I run things that aren't supposed to fail. Then I make them fail on purpose just to make sure.
☠️ I build and maintain hardened, multi-site infrastructure for radio stations, DJs, streamers, and anyone tired of rebooting a VPS because “the cloud” decided today was patch day.
⚙️ Backend’s mostly FreeBSD and HardenedBSD with ZFS everywhere.
💾 Storage: mirrored, snapshot, replicated, probably blessed by a data priest.
🔁 DR: tested, scripted, and verified hourly—because I don’t trust Tuesday me to remember what Friday me broke.
🐧 Also fluent in Linux (Debian, Arch, and sometimes the devil that is systemd).
PostgreSQL replication? Got it. Object storage failover? Mirrored.
🧠 Tools: rsync, zfs send, tmux, profanity, and my own Bash scripts duct-taped together with just enough sanity to pass CI.
I believe in uptime, plaintext config files, and yelling at your own mirror before production does.
No Kubernetes. No YAML worship. Just clean, brutalist sysadmin work.
Sounds fun! Are you able to do this as a freelance job or just for fun?
I ask because I have been trying to find freelance sysadmin work and was curious if you reached out to more non-technical clientele who you think would need these services, or were these people seeking out sysadmins?
