for the record i'm aware of this through an OTW sysadmin, working through it
I do not want to publicly give details while they are still in the remediation phase, but I have a strong suspicion I have identified the root cause of the AO3 vulnerability that led to the downtime, and even if it isn't it's a thing other people running the software should know about.

Hace años (muchos, más de quince) le regalé a mi suegra por parte del sysadmin una planta de drago que le traje en avión desde Canarias. Ella la plantó en un macetón en su azotea, y como tiene una mano increíble para las plantas, el drago ha prosperado, y ahora es un arbolito la mar de sano.

Google Classroom also interfered in various ways with Google’s (weak & inadequate) parental controls — and I used to be a sysadmin! If I can’t deal with their mess, civilian parents and overburdened teachers have no hope.

Ach, mir hat man bei der Berufsberatung gesagt, ich könnte wegen meiner Note in Mathe nichts mit EDV machen.
Bin dann Bankkaufmann geworden und bin später in die IT gewechselt. 25 Jahre Sysadmin und so. Völlig unmöglich dank Mathenote, nicht wahr?

Hoy ya estaba yo al tanto porque el sysadmin lo ha puesto en la tele.
Todo empezaba porque yo iba con misposo a un sitio donde había un depósito de libros que se iban a destruir, y me ponía a hablar con un tipo que había allí, para que me dejase llevarme libros.
Me interesaba especialmente recuperar un tomo de La Rueda del Tiempo que mi sysadmin perdió en la mudanza.
