Watching/Listening to this episode was my reminder to order @dbrook24.bsky.social's book, which should arrive later this week! 🎉

Rough day for us. Our 15-year-old Mongo crossed the ol' rainbow bridge this morning. He'd been diagnosed with kidney failure a few months back, so this day wasn't unexpected; fortunately it happened quickly. 😿 He slept on my feet last night like normal and had his bedtime meal... 1/2

Looking for a new podcast? Give "Diary of a Sysadmin" a listen! @fabianrodriguez.bsky.social does an amazing job and I was humbled when he asked me to be guest #1. He's really on to something and has had awesome guests (including more queued up)! The youth would call this 'a real banger!' 🤣 🎉

We're just FIVE DAYS away from Community Day! ‼️ Today we have 6 new events to share. If you want to create an event in your area, 👇🏼 has all the details, but you're running out of time! As usual, if you want to see all events, you can here ➡️ lu.ma/haday2025 NEW EVENTS 🧵

Unsolicited advice No. 2 Version control: the closest you’ll get to fixing your past.

Simon is one of those folks I love to see at MMS! He's so kind and genuine, and smart as hell! :) When he approached me with one of these and explained the backstory, I was humbled to be one of the "special people" for this gift. ❤️

Actually the best life advice I ever got: Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly. A half-cleaned room is better than an uncleaned room. Occasionally flossing is better than never flossing. A 10-minute workout is better than no workout. When it’s all you can do to get out of bed, get out of bed.

Wait…DevOps can apply to Sys Admin work? Let’s see what @allwayshype.com and @mattzaske.com have to say….

The session I was most excited about here at @mmsmoa.bsky.social. So fun to bring it full circle from my first #MMSMOA and hearing @mattzaske.com talking about #DevOps and #PowerShell for the sys admin… and now presenting with him on the topic that helped me so much.

We gave away more swag as part of the Home Assistant tips and tricks happy hour session yesterday. We had a great room with outstanding participation. Thanks again for the donations @home-assistant.io! What a great community! #mmsmoa

Now @z-nerd.com and @donnietaylor.bsky.social doing fun and sometimes gnarly things with AI to automate the mundane things of the workday! #mmsmoa

Now we've got @franklesniak.com and @michaelescamilla.bsky.social talking about the real deal impacts of Copilot+ PCs! #mmsmoa

Grief counseling folks through the process of moving configuration items and baselines to Intune remediations with Matthew Teegarden and @stelmer.bsky.social #mmsmoa

We gave away swag as part of the voice and presence session yesterday and we'll do it again today with even MORE stuff. Many thanks for the donations, including stuff we got from @home-assistant.io for the community. I'm pretty sure everyone in the photo walked away with something! #mmsmoa

I had to be in appropriate costume for the happy hour session part one of Home Assistant yesterday. We must have been directly under one of the room lights when @andrewj.net took the picture because I look like a cardboard cutout! 🤪 #mmsmoa

Rise and shine. The sun is out. Get ready for Day 3 at #MMSMOA. Make it a great one.
