  • The reason is that we want it to fail. My original comment was more emotive than descriptive. The system is horribly designed and a fucking menace on the best day, so short of direct sabotage, we’re doing what we can to force the bossmang to replace it.


  • It’s surprisingly easy to get from the main hall to the server room. There are two doors between the entry hall and the server room, one can be bypassed by yanking it real hard, and that gives access to the breaker box for the electromagnets among others. The building is not particularly well-designed.

    One of our servers is a rotting carcass being kept alive by our collective prayers. It runs Windows 7 and custom software whose developer is dead and the source is missing, nothing has been updated for over a decade, and it has its own independent UPS because once it goes down, it has an extremely slim chance of recovering, and we’re afraid to test it. It controls the card entry system into the building, including the server room. Boss doesn’t want to replace it because we’d have to replace all of the terminals and controllers too, and it hasn’t catastrophically failed yet.

    You’re right. It’s not a pet. It’s like one of the Saw movies: if it dies, we’re all fucked.

    I seriously doubt that anyone who asks that question doesn’t already have a foregone conclusion, but fine, I’ll indulge you.

    Probably not. If he was, and had been hiding it his entire life, even in the era when he was the youtube star and had zero restraint, why would he slip up those few times, and especially such highly public ways?

    He did and said some shit in his early 20s, and he deserved the criticism at the time, but those incidents weren’t repeated and weren’t part of a pattern. He wasn’t the paragon of virtue and maturity, but I’m willing to bet my left nut that neither are the people who are lining up to crucify him, and the only difference is that he had an audience. The people who aren’t willing to let go of their prejudices after a decade are equally as immature.
