How many coffee cups have you drank in the last 12 hours?
I work in a data center
I lost count
What was Dracula doing in your data centre?
Because he's Dracula. He's twelve million years old.
THE WORMS
Surely Dracula doesn't use windows.
I work in a datacenter, but no Windows. I slept so well.
Though a couple years back some ransomware that also impacted Linux ran through, but I got to sleep well because it only bit people with easily guessed root passwords. It bit a lot of other departments at the company though.
This time even the Windows folks were spared, because CrowdStrike wasn't the solution they infested themselves with (they use other providers, who I fully expect to screw up the same way one day).
There was a point where words lost all meaning and I think my heart was one continuous beat for a good hour.
