Ask HN: Where to get advice on devops?

Is there anywhere I can ask questions or bounce ideas for various aspects of my server setup with knowledgeable people? Stack Overflow is obviously against such open ended questions but I can’t seem to find a reputable alternative or even know where to approach such people for maybe the odd hour or 2 of advice. Stuff like, with data X, what’s the best way to store for fast querying, how would I plan out a certain type of job queue and so on. There’s nothing so big that it’s worth hiring on a normal basis (and prob couldn’t afford) but I’d love to speak with someone on occasion to get pointers on how I’d approach certain problems. So far I’ve done research on the web in general but it’s overwhelming and I can’t really gauge what is appropriate, hence the desire to talk through with someone who’s been there and done it. Any ideas?
