00:19 🔗 alembic the rate-limiting + number of warriors pointed at it means my scripts get stuck at GetItemFromTracker until finally they kill themselves
00:20 🔗 alembic I mean, it's a good thing for the project overall, but it also means my box is not being much help

16:00 🔗 VADemon_ TL;DR: XYZ decides to remove the directory. After a second or two he notices he ran it on <PRODUCATION>, instead of <PROBLEMATIC DB>
16:01 🔗 pizzaiolo hey sysadmins are human
16:01 🔗 pizzaiolo I'm pretty sure
16:02 🔗 VADemon_ Their backup methods didn't work and they didn't notice. until now. Luckily one of them made the last (6 hour old) backup manually
16:03 🔗 VADemon_ also servers were called db1... & db2... which maybe caused the mistake, imho

16:33 🔗 SmileyG VADemon_: hmmmmm there's 2 production servers
16:34 🔗 SmileyG db1 and db2
16:34 🔗 SmileyG he needed to clear the directory on db2
16:34 🔗 SmileyG he did it on db1
16:34 🔗 SmileyG Hell, at a old job while tired (undiagnosed sleep apnea) I managed to run a test script on a production system
16:34 🔗 SmileyG The fact it let you do that is another issue. alas.
16:34 🔗 VADemon_ Yeah, and db2. was making problems because it lagged behind with replication because of evil -ruski-hackers- spammers
16:34 🔗 MrRadar Importantly, he also did it in the middle of troubleshooting why db2 wasn't properly replicating from db1
16:35 🔗 SmileyG but then there was the 'oh restore from the 1 of 6 backup methods.... oh #1 doesn't work, try #2....
16:35 🔗 SmileyG and repeat upto #6
16:35 🔗 SmileyG They never actually checked the backups actually made anything
16:35 🔗 VADemon_ A great rule I read a year ago: TEST YOUR BACKUPS
16:36 🔗 VADemon_ they could at least have checked the backup size :D
16:36 🔗 SmileyG Oh god ffs
16:36 🔗 SmileyG so they got a list of thigns to do after fixing this isse
16:36 🔗 SmileyG 4th... is 'setup alerting for backups'
16:36 🔗 SmileyG 4th?! 4TH?!!!
16:36 🔗 VADemon_ yes. one of the files was "a few bytes" in size
16:37 🔗 SmileyG VADemon_: I'm anal about these things even when it's got nothing to do with me
16:37 🔗 SmileyG In my old job I'd randomly notice the wrong sized files etc and ask someone, even if it wasn't part of my role
16:40 🔗 VADemon_ is now known as VADemon
16:42 🔗 VADemon SmileyG: seeing this issue at (I think I can call it professional?) this level raises my self-confidense ;)
16:43 🔗 VADemon c* I've heard an alike story, one at Microsoft has mixed up different RDP terminals and ran some script on production
16:43 🔗 VADemon they ended up fixing it for the rest of the day
16:50 🔗 SmileyG yup
16:50 🔗 SmileyG im like 'wow either these guys really suck, or im at least semi professional

17:42 🔗 yipdw SmileyG: I hope that your errors are so quickly publicized, so that we may armchair about them as well
17:43 🔗 xmc gitlab folks are really nice, they let us have the domain and data for gitorious.org
17:43 🔗 xmc so you shut your mouth SmileyG
17:45 🔗 yipdw i've been in situations where you're responsible for one large aspect (say, application performance) and then you're called in to address a production issue that looks like it has to do with your expertise. you fuck up in stress
17:45 🔗 yipdw this happens
17:45 🔗 yipdw obviously someone is going to learn something from this
17:45 🔗 yipdw a few years ago i probably would have made silly remarks about how this would never happen to me
17:45 🔗 xmc i have never deleted anything in production
17:46 🔗 yipdw until uh it did
17:46 🔗 xmc but i never have come anywhere near production either
17:46 🔗 xmc i'm proud to say that i once had the opportunity to hit the Big Red Switch for microsoft maps, and i was able to keep my hands off it
17:46 🔗 yipdw it's super easy to sit back in retrospect and say "oh well I would have verified our restore strategy on a periodic basis", and if you do, congrats, that's a very nice place to be
17:47 🔗 yipdw in my experience it's difficult to argue time allocation to actually do that. until shit like this happens, and then it gets magically easier to schedule it in
17:47 🔗 yipdw probably just the way humans work I guess
17:48 🔗 yipdw we had a similar "oh, hey, now we have time for this" moment when heartbleed happened, and now suddenly that company has SSL certificate disaster recovery practices codified
17:51 🔗 yipdw my professional experience has been with small companies; experience at different scales will probably mean YMMV
17:51 🔗 crwbot has joined #archiveteam-bs
18:05 🔗 joepie91 obligatory note
18:05 🔗 joepie91 fuckups like the GitLab one happen *everywhere*
18:06 🔗 joepie91 just most companies never own up to them and call them an "unexpected availability issue" while they frantically try to recover
18:06 🔗 joepie91 (to put things into perspective)
18:07 🔗 xmc also that
18:09 🔗 joepie91 also, I recommend reading tech team blogs from big companies
18:09 🔗 joepie91 you'll find that most of them have *no idea what they're doing* because they have to solve a new problem they haven't solved before
18:09 🔗 joepie91 because the only viable way to learn the necessary skills in current-day software companies is to learn from your mistakes as you go...
18:11 🔗 joepie91 tl;dr yes GitLab fucked up, but this is not abnormal compared to what happens every day and they're learning from their mistakes and publishing them, so I don't see the problem :P
18:11 🔗 xmc ya
18:11 🔗 yipdw ^
