Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

In today’s episode of the Better Offline podcast, Ed Zitron specifically pointed to Y2K as an example of tech and government and business getting it right by investing to avert a disaster. The topic was Friday’s massive outage caused by CrowdStrike. Once again, I’m telling you that it was a massive effort that saved us from bad things happening rather than an overhyped nothing.
When you do things right people won't be sure you've done anything at all. In fact they'll actively deny it.
Job definition of a sys admin.
The best investments in maintenance - whether infrastructure, IT, whatever - is the one the next generation can make fun of. That means it worked.
