So it begins. My wife just logged into the first day of school. Of course, the day started just after 9 with a panic call from a parent for a student not in her grade, any of her classes, or on her caseload. It's going to be a fun year.
Looks like some groups decided to have fun and DDOS a bunch of services schools are using to host virtual today.
@butch That sucks! Good morning and best wishes to the both of you for a decent year.
@MisterE thanks. this is why i took today from the tech job off so I could help provide support to the school team. didn't realize I should have gone into the school to help the hardware team.
@butch Yep. It's unreal how often this type of issue occurs. Capacity should be set up to allow for more resources than what's planned for. When I had to set up a new database for storing data, I would call the vendor and go over their suggested capacity setup. Then, I would add in some pad so that I didn't have to worry about whether there was enough storage. Sounded like the right thing to do, and my manager was the same way.
Good thing you're helping out!
Oh joy. Co-teacher hosed cause the school building she is working from lostbinternet and now their LMS is flagging features off because today added a few million more students and they weren't ready.
