Years ago I had a job in the nuclear power industry. Those ohshit reports had very precise timestamps. I remember the one on the 2003 northeast blackout being a favorite. The flow of power was switching between east and west so fast as portions of the grid went offline.
@fibrs86@mehcuda67 I have not worked in the power industry. Nuclear or otherwise.
I have had a bad environment $PATH and a decade old program cause a runaway fork because if it could not find or execute the program in the $PATH when it tried to fork. It did not come down. It forked to infinity in a split second.
And promptly locked up the server cause infinite anything is everything

Try being on the steel mill floor’s observation platform when an idiot on the ladle pours a bottlecap too hard and slightly off position, and it splashes everywhere. My oldest brother had that one as a war story.
@blaineg@unksol Eons ago in a former life, I worked in a secure area at the Pentagon. The shortest route in was via a back stair past a desk with a phone and a very bored Marine guard, to a cypher-locked security door. There was also a button on the wall that, pre-Marine guard, went to a buzzer. Someone without the security code could use the buzzer to ask to be let in. By the time I was there, it had been disconnected.
I was amused when I came to work one day to find that someone (probably a bored Marine) had painted the button bright red and had placed a very official-looking sign next to it that said: “Do NOT Press This Button!” It became a habit to ask the guard for the “button count” so far. By the time I left, it was over two dozen.
Oh, it’s wonderful. Thanks for giving me my fix. Ahhhh…

Interestingly, for me, in Brave, typing ohshit.report in the address bar will reliably fetch meh.com.
In Firefox, it does not.
@werehatrack ohshit.report goes to meh.com in opera. All I have on my phone at the moment. Interesting.
@werehatrack https://www.whois.com/whois/ohshit.report
I miss knivesandspeakerdocs.com
@unksol @werehatrack shitassdeals.com was the best one.
Wait till they get to milliseconds…

@fibrs86 @mehcuda67 I mean have been in a high power lab in college… And a coal plant.
Next to a nuclear reactor. Yay Purdue.

@fibrs86 @mehcuda67 @werehatrack probably why I don’t think it? I have no war stories. Hats off to him. A high power arc might mealt bits off
@fibrs86 @mehcuda67 if no one else is going to say it. I can’t help myself. It literally forked itself to death.
@fibrs86 @mehcuda67 @unksol
Yeah, that must have been a forking (oh)shit show.
@blaineg
@blaineg at least Irwin has to jump for it

@blaineg @rockblossom impressive but you should see the fuck count. Where are we @carl69
@blaineg @carl69 @rockblossom apologies. See @carl669 for you fucking needs
This kinda looks like the Chernobyl report.
Can someone continue the report though?
