TIL In 2009 One of Google's programmers was adding websites to the malware registry when he accidentally entered "/" instead of a full URL causing the search engine to block off every website in its index including Google's own pages for 55 minutes. by TheRagefacein todayilearned

You are a real engineer sir, to break something twice and (I assume fix it) takes the real wanton abandon of a proper sysadmin...

When lightning strikes the ocean, how far do the effects of the electricity go? by wrestlingspikesin askscience

Network Admin with no desktop experience by TacoEngineerin networking

[–]speedhound 1 point2 points ago

I usually find that Network guys tend to have a really good grasp of how most systems work, servers, desktops, shares, applications, backups etc.. However, does not work the other way round, the amount of server and desktop OS "experts" I encounter that don't know a thing about networks is astounding. Also scary.

Yeah they would sweep the mines in pairs (two ships underway in parallel with a cable strung between them) this would drag the mines up to the surface where the guys on deck would shoot them with their Enfield .303's to trigger the mines (I take it they must have been percussion triggered rather than magnetic)
