The real Russian roulette for server admins 😂

Suisudo

I'd rather choose the gun. This one is too risky.

$RANDOM is so fucking shit for generating numbers.

I would rather gamble for CI/CD pipeline than the actual prod servers as cloud can solve the server problem for small-medium businesses anyway.

Meh, I keep everything compartmentalized, so this wouldn't do any actual damage. A few corrupt rows at worst.

gco production && touch new_deploy && ga . && gc "new deploy" && gpo production:production

Five minutes later it'd be up and running again.

@Ashkin I need to figure out what all those commands mean and how to get a setup like you have, but damn its awesome that that is possible!

@bashlord
Haha most of them are shortened git commands:
gco --- git checkout
ga -- git add
gpo -- git push origin
Etc.

I have my build server auto-pull from the qa and production branches when they change. If everything passes and builds nicely, it pushes the new build to my qa/production server(s) automatically and restarts them.

Since the database is on another server, I don't lose any data if prod gets rimraf'd.

@Ashkin Haha that’s still a nice setup, be it less mysterious than I thought it was at first :)

IIRC the original SO answer has a note about macOS, saying the gun is fully loaded.

@bashlord zsh git plugin will give you a bunch of those useful git aliases.

@farkaskid I’m actually quite comfortable with bash (surprise!) and I like filling up my .bash_aliases file myself, gets my creativity going! :)
