@EnigmaRotor @Dianora @Keltounet @mwl yes, for very good reasons

@EnigmaRotor @Dianora @Keltounet @mwl yes, it may happen...

@EnigmaRotor @Dianora @Keltounet @mwl that should work

@Dianora @Keltounet @mwl @EnigmaRotor ok, that's settled - Grand Marnier Gelato in Ottawa, in June

@fennek No problem! Indeed, it may not have been entirely clear from the original text.

@paul @fennek I am familiar with that organization - and I know that the person (the one who was home sick, even if I didn't know he was home sick) has a deep sense of loyalty, but he is not reckless. If he hadn't been well enough, he wouldn't have gone. I even offered to go in his place myself. It is a healthy environment, not "that typical company" that exploits its employees. For obvious reasons, I cannot disclose details (and I work with several similar companies in different areas), but I can guarantee that everyone acted with the utmost respect for human decency. Fortunately, not all businesses operate like malicious entities that only think about harming their employees and collaborators.

I always strive to distance myself from such organizations, as they do not align with my outlook on life and the world.

@tkr I will - but it's too fresh and still not totally over. When I'll have all the final details, this will be a blog post

@EnigmaRotor @gumnos @mwl @Dianora is this board powered by a BSD?

@fennek Calling these 'my' problems is inaccurate; I am simply providing services to this company and I have no formal contract or obligation regarding this specific issue. I could have easily ignored the alert, especially since I wasn't aware the person in charge was out sick. Despite this, I offered to step in and handle it myself - even though it’s hours away - to help out and allow them to stay home.

@Dianora @EnigmaRotor @mwl I could never compete with the Mentor. He's more of a spiritual guide

@zako sure. Monitoring the monitor is more important than monitoring the services.

@JSteven Thank you!

@uriel You're right. I've updated the original post to clarify it. Thank you for pointing it out!

@Dianora absolutely! No local backup is a safe backup.

@Tionisla Thank you. Yes, this is true. Sometimes things IRL are stranger than in fiction. And, if I look back, I've lived some incredible experiences. If I told it to my 20-year-old self, I would never have believed it

@uriel sure - we tend to call "data center" a specific place, inside the company, that will host the servers (with A/C, etc). Maybe a little inappropriate, here.

@82mhz @lorenzo A real photo of Stefano, called "The Barista"

@miki I agree. In fact, their first idea is to check why they didn't call/intervene

@javensbukan @thegaffer suuure...fun...

@danvolchek to be honest, I offered him to rush there. But he refused and decided to go (he wasn't far from there)
