Somehow it seems to have only affected other people I've heard from on Lemmy.
I got to sit around work for like 2ish hours while they got everything back up and running.
My company's VPN was extremely spotty for a few days. Other than that though, the stuff I work on wasn't affected
Our infrastructure engineering software was down, on the only office day that week. Ended up going into the field to do more inspections, and we finally almost caught up on the CAD/reports this week.
I couldn't log into to our time recording app for about four hours, which caused me no issues whatsoever!
I was camping and forgot to bring cash and the shops had card machines, so I wasn't able to send a postcard
Non of our customers use it so no effect on us. Then again, I am a network engineer so even if it did it not like I could help much.
I work mostly with FortiNet gear so SSL 0 day are my bad days.
We had to jump through minor hoops on EC2 to recover a handful of servers. And once those were back online, there were some scheduled reports and similar things to get caught back up. The downstream impact could have been much worse, but we got somewhat lucky on the timing with our weekly processes.
Our poor network support guy had to go around the building and fix a couple dozen workstations. We're a "small shop, skeleton IT crew" type of place. So we were back to normal in less than a day.
I can't imagine what a nightmare it must have been for a "large shop, skeleton IT crew" type of place.
Exactly not at all.
We weren't able to send work orders to maintenance for a day. We sent it the next day.
I was devastated.
2 911s stretching about 5 days for a legacy product. Lots of ec2 rescues and terminated databases. Linux side was fine but ouch.
Thankfully we’re 90% Linux so not much, but one of our SAs had to patch a bunch of instances.
