The Ubuntu 8.04 one turned out to be the backup, which had taken over because the main server gave up. Their main server? Windows Server 2003.

Also halfway, they discovered that they lost half their long term archive due to ransomware. They managed to recover the other half because it already got leaked first.

The first half sounds so true to me. Like it was an intern that really wanted a replica set, but instead of using the same platform the company was using, hacked together something running on Linux. Ofc they didn't tell anyone how it worked, and everyone else knew windows server so no one poked it.

It used to be running on a spare pentium 4, but was virtualized as no one knew why things stopped working when it was turned off

you'd get to the 6th episode and then the 7th would just be "@todo complete this later"

and none of the stage directions would be documented.
