| JayF | There hasn't been an outage that I personally was responsible for in a very very long time. Probably a sign I don't take enough risks. | 00:01 |

| fungi | i still remember that one time the owner of the service provider i was working at insisted that i should be able to replace failed drives in a netapp filer (shared by hundreds of customers, with a bunch of oracle databases on it) with some greymarket drives he bought on ebay to save a few bucks (the filer was long out of support) | 00:06 |
| fungi | i tried to explain that netapp replacement drives are "blessed" at the factory with a proprietary header written to them, but he refused to listen. i replaced the first one and the entire filer head went offline. he srugged, walked out of the noc, and left me to deal with the irate customers while i tried to bring everything back online | 00:07 |
