Murphy's law or this is why we can’t have nice things - (Episode 127)

This week was a perfect storm of technical chaos. In what should have been a routine upgrade, an ISP crew inadvertently knocked out a perfectly functional primary internet line, leaving one of us offline for two full days. Just as we were recovering from that, a pair of server coolers in a critical server failed — naturally, right at the start of the exam period — sending the other one of us back to the office at half past midnight. In this episode, we break down what went wrong, why it always seems to happen now, and how to keep your sanity (and systems) intact when everything around you breaks. Welcome to “This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things” — a raw look at the fragile reality of ISPs, datacenters, and the tech we trust way too much.
