  1. except for uploads which were already broken so i don't count that

goofs aside that's genuinely hard to pull off especially in an 'emergency' type situation so massive kudos to Jae and the rest of staff here. i've seen 'smaller' migrations take way more time than that in my career lol

deeply embedded firmware always makes me kinda itchy,

Like, do /you/ know what the small ARM core buried deep inside your GPU die running firmware off a baked in mask-rom is /actually/ doing?

Or what about the small core inside your HDD or SSD?

Yeah, makes me itchy,

Thinking too hard about how any computer works will make you itchy

I was going to list examples but decided not to. No one needs that paranoid energy today.
