@nixCraft But what if someone else is on call?

@nixCraft@mastodon.social pushes to prod because flora doesn't give a fuck anymore

@nixCraft Also, never have dental work done on a Friday

@nixCraft meanwhile in CrowdStrike HQ:

@nixCraft YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO STOP ME!

NO I HAVE PLANS THIS WEEKEND, SORRY BOSS.

@nixCraft I managed 2 (yes, TWO) PCs with Windows 10 at a small restaurant. The updates were disabled and I did security updates only on Mondays on holiday manually after running a UrBackup live image snapshot.

Actually, my original plan was to image the working machine, run the restaurant managing software and see what happens after updates but the software provider didn't allow a secondary license for testing.

I heard Azure servers got down, this is unbelievable.

@nixCraft 😂

@nixCraft that sign can't stop me because i can't read

@nixCraft
Don't worry, it's just a minor fix.

@nixCraft akshully… if you’re QA is that lousy, you better never deploy and seek another profession.

@nixCraft

Pfffffh...

Did it three times today. Btw in Germany we have a company "even on Fridays".
Before s.o. ask if I work with them: nOpE!

@nixCraft And always test before.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social Why not? This way the IT stuff has the whole weekend to fix their systems 🤪

@nixCraft tuesday's the best

@nixCraft

@nixCraft even green toot

@nixCraft @ianb Unless you're going on holiday for two weeks and leaving the country an hour after you leave work?

@nixCraft got the whitespace working

@nixCraft τυχαίο μένσιο @baskin

@nixCraft

Some people just want to watch the world burn 🔥

https://shouldideploy.today/

@nixCraft do it on a monday so i can take the whole week off instead of just friday

@nixCraft unless it's your last day! In that case promote away!

@nixCraft

Don't touch any machine on Fridays. Not even for a lamp test.

@nixCraft
... Unless you have a large supply of popcorn. 😎

@nixCraft now if you were on an instance that allows the ```…``` fenced Markdown code blocks, you’d be fine posting that.

But not without. Your toots are transmitted as HTML over AP, and without a <pre> tag in that, will neither preserve whitespace nor be rendered in an appropriate font, so if you’re on Mastoson, you cannot post such things.

@nixCraft in my case: the only time nobody uses production is friday afternoon.
So I had to push there.
As it's a friday, it failed.
Friday evening: "why is nothing working? You should not push on fridays!"
🤷‍♂️

@nixCraft @ErikUden

exactly do it on Monday and frick up the whole workweek right from the getgo like we do 😆

@nixCraft , discovered my bug yesterday, so going to spend all day, and all weekend fixing it. Sadly, on my own time.

@nixCraft three day weekend for non-admins

@nixCraft How about a gentle nudge productionwards?

@nixCraft Most of these companies it seems their test *is* prod. If their test networks had BSOD we'd never have needed to hear about it.

@nixCraft I need one of these for my company that has pushed production updates during production hours and halted production. Every day this week while we were being audited externally.

@nixCraft
*cough* https://mastodon.social/@nixCraft/112773350990932401

=P

@nixCraft Have a stable production line and then it wont matter

@nixCraft

Never push on Friday. Don't push on Thursday either, because of time zones it's somebody else's Friday.

Monday is right out, you can't blow the whole company's week. Tuesday either, see timezones, it's somebody else's Monday.

Because of all that, everyone has to get all their work done on Wednesday, so you totally can't push then.

If only folks had a pilot group of test or QA systems that could update a week before the main fleet. Hmmm...

@nixCraft

coward.

@nixCraft , yup! I was trying to download a Visual Studio plugin and it was not happening last night for a while and Azure was hosed. I don't know when it went down, but came up within the hour.

Only working on Windows for my job. 🥲

@nixCraft I mean, I think it was still Thursday somewhere.

@nixCraft Already done

@nixCraft I was just telling my coworkers this 🤣

@nixCraft As a QA manager....please don't push on Friday. Please.

@nixCraft @Jackiemauro esp for a company whose engineering team sits in Israel and is literally not allowed to work for the next 24 hours.

@nixCraft NO FUN ALLOWED

Rule #1 I learned as junior sysadmin some 30 years ago.

“Never execute changes on Fridays”

@nixCraft NEVER CHANGE A RUNNING SYSTEM! ☝️
