Wow. ST3000NM0033 just 4.3 years shy came back with a 188 Command_Timeout of 60130459662.

This server houses either a vermin nest of some sort or someone fcked up plugging a gorram cable. Either way it’s pants on fire.

Update:

2nd act as .

We complained.
They rejected,
no error to be detected.

Bewildered we insisted,
and grumbling they assisted.

They pulled out all the disks,
and concluded all at risk.

Wait, what?
Only one was shut!

Now we’ve none,
the raid is gone.

Next is a letter we have to sign,
that loosing all our data is just fine.

You wonder if we have a backup?
oc, always prepared for such a f… mess.

Sorry. I’m not used to this sort of chaos engineering.

Adulting much today. Switched to winter tyres finally. While the car (and especially the breaks) look fine three of four summer tyres are bust 🙁 Really not happy with the performance of the -tyres that came with the car. Next set will be a regular one. The wear is simply not worth the few extra miles I may gain with the “softer” rubber.

Tried to buy train tickets online. Couldn’t figure out the costs (field is blank, FR+SU night, inland, trains only, 2 people). I am supposed to enter payment data tho to book tickets. Phone rang next, session expired, happened. I give up. Will go by 😕

Found some prices during the day and is even way cheaper. Will have to make two stops to recharge. Would have to switch trains twice too. Hours are equal. So it’s expensive nights of uncomfortable sleep vs taking an extra day off and make a nice roadtrip+sightseeing of it.

There is so much wrong with this. Why is the train so gorram expensive? Why is plotting a route such a PITA? Why does a route request cause so much server load that the session has to be dropped within minutes? How can anyone deal with all the other drawbacks involved in this?
