308: THE GOATTTT

Here's a good picture of Brian from our camping trip, and it lets me procrastinate the photos from Comp so far for another few days.

This title is in honor of Brian, one of my good friends, and another RA in my building, who restarted the server in a solid 9 minutes. He was on call tonight, so I didn't feel too bad calling him to ask, and we got it back up in only two restarts, which was better than I expected.

I'm tweaking out of my mind right now, it's 1:10 AM, my blood sugar is probably at a billion, and every other metric is at zero.

Today has been kind of a mess, but it's also all worked out 😁.

As you can probably guess by the fact that the blog is back up, the server is back up and running!! This is huge, because this turnaround has been wicked fast for server-down back to server-up, especially for me being far far away.
