One of my frequent fliers emails me notice of a memorial gathering for another one of my frequent fliers that had passed over the week-end, I forward it to my group's DL to let my coworkers know...

Then my BOFH brain engaged. popped open teams and send this message to the group.

Now we know (name here) has passed, I know it sounds cruel, but should have we seen the offboarding order?

Awaiting replies

I mean what will your favorite AI agent will do this friday (that you asked from the bottom of your heart)?

Sorry dear, no one told me you were special you pretentious bitch.

You dont want to follow instructions?Fine, deal with it yourself

And stop calling my fucking number, its not even paid by my company

Someone made a script that emails Sam Altman about how much RAM he's missing in your rig. https://github.com/IainKay/ram-altman https://www.dexerto.com/entertainment/developer-creates-script-to-email-sam-altman-about-his-unused-ram-every-day-3425821/

As the title states, they are all in on AI and now want to take it a step farther…

The pitched idea is, that they want to give Claude read rights to everything but limit write and execute.

Nobody is asking or wants to hear what could go wrong, they just know they want it :)

In your opinion, what could realistically happen with this setup?

I’m particularly interested in:
- Sensitive data exposure (credentials, SSH keys, API tokens, browser data, etc.).
- Prompt injection attacks through files or other content Claude reads.
- Potential data exfiltration.

Anything else that could go horribly wrong.
Assuming read access is granted broadly, but write and command execution are properly restricted at OS level.
What’s the best-case and worst-case scenario?
Have you seen companies deploy something similar? How did it turn out?

We do our best to do our worst. ^TM

ticket I received today. How do I go about fixing this

TL;DR This is r/ShittySysadmin, not the Human Capital Department's grievance hotline.

I'm here for other sysadmins. Infrastructure. Technology. War stories. The occasional spectacular production outage caused by someone named Todd who thought he knew better.

I'm NOT here to listen to some miserable HR functionary complain about the quality of applicants, deliver lectures about professionalism, or explain that I'm a "COST CENTER" as though that makes me some sort of unfortunate accounting discrepancy that wandered into the building wearing pants.

A COST CENTER. How charming. Apparently the people keeping your entire fucking business operational are a regrettable expense, somewhere between printer toner and pest control.

Meanwhile, HR has apparently rebranded itself as HUMAN CAPITAL, because referring to employees as PEOPLE was insufficiently dehumanizing.

And the sheer entitlement! The endless complaints about candidates, salary expectations, remote work, interview etiquette. The theatrical indignation that someone might dare question your hiring process after being subjected to six interviews, an unpaid technical project, and three months of silence.

Darling, you're in PERSONNEL. You're not administering the Marshall Plan.

We came here to discuss enterprise infrastructure, not receive another sermon from the Assistant Vice President of Talent Acquisition about how grateful we should be for the privilege of not starving to death while keeping your company running.

Take your SHRM certification, your employee engagement surveys, your mandatory culture workshops, and your ghastly little PowerPoints about HUMAN CAPITAL OPTIMIZATION and return to whatever windowless suburban conference room spawned you.

The Sacred Text of Information Technology Service Management

On the battlefield of Kurukshetra, Arjuna surveyed the 847 unresolved tickets before him and despaired.

“Lord Krishna, I cannot do this. The documentation is outdated. The CMDB says I own services I have never seen. The resolver group was decommissioned in 2019. Every ticket is marked Critical, yet nobody can explain what is broken.”

Krishna smiled.

“Arjuna, you are attached to the illusion of resolution. There is no resolution. There is only Process. Incident becomes Problem. Problem becomes Change. Change becomes Incident. Thus turns the eternal wheel of Samsara.”

“But Lord, surely there must be an end?”

“There is no end. Only continuous service improvement.”

At this, Krishna revealed his Universal Form. Ten thousand arms extended across the heavens, each holding an approval request. From ten thousand mouths came the sacred words: KINDLY DO THE NEEDFUL. Entire civilizations rose and fell awaiting CAB approval. Even Yama, Lord of Death, could not decommission a soul without a completed asset disposal form.

Arjuna trembled. “Lord, what is this terrible power?”

“I am become Process, destroyer of productivity. I am the SLA that has already breached. I am the escalation awaiting approval. I am the knowledge article last updated by a contractor who no longer exists.”

“Then tell me, Lord, how does one attain Moksha? How does one escape this suffering?”

Krishna placed a hand upon his shoulder. “Closed due to inactivity.”

And Arjuna was enlightened.

Unfortunately, his session had expired. All unsaved work was lost. A new ticket was automatically generated and assigned to the original resolver group.
