I managed to take down my entire server with a personal project. 😅🚨 A rogue Java app caused a silent but major outage on my GCP VM. I wrote up a quick post-mortem on how I found the culprit, fixed the mess, & what I learned so it never happens again. 👇 otee.dev/2025/07/08/personalâ€Ļ

Important & horrifying thread - getting your purse stolen in a foreign land (UK) which carried your residence permit etc And having no empathy or help from London police despite clear CCTV footage (including the thief’s car number). @IndiaNetherland @metpoliceuk
The UK is often seen as the pinnacle of the first world. This is a story of how Indian tourists were looted of their identity, in the city of London in 2023. 1/16

The hotel staff saw the CCTV footage of the thief and called the @metpoliceuk and we were told verbatim that they noted the case down but due to shortage of staff, they will not be able to come to visit 7/16

My wife put her purse beside her, on the same chair that she was sitting on. Exactly one minute later, she was looking for my Kindle and noticed her purse was missing. 5/16
