We already have Linus Torvalds. /jk
He would be the perfect host for the show
This is 1000% funnier because of the avatar with the dog head
But apparently it’s usually the wrong type of dog face https://wuffs.org/@Ninji/114556719027277009
SRE always starting shit
SRE?
Site Reliability Engineering, a.k.a. the sysadmins babysitting the Big servers
Derp, of course, brain just never made that connection there thanks
"Are you serious?! You pushed this straight to production?! NO TESTS?! NO CI/CD?! It’s not even sanitized! It’s RAW!! IT’S FUCKING RAW!!!"
WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T YOU ADD .ENV TO .GITIGNORE YOU FUCKING DONKEY!?!?!
The Ubuntu 8.04 one turned out to be the backup, which had taken over because the main server gave up. Their main server? Windows Server 2003.
Also halfway, they discovered that they lost half their long term archive due to ransomware. They managed to recover the other half because it already got leaked first.
The first half sounds so true to me. Like it was an intern that really wanted a replica set, but instead of using the same platform the company was using, hacked together something running on Linux. Ofc they didn't tell anyone how it worked, and everyone else knew windows server so no one poked it.
It used to be running on a spare pentium 4, but was virtualized as no one knew why things stopped working when it was turned off
you'd get to the 6th episode and then the 7th would just be "@todo complete this later"
and none of the stage directions would be documented.
Don't come to my work
