      I once set up vpn on a remote system via ssh, and then wondered for a split second why my connection went down when the remote machine switched to being connected to the internet via the vpn.

      That one was fun to recover from.

        Oh man, back when I was a network tech, I did something similar to a remote site’s router. My dumbass forgot to set the reboot after 15 minutes command as a failsafe (it reboots the device without saving in case your config kicks you out and you’re unable to remote back in due to a config change). Yep… Had to drive 6 hours round trip to fix that fuck up as it was an unmanned site.

          lol. The “Drive of Shame”

          Back in the day, Foundry Edge switches had a one command to set the vlans on a trunk interface and separate command to ADD a vlan to that trunk interface.

          It was a rite of passage to drive to the customer site and reboot the chassis to get management access back.

        Deadline tomorrow !!! Everything you’ve ever posted becomes public from tomorrow. Even messages that have been deleted or the photos not allowed. It costs nothing for a simple copy and paste, better safe than sorry. Channel 13 News talked about the change in Facebook’s privacy policy. I do not give Facebook or any entities associated with Facebook permission to use my pictures, information, messages or posts, both past and future. With this statement, I give notice to Facebook it is strictly forbidden to disclose, copy, distribute, or take any other action against me based on this profile and/or its contents.

NOTE: Facebook is now a public entity. All members must post a note like this. If you prefer, you can copy and paste this version. If you do not publish a statement at least once it will be tactically allowing the use of your photos, as well as the information contained in the profile status updates. DO NOT SHARE.

    Give me a $1.25T market cap and I promise I will deliver perfect continuous uptime forever.

    You will be able to find embarrassing high school photos of ex-Presidents from the 2020s in the year 2400, climate apocalypse be damned. We will be violating spacetime and causality constraints to deliver continuous uptime, if I’ve got $1.25T worth of company to swing around. You will be able to check Facebook by tapping a rock while standing on the moon. You will look at baby pictures of the children of people who haven’t been born yet. The impossible will be made real.

      But actually you are missing the whole point of the connection between money and magic. Money gets its value from creating a desperate scarcity of magic. If you use all that money to create all that magic it would destabilize the balance of nature and thus Kyle the Three Headed Hadal Zone Dragon would rise from the depths and eat you.

      Everything is a zero sum game, even when there are no zeroes nor any sums. This is the way of god and the likeness of the market he created in his image.

    I couldn’t do that, I am too dumb.

    Today I temporarily locked myself out of navidrome admin account as I forgot the password.
    Then just 30 minutes later I crashed my whole phone, getting it stuck in sort of a boot loop. I only noticed as it started getting way too hot in my pocket. I managed to turn it off, let it cool down, and try again. “You need at least 10MB of free storage to use the system.”, MIUI’s cleaner popped up.
    What the hell happened here?
    I disconnected from WiFi, bringing down that network interface, with nginx binded to it, causing errors.
    Nice, 16GB /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/var/log/nginx/error.log.

    I don’t know how to prevent this. I wanted to try outputting error and access logs to stderr and stdout respectively. This only yielded “Permission denied” errors. I couldn’t find why that occurs. UID, GID and permissions all check out.
    For now it’s going to /dev/null.

        For fun. This is what I do instead of video games. I mirrored some old websites using wget, so it can serve those. I also got a bunch of videos I may want to get over network without downloading anything, and it’s great for that. At least with fancyindex module with Material theme.
        It also works as a forward proxy to Navidrome server, also running on my phone, so that I can access it through a URL on same IP:PORT.

    I used to be a site reliability engineer at Facebook. I probably know some people who were running around trying to fix this today.

        I feel for them personally, because they are good people, but Facebook itself, nah. They’re a bad company.

    My parents having issues with Facebook has lead to me interfering in their browser setup. No more ads, containerization for Facebook etc. I hope that I will probably have less issues with purchases that didn’t need to made.

    Hey OP — did you make this meme? Do you really have a 2 active users instance of Lemmy. If so… you make it seem like something manageable…

    Do you know if I could run an instance with a raspberry Pi?

    I’m thinking of a summer project… I know there’s a big learning curve but it might be fun?

      They don’t fire you for that. You get a review board that tells you what you did wrong and not to do that again, and that’s about it. (If it was an honest mistake.)
