| zxmpi | today's the day that people remember that curlywurly still exist as they open their first selction box of crimbo :-P | 08:35 |
|---|---|---|
| davef | Today is the day that I've already accumulated 8hrs of on-call overtime | 09:53 |
| davef | And now back to bed | 09:53 |
| knightwise | Hey everyone | 10:05 |
| knightwise | heyhey | 10:05 |
| daftykins | \o | 11:53 |
| daftykins | 27 mins to the James Webb launch - https://youtu.be/7nT7JGZMbtM | 11:53 |
| penguin42 | https://www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/ESA_Web_TV James Webb launch T-30s | 12:20 |
| davef | And I missed it. I set an alarm but sleepy dave turned it off before awake dave could get out of bed. | 15:34 |
| davef | When you think of spaceflight, you don't think of France. | 15:36 |
| penguin42 | ESA have been around doing Ariane for a long tiem | 16:28 |
| zxmpi | very boring, very unexciting, good science | 16:29 |
| zxmpi | and they're doing a bit of a shakeup next year to put a reuseable rocket on the table aiui | 16:30 |
| * penguin42 is now out of crumpets | 16:34 | |
| * zxmpi contacts french air force and orders an airdrop of croissants | 16:35 | |
| penguin42 | that'll do | 16:36 |
| davef | no chocolatines? .. you may know it as pain aux chocolate | 16:38 |
| davef | also, might as well throw in some cheese croissants | 16:38 |
| zxmpi | aldi was all out | 16:38 |
| penguin42 | davef: I'll take the pain aux chocolate but you can keep the cheese thanks | 16:39 |
| davef | they also do almond here, as well as raspberry .. all good | 16:40 |
| zxmpi | waiting for the wensleydale when wallace and grommit come on? :-) | 16:40 |
| davef | watched 'a grand day out' last night with the kids | 16:40 |
| penguin42 | davef: We get ones with sultanas | 16:46 |
| penguin42 | (wound the other way, thin/flat) | 16:46 |
| davef | yay, a vSphere cluster is down | 20:42 |
| davef | It's been eventful. Network went down at one of our APAC datacenters, causing a bunch of our storage to go read-only and VMs to have disk errors. And now I just got paged for a server down, only to find the whole site/cluster is fubar. | 20:43 |
| penguin42 | yeh, network taking out storage is a fairly common way to lose a VM cluster | 20:44 |
| davef | My favourite one is a server running out of storage, because somebody left a sync & build running over the Christmas weekend. | 20:44 |
| davef | I've been paged three times for the same server. yey | 20:45 |
| davef | Anyway.. 11hrs on-call pay and counting. | 20:45 |
| davef | Plus another 4 on top of that for it being Xmas day | 20:45 |
| penguin42 | davef: No redundent networking on the VMs? | 20:47 |
| davef | It's supposed to be | 20:47 |
| davef | But the network fault for some reason took out the entire storage cluster at the DC | 20:48 |
| penguin42 | hmm | 20:48 |
| davef | My guess, one of the leaf switches took a shit and wasn't noticed until the other failed. | 20:48 |
| penguin42 | yeh that's one to ask the DC wtf they did | 20:49 |
| davef | there will be an incident report published shortly. | 20:49 |
| penguin42 | reindeer vs network | 20:49 |
| zxmpi | should try and make a crimbo cat 6 cable from tinsel :-D | 21:02 |
| penguin42 | probably have more success running DSL over it | 21:03 |
| davef | DSL does work over wet string.. https://www.revk.uk/2017/12/its-official-adsl-works-over-wet-string.html | 21:06 |
| davef | 3.5Mbps, faster than some copper. | 21:06 |
| penguin42 | yeh that's what made me think of it | 21:08 |
| zxmpi | ok, make it easy then, cat 5 over christmas tree lights :-P | 21:14 |
| zxmpi | bonus points if you can tell the segment is busy by the flicker | 21:14 |
| davef | suppose I should pre-heat the oven | 21:14 |
| davef | I may be alone this evening, but dang it, I'm still gonna have a turkey dinner. | 21:15 |
| zxmpi | turkey... pigeon... it all counts :-P | 21:16 |
