Security? Working Servers? Who Needs Those When You Can Have A Shiny Floor?
The Register, Monday, June 26,2023
The root cause was a buffer error - but not the kind of buffer you're thinking of
WHO, ME? Ah, gentle reader, once again it is Monday and all that entails. But fear not, for The Reg is here with Who, Me? and another tale of things going not quite so well as might have been hoped. Perhaps this will lift your day.
This week's raconteur, who we'll Regomize as "Murph," brings us a tale tying together two of our recent themes: security tech that doesn't behave as it should, and power points being used in ways they were not meant to be.
Murph works in an older building that's been renovated, with "marble entry and tasteful carpeting in the work areas." The server room inhabits a repurposed gymnasium (no servers under the break room bench here) and there are tiled floors everywhere. In fact, "with lots of tile across seven floors, we have a decent size maintenance staff to keep it looking good."
