Really learned the biggest advantage git has over subversion.
Dead server housed a code repo I used for internal and private development. Fortunately, it was current on several machines
git clone --bare currentworkstationcopy
Done.
cvs or subversion would be a total loss in terms of history.
Okay. New server is about 98 percent functional. The few remaining tidbits are only for our internal use and, thus, are the lowest priority.
Almost 7:00AM.
I seriously need a nap.
…of course, it is no big deal that the mirrored drives got fried as a lot of the code and such was specific to RHEL5 era servers and no longer works on modern Linux. I also,no longer have any hardware even capable of running RHEL5.
No matter. I held my nose and ported everything to modern, systemd-based systems. RHEL7 server is humming right along.
Got home from work at 11:00pm. A crucial, outward facing server blew up. I've never seen a power supply take out a motherboard and all of the drives in a raid array.
Had to reconfigure services and such from scratch.
Still working on it remotely.
@matigo Seems like both ZIP and floppy-based tape drives existed to do just that.

@matigo In Linux, even today, I still have a root terminal open and enter sync; sync before ejecting. Got burned several times back when Linux wasn't so graceful.

@larand Every simplification they made to Word since Word 98 made it more incomprehensible to me.

A customer I talked to a couple of months ago was complaining about his hip hurting and that he had an appointment to have it looked at.
Our bookkeeper just came in to tell me that it was bone cancer and that he also had it in his lungs. Died in just six weeks.
Dear Lord.
