Last year, we ran an expose on Santa’s true identity as a SysAdmin. This year, we’ve uncovered more <\/em>damning evidence of his double life under the username ‘Server Gauze’.<\/p>\n

See our original checklist<\/a>, or keep reading to get the scoop.<\/p>\n

1. Santa has everyone in the world’s names and access permissions<\/span><\/p>\n

You’d need a massive server to keep all that information. And where better to cool it than beneath the North Pole?<\/p>\n

2. Santa is constantly receiving request tickets<\/h4>\n

Some of these requests are quite out there. All of them involve leaving his comfy spot and going off-site.<\/p>\n

3. He’s highly involved in the Cloud<\/h4>\n

And considering he’s been involved with it since at least the 18th century, he’s quite the early adopter.<\/p>\n

4. He loves presents when he shows up on site<\/h4>\n

Appreciation is always welcome, even if you’re going to do the job anyway.<\/p>\n

5. People can’t tell him apart from other Santas – they just want the job done<\/h4>\n

Cry knowingly if you’ve been looked at like your name isn’t important, but your ability to deliver is.<\/p>\n

6. He’s overworked<\/h4>\n

But people think he only leaps to action on that one day of the year, and assume the rest is just sitting around.<\/p>\n

7. Nobody knows who Santa answers to<\/h4>\n

He seems to sit outside of the established power structure, coming and going with mysterious impunity.<\/p>\n

8. He brings new toys to people<\/h4>\n

Which, in the end, is what they get the most excited about.<\/p>\n

9. When asked how he does things, you get answers that are probably not true<\/h4>\n

Like ‘I have toys because little elves made it for me’. Translation: ‘Stop asking for answers you’re not going to understand anyway.’<\/p>\n

10. Has a naughty\/nice list from watching what you search on Google<\/h4>\n

Just like your SysAdmin… HE KNOWS. (Or at least lets you think he’s omnipotent)<\/p>\n

Conclusion: Santa is a SysAdmin<\/h4>\n

A miraculous super-being who flies in and out, making everyone happier in the process. What more do you need?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
