A shout out to everyone keeping the site running.

takyon: The last time you got 'preciated was in 2015.

• System Administrator Appreciation Day
• Sysadmin trained his offshore replacements, sat back, watched ex-employer's world burn
• UC Berkeley students' heroic efforts can't stop CalCentral from crashing

martyb: An obligatory xkcd Devotion to Duty.

For some light reading see: When Sysadmins Ruled the Earth by Cory Doctorow.

And please join me in thanking TheMightyBuzzard, mechanicjay, audioguy, Deucalion, Ncommander, and paulej72 who have kept this site (and all the attendant backend services) running! And, if some of those names do not look familiar, that gives you an idea of how good these guys are! Thanks to all you!
