Time to get working on that conservative internet. That’ll solve it.

There were many white, male, conservative systems administrators in the past, but the big corporations locked the gates against us, preferring men from Iran and similar foreign countries. It was a kind of work that required much self-education (participation in operating systems development or testing, for many of us).

With a real systems admin., a web hosting company is unnecessary. Now most of us are too old to bother with staying up all night to install equipment and configure a mess of new servers (finding a good access provider, equipment installation, dns servers, web servers, mail servers:MTAs, databases, many other servers) or to often remedy problems in such work (common with cracks from the outside, odd equipment troubles, etc.).

These days, many startups use LINUX server host companies (really just hardware facilities with high Internet speed and large RAID arrays, as server is originally a software term), leaving admins to configure a lot of software servers. Not cheap but much easier than doing the hardware work, too.
