   The irony of the whole infrastructure of our faculty — an institute of computing and informatics — being completely offline after heavy rain yesterday while ALL other faculties are still up and running isn’t lost on me.

     @matt Everything is on-premise, IIRC.

     @anna Was it because that faculty used self-hosted infrastructure while all the other faculties were on some big cloud service?

     @matt I’m betting on “I did a custom thing that turned out to be unreliable” because that’s, like, a quintessential operating principle of our field.

     @anna Then did the computing and informatics faculty have some kind of over-engineered infrastructure that was unreliable in practice? (I've done that before.) Or were they just incompetent?
