It happened to me when I was configuring IP geoblocking: Only whitelist IP ranges are allowed. That was fetched from a trusted URL. If the DNS provider just happened to not be on that list, the whitelist would become empty, blocking all IPs. Literally 100% proof firewall; not even a ping gets a pass.
That's because people are now aware of all of this shit happening, and some discreet day, just flip off the power from the house, doing indescribable things, and listens to the voices in their heads. And nobody will know.
Technical debt means how much work it takes to update legacy solution to a modern solution.
E.g. each time a new C++ standard is used, all code written with the old standard should be checked. The work time needed to do this is paying up the technical dept.
Now, if you are lazy, and didn't clean up the code, used the easy and sloppy solution, next time you have twice the work to be done. So the dept gets worse, if you do nothing.
I had a similar debacle, when I managed to corrupt a btrfs file system to point it wouldn't mount again...
I was preparing it to have as my main system on bare hardware. I had accidentally mounted the same block device simultaneously in the host and guest: kablamo silent corruption and all 5 hours of progress lost.* :(
Next time I was able go to the shop they had upgraded to GameBoy Advance and no GB/GBC games were to be never found again.
It was the best/worst thing I ever got. :'(
I'm considering to replace the TIM (repasting) + thermal pads at some point... The card is now ~5 years old, and if the paste goes bad that would be end of it. The dust that all boards accumulate overtime is also a risk factor of how long components last.
More likely a group of neurons, and they fight the rest of the network to try get more basil. And within single cell that shit is hard-coded into the genome.
This cannot be an coincidence. I may actually finished something this time.
