsourced to other companies to manage them. We are crumbling from within and Ginny (ceo) is doing her best to scoop us out of the pit that our fucking bureaucracy of a company put us in.

Well if nothing else, it looks like you've got a pretty clear path to where you want to go and the experience/credentials to back you up.

Not quite I only have Linux+ which expires next year. By then I will have 4.5 years experience on paper but only experience with Linux and Windows.
Most people are moving towards Cloud computing. VMware and XenServer are the best thing to learn and get into atm if you are looking to make 70-90k USD within 3-4 years.
Honestly if I lost my job tomkrrow I would an hero before the end of the week.

>16 hours shifts are legal in the US
Why.

>>26057626
>4.5 years experience on paper but only experience with Linux and Windows.
Granted, but the cert is only a placeholder until you get the experience. Why not keep moving up? 4 years is the recommended amount of Linux experience necessary to take the RHCSA.
>VMware and XenServer are the best thing to learn and get into atm if you are looking to make 70-90k USD within 3-4 years.
I might do that too, but I love the idea of working on a fledgling OS like Linux and being part of its becoming really legitimate.
>Honestly if I lost my job tomkrrow I would an hero before the end of the week.
What the fuck, man? This doesn't make any sense. I know a job isn't everything, but it's not like you're in a position where you can't make incremental improvements to your life or, if it means nothing to you, why not screw around and take chances? Fortune favors the brave.
>>
>>26057691
True and I have been working on my RHCSA to make progress towards RHCSE. both of those and I could quit and get a better career.
Linux isn't a fledgling OS, at least if you are halfway used to UNIX. Which I was thankfully. With that being said Debian FreeBSD and Ubuntu are the newer OSs I see getting installed more often. The market for them isn't very large yet though.
About me an hero'ing, my job is all I have. Thanks for the support, but without this I am nothing. I am in a good position to make healthier changes to myself. However I do not have the mindset to do so... What I lack in confidence I can't makeup on paper or interviews. I have a lot of problems that add up to a severe social disability.
>>
>>26057977
Honestly my biggest problem was not adulting well enough.
My paycheck barely covers expenses. If I lost my job I would be in debt by the next week. I have a little over a grand in savings and eat nothing but the cheapest easiest food to make. California is too expensive, I can't own a car and live alone at the same time.
At the end of the day I'm just another wagecuck cog in the machine of capitalism.
