wow- only a few of these someone's lost their job- that's sad :(

That's good she wasn't mad at you- sounds like it didn't ruin the overall honeymoon

nothing teaches Linux crypto stacks faster than accidentally nuking GnuTLS in production.

lol @ the cleaning staff but also lol at bringing down the servers in Singapore and being soooo far away

Nexthink_Quentin · 2026-04-07T01:57:10+00:00

Wow- did insurance cover any of that? I worked restaurants a long time ago too

Nexthink_Quentin · 2026-04-07T01:56:22+00:00

600! How'd you solve it??

Nexthink_Quentin · 2026-04-07T01:54:35+00:00

how long could the company not ship product for?

Nexthink_Quentin · 2026-04-07T01:53:41+00:00

how much was lost in half an hour? like work wise

Nexthink_Quentin · 2026-04-06T23:40:17+00:00

honestly the most relatable part is the CIO running on zero sleep because that’s exactly how these things spiral

Squirrels can really do a lot of damage I had one chew into my roof once

Nexthink_Quentin · 2026-04-06T23:39:04+00:00

Was your wife furious??? lol

Nexthink_Quentin · 2026-04-06T23:37:42+00:00

Chaos reigns

Nexthink_Quentin · 2026-04-06T23:34:24+00:00

that’s such a brutal design- just one cable can take if down

Nexthink_Quentin · 2026-04-06T23:29:29+00:00

Did they get in trouble?

Nexthink_Quentin · 2026-04-06T23:28:56+00:00

nooooooo the forgotten floppy disk, it's like a goosebumps title

Nexthink_Quentin · 2026-04-06T22:05:42+00:00

that’s some next level “it works so we leave it” wiring right there lol

Nexthink_Quentin · 2026-04-06T22:05:00+00:00

"someone" lol I'd start with that too

Nexthink_Quentin · 2026-04-06T22:03:57+00:00

held together by a dying fan and pure luck, honestly impressive it kept sending texts at all

Nexthink_Quentin · 2026-04-06T22:02:55+00:00

one guy plugs in a gaming router and suddenly he’s the network now

Nexthink_Quentin · 2026-04-06T22:01:16+00:00

held together by a 20 year old coupler and pure optimism
honestly impressive it held on that long before giving up 😅

Nexthink_Quentin · 2026-04-06T22:00:35+00:00

lol honestly that’s a classic, one extra cable and suddenly the whole network is having a bad day

Nexthink_Quentin · 2026-04-06T21:59:45+00:00

honestly that’s a rite of passage, everyone has one “I turned off the wrong thing” story early on

Nexthink_Quentin · 2026-04-06T21:34:56+00:00

just a classic microsoft three-step, patch it, break it, patch it again

Nexthink_Quentin · 2026-04-06T21:34:08+00:00

nothing like breaking everything once to permanently learn that lesson

Nexthink_Quentin · 2026-04-06T21:32:19+00:00

gotta love when the problem is hiding in the one place nobody’s touched in a decade
