reposting that with the story that goes with it, my #freebsd media box kept mysteriously rebooting, no amount of debugging or tracing seemed to pick up the spurious restarts. It turns out my 2yo "expert" loved the flashing lights as it started up, and found out how to hard reset it. 3 months of wondering wtf was happening until I filmed this.

@troisiemelobe I know of a certified heavy power electrician who caused a datacenter outage by powering off the main circuit, then flicking it back on "hoping nobody would notice". Resultant surge blew out 1000s of servers.
@dch Kids, the death of all technology :)
@dch That's adorable.
@dch I code like this too sometime!
it turns out its a pretty accurate rendition of my general programming/devoops style anyway.
