@bahua They want a maintenance page on their site for when their entire site goes down...

@tokumei Imagine your wordpress site going down entirely (probably including the webserver),then what's the point of having a wordpress page notifying people that its down (that's what this person wanted)?
-
@bahua Yeah like their entire wordpress installation going down and then wanting a page in that wordpress site about the outage..
-
@xewl Not if you don't have a load balanced xD
-
@xalys Explain?
-
@linuxxx well, if you give a client their own IP and you advertise it with BGP, you could use aspathprepend on another failover server to show that the website is offline on another server with the same IP. I call it a 'sorry server'
Found this in our codebase, apparently one of my co-workers had written this
(overheard colleagues)
"hey, client x wants to speak to you, can I put them through?"
"what's it it about?"
*mumbles something*
"dafuq?! Oh well, put him through already 😑"
Me: hey, what did he want?
Colleague: they wanted help with setting up a page on their site with a maintenance message for when their site goes down.
Me: ah righ.... wait what? What's the function of a maintenance page on a site if the entire site is down?!
Colleague: yeah, that 🤣
Well, okay, then 😶
rant
that makes no sense at all
wtf
dafuq
