The alt text is nice, too: The weird sense of duty really good sysadmins have can border on the sociopathic, but it's nice to know that it stands between the forces of darkness and your cat blog's servers.

Just fyi, Randall who makes xkcd has a very permissive approach and offers hotlinks on the site for easy embedding. I think he prefers that you hotlink rather than reupload.

Alright keep this in mind in future mate. I found this on quora and didn't know who the author was.

For some reason it reminds me of When Sysadmins Ruled The Earth, a short story about sysadmins dealing with the apocalypse.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

I'd never read that story until now, thanks for sharing!

No reason why it shouldn't.
