Yeah, I usually like getting my hands dirty, fix a car or whatever. But coming to work on Monday and facing a dead legacy server...

I have dead server dust on mine. And blood!
Are your battle stains from restoring a car?

At least it’s not a dead legacy NAS...

ugh, legacy support.... I have to support test systems that were put together in the late 80’s and have features cobbled on to them every few years since.... I hate mondays, something is always broken.

We have some stuff from the 90’s still running on this kind of server. We’re fighting with the devs so we’re able to decommission them ASAP.
A few months ago we were able to finally decommission a “server” running an application from the 90’s over Red Hat 6.5. The “server” was a hideous 1998 compaq desktop among our beautiful Dell servers. The application was critical to our company and everyone was afraid to even touch it because they were afraid to break it.

I have mild burns from methyl chloride paint stripper, trace amounts of semi-metallic green paint, 50 year old tar as-loosened-by-lacquer thinner, and two wood splinters (from something else). Also, RustOleum primers, self-etching and otherwise. Forensics might also turn up gear oil traces and brake dust from the Midget rear brakes/hub investigation.

Don’t even kid about this!
Had a NAS fail on my first week of work here. I try to make sure I don’t have to face that sort of issue ever again. *shivers*

nobody wants to put the time and money into upgrading old stuff when it “works just fine.”

I know those feels, we had a legacy NAS go down and bring down it’s backup along with it. Took two months to recover the data from tape drive backup and then we only recovered 87%

Damn, that’s scary!
When ours failed and we (thankfully) recovered 99% of it (we lost about 2h of data from the last backup) I made a secondary NAS out of spare parts and an old decommissioned server to back it up in case it failed. That Frankenstein monster saved us so many times I cracked a beer to honor it when I shut it down again. init 0, my friend. Good night, sweet prince.
