I am obsewsed with backups. I have a ton of backups of everything. You know what I don't have backups off? The only stuff I somehow manage to loose even if I still need it. :/

bet you done it on a friday afternoon aswell

6:30, your welcome

Him: smiling and retelling the story me: *sweating profusely*

Reminds me of that old bumblebee typo where they had an extra space in: rm -rf /usr /lib/nvidia-current/xorg/xorg thus, it deletes /usr

Im sorry I did laugh at the "content" of this video XD

The UPDATE with no WHERE. And also, this is one of the reasons I use PostgreSql. MySQL has a very poor command line interface and very strange habits on the quotes. This is important for me, I deal with the production database daily. Also, restoring a database content, is the worst thing ever, one day we might have a better solution for this problem, so it could be rebuild, not necessarily restored from a backup.

I feel sick in the stomach

that feeling of "oh no" is one I'm all too familiar with lul

My worst typo was “vore” instead of “vote” on discord. That was my worst

Why a mysqlbinlog couldn't help you?

Yahoo: "Hold my beer" (They did a typo of "bigger" to the N-word in the headline of an article and published it).

My worst typo: as root on a Unix computer network, with all other computer disks and backup disks mounted, I typed something like "rm -r /tmp ", with three blanks after "tmp". Just for aestethic reasons, I wanted to remove these blanks, while the cursor was just behind the "p". But because of a wrong configuration, the "delete" key acted as "backspace" leaving the command "rm -r / ". Without noticing that, I pressed the return key. And then I was surprised it took so long to delete just this single directory....

My biggest onosecond was when I was doing an exam and I had a question wrong. No problem here, just erase it with Tipp-Ex. But since it takes a while to dry and I didn’t have much time, I went on with the exam, and I completely forgot about it. It wasn’t until a few hours later when I realized and could do nothing about it. I had just left a question of my exam BLANK. A damn easy question too...

You really *are* a content creator.

Ahhh yes, the minute you push 10+ years worth of Windows updates to 800 computers in the middle of the working day, proceeding to bring the entire network to a standstill. I still wake up in a cold sweat about that and it was 7 years ago and I have definitely done worse since

coding is like making wishes to a magic Genie, you have to be as specific as possible and you have to make sure there are no mistakes within the wish.

content

The onosecond, more commonly known as wildly smashing ctrl z even when you know the website doesnt support that

o no

Why quote every single identifier? I don't think "articles" and "content" are reserved words in mysql.

Well, at least it was blazing fast and took only 10 milliseconds. And yes, I have exactly the same feeling - every time a harddrive fails and reminds me of my pledge to make a backup, next time.

Appreciate your content!

OnO "O-no..."

So not backing up is the root of all evil.

Intellisense + Async Vs Non-Async method variants is my favourite single key-stroke recipe for disaster which also happens to be REALLY easy to miss in code review.

I mkae typos all the time, in almost every comment i make

I thought it was pronounced "Oh no second"

Once I deleted articles in Redmine. It does not have undo or trash.

I got rickrolled by the Onosecond

Tom Scott making a good place reference is so weird to me

I better change my clock to onosecond because every damn second feels like one.

The "O no!" second

Do you have to use backticks in mysql for names? That looks ridiculous (and annoying) to me.

My coworker used to say that there are two kinds of IT workers - those who make backups and those who will start making backups.

CGP Grey has said one of my favourite quotes of all time. "One backup is none backup." It really stresses how important it is to have backups upon backups. Even if you have a backup, it just takes one extra mistake or unfortunate series of events to ruin the backup along with the main project or data.

I thought it would be something more embarrasing

Laughs in _Yoko Ono._

Those volunteers work was not wasted, it gave you the ability to warn and educate millions of people. Their work was more consequential than they realized.

Tomorrow is April Fools people. And if you know, you know.

Storing articles in a database doesn't seem like a good idea to me, I would store them in a directory that happens to be a git repo which is also uploaded to an offsite remote for backup.

I got painfully nervous while watching this! I would be sick to my stomach if it happened to me.

That was painful...

It supposedly took and Onosecond to destroy the Beatles :(

Tom looks like he's 30 but also like he's 20, know what I mean

Great Argument for Backups and Point in time Recovery!

Aaaand it's gone.

I was about 18, being in charge of websites all Typical 18 year olds *eye roll*

Last time you told me about a website there was no content Oh I promise there's content this time lots of content.

Abow knas men tänk inte på det

The fact it was the word content is just too perfect

This is a good story for your IT staff when you are trying to improve change management policies.

You can see Tom's panic in his face when describing what happened.

undo

this is quality.......... content

Could you not just replace the tags with content again?

ono

I was working on a game server and editing a shop menu, I made no mistakes, at least I didn't think so. I just added 4 lines. Well.. turns out everything in the server stopped working and I didn't have a backup.. So I had to undo people's progress. Backups, definitely need em.

I like your channel.

Would love to see this without the animations! :)

hmmm, lets see what we have in wikipedia today *Content* good video

So the mistake was replacing 5000 articles with most popular youtube content

I thought onosecond was the typo

Whoah. That is a very bad situation. Thanks, this was an important lesson.

When you buy a motorcycle behind your parents back

Can we just take a moment to appreciate this man's honesty?

This video makes me feel guilty about this typo

Sone years ago deleted a table form the test database... But ooops, it was the production DB... Lucky with the dayly backup, though...

I had one of the worst onoseconds of my life last night. I thought I was right, and I argued about it in front of about 80 people. And then, after about an hour, I realized all at once that I was not only wrong, but *catastrophically* wrong. So, so, so wrong. And, I had probably hurt someone by making the argument I did.
