On-site with a county gov client doing a love visit. Noticed poor perf due to a never-purged cache folder. Easy fix. Got distracted. Classic rm -rf * one level too high led to an 18hr restore from tape. Fixed the cache, though!

A good friend of mine had a person on their team drop the production database this week. They are back up, but it was a scary 24 hours for them.

Please quote tweet or reply to this thread with YOUR tales of #DroppingProduction so they know they aren't alone!

[Library of Congress @librarycongress]

Many of you following along with #LizzoAtLOC were surprised that the Library has a flute vault. We are the largest Library in the world & home to more than 173 million objects, so there are many more surprises like that in our collections. Enjoy this thread of just a few of them.

@KermitMeerak @elon @Twitter Hilarious market manipulation. Too cool for due diligence. Sets a value to take over a company because of bots, then says he can’t buy it because of bots.

You know how less than 3 weeks ago the Alito opinion was leaked + suddenly Republican politicians noticed a baby formula shortage that’s been an issue since February—but 192 of them voted against solving that problem?

Yeah. So.

Reminder of how the 1/6 investigation is going.

Hello! It’s us! We’re still on hiatus, and we just can’t stop thinking about The Da Vinci Code. Since we’re sure you’re in the same boat, we made you this segment. Enjoy, and we’ll see you in February! https://t.co/JKG348Gopl

@benedictnelson Doubling down on Harry Potter, especially if you count people that read the book after watching the movie/TV show.

Remember what Republican leaders said before amnesia set in. I took notes that night:
Mitch McConnell (Jan6): "The mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the president and other powerful people...They tried to disrupt our democracy, they failed…This failed insurrection.” THREAD
