Zero affect. Not traveling, and work systems apparently aren’t protected by it … not sure if that’s good or bad 😂
Thankfully we’re 90% Linux so not much, but one of our SAs had to patch a bunch of instances.
2 911s stretching about 5 days for a legacy product. Lots of ec2 rescues and terminated databases. Linux side was fine but ouch.
Exactly not at all.
I was camping and forgot to bring cash and the shops had card machines, so I wasn’t able to send a postcard
Non of our customers use it so no effect on us. Then again, I am a network engineer so even if it did it not like I could help much.
I work mostly with FortiNet gear so SSL 0 day are my bad days.
Fridays are my cheat day. All week long I look forward to getting a big ole breakfast burrito at a local restaurant. I pull in that morning and there’s a “cash only” sign. Well I don’t have any cash on me. Ruined my damn morning.
great lesson why you have some cash on you, like enough to fill up your gas tank.
Yes it was a good reminder for me. I usually always carry cash for this reason, but I had spent my cash and was lazy about making the time to swing by the bank for more. I did do that later that day and am back to carrying cash on me.
What kind of breakfast burrito?
It’s called the big omelette burrito with brisket. It’s a big omelet, 3 eggs, cheese, meat of your choice (I go with brisket) pico de gallo, refried beans. It’s amazing. It also serves as my lunch because it’s huge.
Dear lord, that sounds incredible. I assume it feeds 3 adults
The real question here
We had to jump through minor hoops on EC2 to recover a handful of servers. And once those were back online, there were some scheduled reports and similar things to get caught back up. The downstream impact could have been much worse, but we got somewhat lucky on the timing with our weekly processes.
Our poor network support guy had to go around the building and fix a couple dozen workstations. We’re a “small shop, skeleton IT crew” type of place. So we were back to normal in less than a day.
I can’t imagine what a nightmare it must have been for a “large shop, skeleton IT crew” type of place.
It didn’t
I was camping without cell service.
Came back to news of a massive IT outage and Biden dropping out, pretty wild how much can happen when you’re off the grid
Holy crap, same here! Came back to service and phone blew up with all the news.
In my experience the opposite happens more often, you expect at least some major news but nothing of note happened and you have no notifications from people trying to get ahold of you etc. so you just feel weirdly empty because you spend so much time and effort keeping up with the world, friends and family normally.
I was supposed to go somewhere flying Delta. I had to reschedule for another airline and got to where I was going a day later than originally planned.
Same, but Eurowings.
Still waiting for the response from b their customer support about the ~600€ they owe me (train ticket to another airport, taxi fare and compensation)
Everything opened slowly at work for a day, and a bunch of coworkers got a free paid half day off because they couldn’t login.
We weren’t able to send work orders to maintenance for a day. We sent it the next day.
I was devastated.
Schadenfreude.
I got a TON of overtime.
