| Jul 9, 2013 at 14:44 | comment | added | Nathan C | @Bruno SuperUser is the place for "starting" sysadmins. SF is better designed for the established admins working in a production environment. | |
| Jul 9, 2013 at 13:40 | comment | added | Bruno | Such users could be valuable contributors to SF (both asking and also sometimes answering questions). After all, SF (and the SE sites in general) are places to exchange knowledge. If the topic can be relevant, I'm not sure where or why the problem arises really matters. | |
| Jul 9, 2013 at 13:37 | comment | added | Bruno | @WesleyDavid, I think the problem with this strict definition of "professional" is that you cut out people who would want to expand their skills outside their strict work hours. It's quite frequent (possibly not always healthy) for people interested in IT in general to explore technologies they don't know outside the strict remit of their employment, with the hardware they can get hold of at home. I'd say you can learn a lot of reasonably advanced sysadmin skills (which could lead to questions relevant on SF) by using Linux VMs (for example) on a desktop at home. | |
| Jul 3, 2013 at 22:07 | comment | added | Wesley | Even "server applications" running on desktops or laptops are off topic here though. The idea is "professional capacity, professional environment" - anecdotes about people running a MNE's production databases on a laptop aside. So an Nginx problem running on a pi... off topic regardless of if the problem seems to purely be nginx. A Equallogic SAN and 10Gbit HBA issue is OT if it's hosted in a guy's bedroom or closet. If someone can ask a question like that without tipping their bedroom-hosting-hand, well... we're not Kreskin, so fine. | |
