@eljefedsecurit @governa and to me switching to @ubuntu and forcibly migrating everyone who wants me to maintain their shit as a #BenevolentDictator was the best thing I did in my life to the point that I only regret not having done so over 5 years earlier.

I have the same + #SponsorBlick & #pfBlockerNG and #AdAway on all devices...

I literally catched #Malvertising with #Spamhaus #EDROP of all #Blocklists...

Otherwise go full #BenevolentDictator on users...

@fabiscafe Peopleblike that are the reason why I as #Sysadmin pull a #BenevolentDictator:

I've got neither the time nor the resources to deal with weapons-grade, active-agressive #TechIlliteracy.

There is no #BenevolentDictator in a system that works well. Instead, we have well-informed users who understand that as a #sysadmin, my job is to balance #security, usability and stability to the best of my ability, for their benefit.

Stability is measured by 'whatever worked yesterday continues to work today'. Usability means that the systems support doing what the users need and want them to do. And security means certainty that the information that they don't want to share is not, and the information that they want to share to a few people only goes to them.

Every user has their own priorities for each of these things. Tradeoffs and costs are inevitable; some of these are influenced by #infrastructure choices and history. But it's not a dictatorship, benevolent or otherwise: I inform my users of what is happening, what is planned and what is likely to occur. They inform me of their needs and desires related to the systems. They trust my general approach but sometimes question specific plans -- that's the relationship of professionals.
