I'm really loving how Mastodon has become a refuge for all the grizzled seafarers on the ocean of the internet. They pop up in my feed and their bios all say something like

"I've been online for longer than the internet. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. 56k modems on fire in the light of Usenet. I watched IRC forks glitter in the dark near the Gateway 3000. All those moments will be lost in slop, like tears in rain. Time to deshittify."

The CrowdStrike IT outage is a good reminder that if you don't have a disaster recovery (DR) plan in place, there will be consequences. There will be many meetings and discussions about the need for DR, but by the end of the year, it will likely be forgotten amidst the usual job cuts, new priorities, and questions about IT budgets. This cycle will continue until another IT outage strikes. I speak the truth and nothing else. If I'm wrong, correct me below. #sysadmin #IT
