Ah, OVH RBX had a sad today.
-
katia
Oh?

JAA

katia
All of rbx?
-
JAA
Only a good chunk of it, it seems:

> This incident affects: Infrastructure || RBX (RBX5, RBX6, RBX7, RBX8, RBX10).
-
katia
At least no migration to cloud yet
-
JAA
Not entirely clear what was affected, really.

My server went down twice (once at the original outage, and once when they switched power) and was then stuck in some boot loop. Apparently booting from local disk requires network so they can do PXE to then tell it to boot from disk.
-
steering
not too surprising to me, they probably just cycle the power whenever they need to reclaim a machine
-
JAA
I mean, it's a dedi, the data's on the disk, which they'd probably wipe anyway.
-
JAA
But I guess adjusting the boot target is easier this way than having to mess with the UEFI, maybe?
-
steering
I would imagine they don't want to have to go touch it just to reinstall or provision for a new user, just power cycle it and then PXE boot checks in and gets the "wipe and lay down an image" image...
-
JAA
Yeah
-
JAA
Or when the user wants to go into rescue mode.
-
steering
that's secondary, they could charge for it otherwise after all :P

"oh we just can't share anything yet because insurance isn't done" etc
-
JAA
They could, sure. Also for KVM. Yes, looking at you, Hetzner.
-
JAA
To be fair, I think Hetzner actually has physical KVM devices that someone walks to your server and hooks up, based on what I've read.

>Was OVHcloud lying or incompetent about Bluepad’s data? We don’t know, but we know one thing more. The data could have been saved, because OVHcloud retrieved an undamaged Bluepad hard drive from the wreckage. The data was still there - until OVHcloud broke its own procedures and switched the drive on, at which point it formatted itself and the data was lost.

steering
lol

Oof

- promised their own report on the fire, never delivered - got the fire inspectors report taken down - promised to start a whole lab dedicated to DC fire safety, never did

how long ago was the fire?

March 10, 2021
-
steering
the article I linked has details but basically they stopped acknowledging it after ~2022
-
that_lurker
ok, then its odd. Those things do take time, but usually only two ish years max. I wonder if there is some board member or share holder pressure to keep the stuff from the public
-
steering
yeah. those weren't the only promises either. free backups for all customers, etc
-
steering
kinda silly stuff tbh, "yeah sure you are"

kiska, seems like they would speak english at least
-
kiska
During covid auspost did that to me
-
kiska
And I work there :D
-
kiska
But yeah, hetzner do speak English, you just need to ask them to do so
-
kiska
katia: Actually no... auspost wasn't the longest, it was nsw healthdirect during covid some reason it got rid of my vaccine booking and I had to call up, was on hold for 612 minutes
-
katia
nice
-
katia
how do you know you are not on hold anymore
-
kiska
I called up at 2pm, and they answered the phone at 12am...
-
kiska

back when i used to work in customer service the worst part was listening to the same hold music any time another queue got backed up.
-
steering
every caller waiting on hold: screw this i'll just press a random different button at the menu, it's all the same person
-
steering
me: great, another 5-10 minutes of listening to hold music because i'm not allowed to help people with that
-
JAA
TheTechRobo: Sorry, that's not safe to share here. It involved private parts. ;-)
