Hola Sysadmins! It’s been a long, exhausting week, hasn’t it? You were probably counting down to celebrate ‘SYSADMIN(YOUR) DAY’, but the universe had other plans and threw you into huge trouble! 😕

July 19, 2024 – a day that felt like a digital apocalypse! A day in history when a part of the digital world paused for hours.

An unfortunate, accidental CrowdStrike outage triggered a global BSOD catastrophe, turning screens into a haunting blue. 🔵 Flights were grounded, businesses stalled, health services were disrupted, and customs jammed, among other chaos.

The dust has settled, and we wanted to ask you: How was the past week?

We totally understand your pain! 🙁You were crushed by employees with laptops banging on your doors.

Yet, amid the turmoil, you calmly typed away, rebooted the Windows recovery environment, restored services, and brought order back to normal!

So, on this special day dedicated to you, our Sysadmins, we want to shout from the rooftops: Thank you!

Thank you for your vigilance and dedication. You are the true heroes of the tech world, and we couldn’t do it without you. ❤️Cheers!

Your detailed step-by-step fix for the CrowdStrike BSOD outage was the real beacon of hope in the darkness.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being such a savior. You’re a true hero! 🫡

Your work often goes unnoticed, but the recent crisis has shown everyone just how vital your role is in every organization. 🔥

So, on this special day, let’s take a moment, oops! A moment would never do justice! Let’s ensure to celebrate Sysadmins for the rest. 💯

Because let’s be honest,

  1. Who else would we call at 3 AM when the server is down and causing difficulties?
  2. Who else would stay up all night to fix a system crash to save the next day?
  3. Who else would manage to fix everything while we sip coffee?
  4. Who else would keep our systems secure against unseen cyber threats day & night?
  5. Who else could diagnose a system slowdown from a thousand miles away?
  6. Who else would rescue us from the blue screen & dig through network logs?
  7. Who else would maintain our complex infrastructure and ensure our gadgets work seamlessly?
  8. Who else has the patience to handle users blaming their mistakes on technology?
  9. Who else would sacrifice their weekends & holidays to ensure our systems are up and running?
That’s a lot of questions, but do all the answers say, Sysadmins?
They sure do!

A pictorial representation of the reality:

They are the unnoticed, behind-the-scenes geeks helping us stay in peace. Thank you for going above and beyond to keep our world running!

They deserve more than just a pat on the back! They deserve a standing ovation, a global holiday, or perhaps a small island to recharge. 😌

Send them a thank you message, give them a shoutout on social media, or even better, let them take an extra-long vacation – they’ve earned it!

We at AdminDroid encourage everyone to appreciate the Sysadmins in their lives.

Happy Sysadmin Day to the masters of the server, the rulers of the router, and the guardians of the global network. We salute you! 🫡

You deserve all the pizza, coffee, beer, and endless gratitude we can muster 🙇
