   Upgrading my server to #Debian stretch. See you all on the broken side. #sysadmin

      Okay. Now does it reboot? Ah… You know what? That might be a stressful task for another day. (Worst. #Sysadmin. Ever.)

      Ah, there you go. Mail not working. Glad that's settled. Can't stand the suspense.

         Mail operational again. #Cyrus in #Debian stretch appears to expect that if a service is configured, it should be able to run it, regardless of whether it's even installed, and will terminate at the first failure. After much commenting out, we're back up. #sysadmin

            3-days-ago server upgrade news: Today I can not only send, but _receive_ mail as well. Did I ever mention that, on the strength of some blog posts, a recruiter once tried to solicit me to #work as a #Google engineer? In retrospect, I wish I had inflicted my 31337 #sysadmin skills upon them, such sabotage probably being the most good I could ever hope to achieve.
