I've had two trucks overtake each other at night, in the rain, over the horizon

2017-11-12 21:27:29 UTC  

That must've been a ball shrinking experience

2017-11-12 21:27:32 UTC  

I drive over the horizon, two walls in front of me

2017-11-12 21:27:42 UTC  

i slided under the reindeer with motorbike

2017-11-12 21:27:59 UTC  

given it was jumping but still

2017-11-12 21:28:06 UTC  

I swerved and SOMEHOW managed to not fall into the ditch and move just next to the truck

2017-11-12 21:28:38 UTC  

@porco thats already the second crazy car story from you, or is it the same event?

2017-11-12 21:28:42 UTC  

I stopped and I was shaking so much and had to tell myself like 10 times to not turn around and chase the truck down

2017-11-12 21:28:50 UTC  

@JHWH it's the second

2017-11-12 21:29:08 UTC  

I used to drive 60'000 km / year for my previous work

2017-11-12 21:29:13 UTC  

most of it in Germany

2017-11-12 21:29:16 UTC  

I've seen some shit

2017-11-12 21:29:33 UTC  

>driving for a living

I know those feels

2017-11-12 21:29:44 UTC  

it was not driving for a living, it was an ISP

2017-11-12 21:29:55 UTC  

but there were data centers all across Europe

2017-11-12 21:30:04 UTC  

and I periodically needed to be in all of them

2017-11-12 21:30:25 UTC  

oh

2017-11-12 21:30:29 UTC  

@porco did you read the OVH case 2 days ago

2017-11-12 21:30:38 UTC  

no

2017-11-12 21:30:40 UTC  

what is it about?

2017-11-12 21:33:00 UTC  

The previous one is good because you can carry it with your keys, for when you're driving with a maniac friend or don't want to mount something permanently to your vehicle

2017-11-12 21:33:15 UTC  

@porco >bad typo in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-yourinterface > systemctl restart network

2017-11-12 21:33:17 UTC  

But then again the spring might fuck up with time

2017-11-12 21:33:32 UTC  

that's why I'd buy the original resqme

2017-11-12 21:33:34 UTC  

but that's just me

2017-11-12 21:33:35 UTC  

so systemd's fault

2017-11-12 21:33:40 UTC  

some things I'm ok with chinking

2017-11-12 21:33:43 UTC

2017-11-12 21:34:14 UTC

2017-11-12 21:35:16 UTC  

Internet is surprisingly fragile

2017-11-12 21:36:05 UTC  

@porco accidentally an iptables rule then end your ssh session

2017-11-12 21:36:07 UTC
