@mwl Miniflux or FreshRSS are great options, too.

@OndrejZizka I never named the company

@pedro the 4g router was connected to the same UPS. So it wasn't destroyed, just off.

@indyradio thank you!!!

@elaterite @_elena The police are investigating, and I know some technicians are scheduled to go over in the next few days. There will also be an insurance report, so I’ll try to get some more information.

@pedro if the two FTTH providers are down, the router will use the failover 4g connection to reach my VPN (and alert me).

@elaterite @_elena Fair question
I'm just relaying what I was told and what I know about the company, for which I've been providing some services for many years. The details came directly from their internal manager and, honestly, I didn't have much interest in digging deeper into the technical specifics of the incident.
My focus was simply making sure their servers were back up and running and that their data was safe. Everything else, electrical infrastructure, physical security, and similar aspects, is outside of my scope and handled by other people.

@fisher It's not a bank, and it's definitely not a top-tier data center. It's just a trading company in a typical industrial area in Northern Italy, with fewer than 50 employees. They've only got four aging servers in a rack. Facilities like this don't need bank-grade security or the kind of resilience you'd find in a war zone. I wish it were fictional!

@lasseleegaard true. I'm using my switch's fan speed to understand if my home office room is too warm

@darkling nice story! Unfortunately I had to manage something like that, too (A/C broken - switch dead, etc)

@stux thank you! Yes, that's a very wise approach. I have some internal and external monitoring tools. And the monitoring tools monitoring the monitoring tools, with different technologies (so a bug won't hit all the tools at the same time). Yet, I always feel I need moooarrr monitoring

@_elena Thank you! Sure, I will
But, to be honest, I don't think any of those stories will ever be a film.

The big, most scary one is yet to come, anyway...

@ozoned @_elena sure, just continue to practice with your Italian

@_elena @EnigmaRotor thank you!

@neurovagrant thank you! My rule is: we need moooarr alerts, as you never know how and when (not if - we know it will happen) your alertil system will break.

@bojanlandekic thank you! I'm just trying to spread some real life experiences

@n_dimension ahah thank you, but I'm not a hero. I'm just doing my job anche checking the alerts.

@luca @valhalla those are terrible!

@valhalla totally!
