@sharkNserg Well yeah, but as the article details, you just need to check and replace an anode in the water heater more frequently. The anode is used to remove corrosive elements from the water.

TIL that water softeners can shorten the lifespan of a water heater.

Thinking about it more, I think they had to mail hard drives because of just how fragile their setup was, that their server software couldn't run without an exact combination of OS, libraries, software, and configurations.

This may be a result of Linden Lab's very high turnaround rate, and allowing server devs to code in whatever language or framework they want, which often results in numerous resigned/fired/laid-off developers leaving behind code nobody else knows how to work with.

@porsupah Yeah. I forget what exactly it was, but it was pretty ridiculous.

Just got reminded of the time Linden Lab tried making a corporate version of Second Life for companies to run internally on their own hardware.

It was a huge disaster in many ways. One thing in particular I remember was that software updates were handled by mailing hard drives

@twitter@mastodon.technology See also that one guy who complains a lot about drama, but is almost always the cause of it.

@Hydro hehehe :3

I got two orbs to ponder. They're made of natural quartz crystal :3
