Working IT is learning the cursed knowledge that a frightening amount of critical infrastructure is held together by bubble gum, scotch tape, and happy thoughts

Network engineers on Reddit: "IF YOU'RE NOT BUYING NEW PALO ALTO EVERY 2-3 YEARS, YOU'RE RISKING YOUR NETWORK!" ISP engineers: "This Siemens is older than me and nobody knows the mgmt login."

jacobvanvleet :
don't forget the people who knew how to configure it retired a decade ago, with no replacement. so even if it was a software issue no one knows how to update it or fix it

As a data protection specialist, wait until I tell you how many companies don’t have a practical, tested, usable recovery strategy. Often they don’t even HAVE any backups.

I’ve been in IT infrastructure for 20ish years, and it’s amazing how close we all are to not having working because nobody can schedule a rolling upgrade.

You know, if the PCBs are fine, gates are functioning, and caps aren’t fried. I honestly agree with the ISPs. Some computer loops/error solutions are so funny it’s criminal.

Wait until you find out about the ancient computers (legacy system) the financial systems are built upon.

Sure sounds like an american problem. I work as an IP Network Architecture Engineer in a major French ISP and we have plans to swap older, soon to be EOL, equipments before they are outdated. In fact, I decommisionned the last Cisco Catalyst 6500 (EOL Oct 2025) recently in sites like Lyon, Montpellier or Poitiers. This is what happens when an ISP is not purely focused on profit

Customers are much more tolerant of a major unplanned outage than a minor planned one.

I tell people after 20 years in IT at all levels the scariest thing is knowing how fragile things are that we rely on

IT Departments are insanely underfunded so many companies are sxrewed when Windows 11 comes out and Windows 10 becomes EOL and doesn’t get supported hackers gonna go crazy and business won’t

Ima fiber optic linemen, there’s a pole with fiber internet, snapped in half, but the fiber is still in the air, it’s 5 minutes from our shop, but until it’s an outage, we leave this snapped pole hang

I used to work for a very old ISP in the UK, there was a piece of equipment that controlled a lot of things and if it was accidentally taken off line remotely we we’re screwed because no-one knew
