Manga: “Because I, the True Saint, Was Banished, That Country Is Done For!”
I’d say that’s a day in the life of a sysadmin, no?
Would be a fun series to watch, wizards trying to run a functioning castle under a king who doesn’t understand the importance of anything magical.
Well, fun for me. Might be some high blood pressure and early heart attacks for IT folks who have to live it.
BBC series Merlin was a little like this. King Uther hated magic, Prince Arthur was kinda against it because he was told it was dangerous, but didn’t exactly hate it himself. Meanwhile Merlin took a job as a servant, doing magic-y things to protect him. Wasn’t a great series (writing), but it had enjoyable aspects.
Having a lot of seasons means it was popular enough to warrant them. Not that it’s quality. One would hope they correlate but IDK how well it actually does. You’ve got plenty of people who say the Big Bang Theory is shit and it ran for 11 seasons. As someone who watched it I’d say it was no better than average.
I say this as someone who knows little more about this show other than it exists.
MFs don’t appreciate proper wizardry anymore 😤
In 2017, I jumped ship to a new job as they were transitioning to cloud server everything. The genius CTO (who was the owners wife) pushed for it, quoting they can save a lot of money.
Then she fired half the IT staff.
Two years later and a few major security hacks/ransomware events, they had to hire even more IT folks to unfuck their cloud setup.
I had something like this happen at a corp I once worked at. The CTO said they were going to outsource their entire datacenter and support staff to India.
I literally laughed in his face and obviously, got fired (always have 6-8 months of salary as an emergency fund, ahem-).
I won’t name the company but when half the Internet went down and a few major services? Yeah, it was that asshat driving and running between the datacenters realizing people in Bangladesh can’t do shit for you physically.
It’s like that graph: “Say we want to fuck around at a level 8, we follow this axis, and we’re going to find out at around a level 7 or 8”
Two years
A few major events
My god, they must’ve really fucked up their shit
Not a difficult task to not secure a cloud setup. And if it’s publicly reachable, you will quickly find yourself involuntarily participating in an automated vulnerability scan.
