    I had an Ubuntu system eat itself Christmas Eve at 1am. I think an update pooched some folder permissions and wiped the firewall settings.

    It started with “Huh, the network drives won’t mount”, progressed to containers failing to start with “hardware not found” GPU-related errors -oh yeah, I still have to check that and make sure it is working- and yadda yadda… 13 hours later I got services back up and running.

    Oof, today I slept in until 10. Ahhhhh…

    My SO’s car is a Ford (pretty reliable actually) and the first fix-it we did needed torx bits. Ugh, go out and get a set of those… come back and start again. I look around and they are everywhere. It might deter some, but to us it was a waste of time and a F-you to those of us who can fix our piles.

    Oh, and a special F-you to whomever designed the absolute useless (not making it up; it’s a 4 inch hollow chunk or metal welded to the frame nothing bolts to, hides inside, or protects) protrusion blocking a wrench from the oil drain bolt. A pox on thee!
