Oh that's right, I love the part where it will install all the shit, and then subsequently uninstalls it as part of the "install updates during install which saves time" portion.
Why it can't generate the list of packages that would be upgraded and then skip any that would be installed later as upgrades is.... well it should definitely be fucking doable!

I am a sick and twisted little thing sometimes.
status: completely accidental power disconnect has lead to cancellation of the wipe. Additionally, the primary drive has suffered a head stuck status.
Oh well, it's not like there was any important data on it....

Probably the instructions were unclear.

Dog gamnit I hate bugs that are impossible to reproduce locally because reasons.
My reasons are now usually because I'm not running on the production hardware. With a couple hundred people and only 10(?) labs (only 3 we UI devs can use), getting lab time is "fun".

The screwing comes after the work. Don't want to spoil the fun by having it before the chore!

I remember reading somewhere that truly secure data destruction requires 3 steps: degaussing, shredding, and incineration. I don't remember the order of the last two steps. Some traces of residual magnetic storage can be detected even after degaussing. Shredding turns the platters from which one might, with very careful and expensive laboratory analysis, recover some data into a nearly insoluble jigsaw puzzle. And incineration above the Curie temperature completely destroys even the residual magnetism and, at sufficiently high temperature, turns the jigsaw puzzle into blob that no amount of effort can ever reconstruct.
Obviously, unless you work for some three-letter government agency, you'll never encounter data that needs destruction that secure nor is worth that much effort to reconstruct. But if you do, that's how to prevent your adversaries from doing their jobs.

Because they have 5 hours of meetings a day.
If they wanted to communicate something, it would need 30 minutes.

Exactly. Donuts are a barrier to communications in much the same way are.

Status: It's a great day when PHP says a built-in library doesn't exist...
The line 21? Not the statement you are looking for...
I don't know how I will throw a different exception for this, but it was in the middle of something else so I'm kinda surprised...
Oh well, hope it doesn't happen again...

Oh. It was caused by MySQL being OOM-killed.
Nice.
Guess I'll slap a small swap file on this thing...
