  • Two big ones in my younger days:

    Alt tabbed one too many times, clicked drop database, clicked ok, realized I’d just deleted the live user database for America’s Army. Thankfully it was the east coast site and west coast was the primary, and it was only one way replication. We shut down east coast auth and rebuilt the secondary.

    Someone distracted me while typing in a vlan command on a switch, I hit enter without double checking, took out our fiber between two datacenters in the middle of a move. Took me 15 minutes to run to the DC, plug in a console cable and fix it. Took all of our customers out.


  • The file handle of the directory changes when you mount the nfs on it, and docker is still looking at the old file handle.

    It’d probably work if you mounted nfs to a folder inside that one, or moved your docker mount one level up.

    Otherwise you’ll need to get your container to restart after the mount is attached. You could do this with a health check for the container that checks the files are there, and restart the container if they’re not. Or you could just fix your boot order and set nfs as a dependency for docker.








  • Oh look, it’s another old white guy trying to solve a problem he’s not affected by and probably hasn’t personally experienced.

    Edit: Sorry that was so negative, but these are all pretty basic things you’re stating. Anyone likely to read this list and action items like this, is likely already staunchly pro black.

    Would be good to see some more items that would make people do a double take and say “oh, I do that, I didn’t realize that could be construed as anti black”. Use your experience as a non black person to try and identify ways that a white person might be impacting black people unintentionally.
