536: I Reboot With Reason
https://atp.fm/536

Marathon, first impressions of Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro for iPad, “reporting bugs effectively,” and another take on Callsheet pricing.

Three nerds discussing tech, Apple, programming, and loosely related matters.

@atpfm On the topic of rebooting, back in the early 2000s I worked somewhere where one of our servers depended on a flaky SMB share.

So there was a cron job that tried to write to some file on the share and reboot the whole server if the write failed.

Probably my favourite ugly hack I’ve ever encountered. And arguably fits @siracusa’s criteria of rebooting with a reason.
