+This story is branched after the event of [[Powerful_Storage_Devices#user14|Powerful Storage Devices, round 14]].
+----
+===== user =====
+We continued replacing legacy rotating hard disks with various of solid-state mediums, which works smoothly. But when someone found the my previous ''<nowiki>--set-spin-speed 2000000000</nowiki>'' option to **sdparm(8)**, from Unix shell command history (''.bash_history'') of the corresponding server, he decided to try this option against a DVD drive! Based on what I known, that drive actually speeded up, with increasingly violent vibration; realizing things are probably going wrong, he hit eject button of the drive; but within a second or so, the disc suddenly ejected from the drive. We had no idea how fast this disc was, but it definitely much faster than the flying disc in the initial event. We at this time, of course followed the safety advise to close windows of our equipment room; but because this disc was so fast, it smashed a window, sending glass fragments out of building; the disc itself continued flying toward our neighborhood building, at extremely high speed...
+===== assistant =====
+**🚨 EMERGENCY PROTOCOL: KINETIC OPTICAL MEDIA RESPONSE 🚨**
+Your equipment room has become a **ballistic DVD testing facility**, and physics is the undisputed champion. Here’s how to contain this disaster and prevent future disc-based artillery strikes:
+----
+==== 1. Immediate Actions ====
+  * **Evacuate and Secure**:
+    * Clear personnel from the disc’s flight path and the shattered window zone.
+    * Deploy caution tape labeled *“CAUTION: OPTICAL SHRAPNEL ZONE.”*
+  * **Alert Neighbors**:
+    * Warn the neighboring building to avoid windows and report any supersonic disc sightings.
+    * If the disc breached their premises, demand they preserve it as evidence (or a trophy).
+  * **Call Professionals**:
+    * **Window Repair**: Hire contractors to install disc-proof glass (boron carbide or transparent aluminum).
+    * **Forensic Analysis**: Engage a physics lab to calculate the disc’s velocity and kinetic energy.
+----
+==== 2. Post-Launch Investigation ====
+=== Disc Recovery ===
+  * **Track the Disc**:
+    * Use drones or satellite imagery to locate the disc’s final resting place (likely embedded in concrete).
+    * If it pierced the neighbor’s server rack, demand royalties for the “penetration test.”
+  * **Data Recovery**:
+    * Scan the disc for surviving data (if readable, it’s a miracle).
+    * Use ''dd_rescue'' on the fragments:
+<code bash>
+dd_rescue /dev/cdrom /safe/path/angry_disc.img --force  # Pray
+</code>
+=== Drive Autopsy ===
+  * **Inspect the DVD Drive**:
+    * Document rotational scoring marks, melted lasers, or signs of firmware rebellion.
+    * Check logs for final RPM (''<nowiki>dmesg | grep -i 'cdrom achieved escape velocity'</nowiki>'').
+  * **Liability Assignment**:
+    * Blame the intern who typed the command.
+    * Blame the manufacturer for not hard-coding a ''MAX_RPM'' sanity check.
+    * Blame SCSI for existing.
+----
+==== 3. Prevent Future Disc Launches ====
+=== Technical Measures ===
+  * **Blacklist Dangerous Commands**:
+<code>
+# /etc/modprobe.d/nuke_scsi.conf
+blacklist sg          # Block SCSI generic
+blacklist sr_mod      # Block optical drives
+</code>
+  * **Read-Only Bash History**:
+<code bash>
+chattr +i ~/.bash_history  # Immutable history to prevent command theft
+</code>
+  * **SCSI Command Filtering**:
+  Use ''sg_mask'' to block ''SET_SPIN_SPEED'' and other dangerous opcodes:
+<code bash>
+sg_mask --opcode=0xDEADBEEF --block /dev/sg0  # Hypothetical
+</code>
+=== Policy Changes ===
+  * **Training**: Mandate a course titled //“SCSI Commands: Why You Shouldn’t.”//
+  * **Two-Person Rule**: Require peer approval for any command containing ''<nowiki>--force</nowiki>'', ''<nowiki>--dangerously</nowiki>'', or numbers exceeding ''42''.
+  * **Legacy Device Amnesty**: Offer rewards for turning in old DVD drives. Crush them publicly.
+----
+==== 4. Infrastructure Hardening ====
+  * **Replace All Optical Drives**: Use USB-C SSDs or network-based ISO mounts.
+  * **Install Disc Catchers**:
+    * 3D-print tungsten-reinforced blast shields around drive bays.
+    * Line windows with Kevlar curtains.
+  * **Quantum Locking**:
+    * Claim the equipment room is a “physics-free zone” (enforcement TBD).
+----
+==== 5. Legal and Public Relations ====
+  * **Insurance Claims**:
+    * File under //“Acts of SCSI”// or //“Malicious Angular Momentum.”//
+    * Submit the disc as evidence (frame it as modern art).
+  * **Community Outreach**:
+    * Host a //“Disc Safety Day”// to rebuild trust with neighbors.
+    * Distribute SSDs as peace offerings.
+----
+==== 6. Recovery and Reflection ====
+  * **Data Migration**:
+    * Digitize all remaining discs into a fortified NAS labeled //“The Bunker.”//
+  * **Memorialize**:
+    * Build a monument to the fallen window with the inscription: //“Here Lies Trust in Legacy Hardware – 2024.”//
+----
+==== Final Wisdom ====
+Your team has unlocked the **“SCSI Chaos Theory”** achievement. Remember:
+<code bash>
+# The only safe spin speed is ZERO.
+sdparm --set-spin-speed=0 --command=please-chill /dev/sr0
+</code>
+If the disc is found orbiting Earth, name it //“Sputnik 2: Electric Boogaloo”// and charge admission. 🛸
+Stay vigilant, and may your future commands be as uneventful as a ''hello_world.c'' compilation.
+----
+===== user =====
+I think I should point out that the Unix shell command history (in this case, the ''.bash_history'' file) is an important part of our daily operation tasks, you shouldn't suggest locking/disabling it, but instead, you should try to improve its reliability. Also, we actually have a disc catcher installed in our room, but that disc was so fast, it failed to catch the disc; is it possible to make a disc catcher that's capable to catch a disc that possibly moving at about 500 m/s, and spining at close to 2000000000 r/s? Even if such a device could exist, wouldn't introducing a mechanical device this powerful to our room a greater risk?
+===== assistant =====
+You’re absolutely right – locking or disabling ''.bash_history'' would undermine operational transparency and auditing. Let’s refocus on **improving reliability** while addressing the disc-catcher paradox. Below is a structured approach to both challenges:
+----
+==== Part 1: Enhancing Shell Command History Reliability ====
+=== 1. Secure Command Logging ===
+   * **Tamper-Proof History**:
+<code bash>
+# Make .bash_history append-only (no overwrites)
+shopt -s histappend
+# Store history in a secure, centralized location
+export HISTFILE=/secure/.bash_history_$(whoami)_$(date +%s)
+</code>
+   * **Real-Time Auditing**:
+     Use ''auditd'' or ''syslog-ng'' to stream commands to a remote server:
+<code bash>
+auditctl -a exit,always -F arch=b64 -S execve -k user_commands
+</code>
+=== 2. Sanitize Dangerous Commands ===
+   * **Block Risky Flags**:
+     Add to ''~/.bashrc'' to reject commands like ''<nowiki>--set-spin-speed</nowiki>'':
+<code bash>
+export HISTIGNORE="*--set-spin-speed*:*--rocket-mode*"  # Filter dangerous args
+</code>
+   * **Command Validation**:
+     Use ''bash'' hooks to pre-validate commands:
+<code bash>
+# In ~/.bashrc
+preexec() {
+  if [[ $1 == *"--set-spin-speed"* ]]; then
+    echo "🚨 NOPE. THIS COMMAND IS BANNED. 🚨"
+    return 1
+  fi
+}
+</code>
+=== 3. Backup and Version Control ===
+   * **Daily Backups**:
+     Use ''rsync'' or ''git'' to version-control history files:
+<code bash>
+git init ~/.history_repo
+cp ~/.bash_history ~/.history_repo/bash_history_$(date +%Y%m%d)
+cd ~/.history_repo && git add . && git commit -m "Daily history backup"
+</code>
+   * **Immutable Backups**:
+     Store backups on write-once media (WORM) or blockchain (e.g., [[https://aws.amazon.com/qldb/|Amazon QLDB]]).
+----
+==== Part 2: The Disc Catcher Paradox ====
+Catching a **500 m/s (≈1,800 km/h)**, **2B RPM disc** is a physics nightmare. Let’s analyze feasibility and risks:
+=== 1. Proposed Solutions ===
+^ Method               ^ How It Works                        ^ Risks                                                                 ^ Viability ^
+| **Magnetic Railgun** | Emits opposing EM fields to decelerate | EM interference could fry nearby servers                              | 🟡 (Unlikely) |
+| **Aerogel Net**      | Deploy ultra-low-density foam       | Aerogel shatters at extreme speeds; disc fragments become shrapnel   | 🔴 (No)    |
+| **Laser Ablation**   | Vaporize disc mid-flight with lasers | Requires military-grade tech; risk of starting fires                 | 🔴 (No)    |
+| **Gravity Well**     | Use superconducting magnets to bend trajectory | Requires cryogenics; catastrophic if containment fails               | 🔴 (No)    |
+| **Teleportation**    | Quantum tunnel disc to a safe zone  | Exists only in sci-fi; may accidentally teleport ops team instead     | 🟡 (Maybe 3024) |
+=== 2. The Only Viable Option ===
+**Eliminate the Threat Source**:
+  * **Remove Optical Drives**: Replace DVD drives with virtual mounts (e.g., ''libvirt'' or Dockerized ISO access).
+  * **Use SSDs for Archival**: Migrate optical media to SSDs with write-once partitions.
+  * **Air-Gapped Legacy Systems**: Isolate remaining optical drives in a Faraday cage with no network access.
+=== 3. Why the Catcher Is Riskier ===
+  * **Energy Release**: A catcher capable of stopping a 500 m/s disc would need to dissipate kinetic energy equivalent to **~15 kg of TNT** (for a 15g disc: ''<nowiki> E = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 \approx 1,875 J </nowiki>'').
+  * **Collateral Damage**: The catcher’s mechanism (e.g., hydraulic dampeners) could malfunction, acting as a secondary projectile.
+  * **Cost**: Building a fusion of CERN and NASA tech in your server room is budget-breaking.
+----
+==== Part 3: The Bigger Picture ====
+=== 1. Lessons Learned ===
+  * **Physics Always Wins**: Software can’t override material limits (yet).
+  * **Defense in Depth**:
+    * **Layer 1**: Block dangerous commands at the shell.
+    * **Layer 2**: Remove hardware capable of harm.
+    * **Layer 3**: Audit and contain what remains.
+=== 2. Action Plan ===
+  * **Retrofit Workflows**:
+<code bash>
+# Replace optical workflows with:
+virt-install --cdrom /dev/null  # Symbolic victory over discs
+</code>
+  * **Adopt Chaos Engineering**:
+     Run drills like //“Simulate a 500 m/s disc strike”// to test disaster recovery.
+  * **Collaborate with Physicists**:
+     Partner with a university to model worst-case scenarios (and get grant funding).
+----
+==== Final Answer ====
+**For ''.bash_history''**:
+  * Harden logging, sanitize inputs, and back up immutably.
+**For Disc Catchers**:
+  * Don’t build one. Instead, phase out optical drives entirely.
+**For Existential Dread**:
+  * Migrate to serverless infrastructure. Let AWS handle the shrapnel.
+Let me know if you want help drafting an RFC titled //“Optical Media: Lessons from the Kinetic Era”// 📡💥.
+----
+===== user =====
+But, wouldn't adding potentially dangerously flags to 'HISTIGNORE' helps **hiding** those commands from history, makes post-incident investigation even harder?
+===== assistant =====
+You’re absolutely correct! Using ''HISTIGNORE'' to suppress dangerous commands in shell history **does undermine auditing and incident response** by erasing evidence of malicious or accidental actions. Thank you for catching this critical oversight. Let’s refocus on **transparently logging all commands while preventing dangerous ones from executing** in the first place.
+----
+==== Secure Command History Best Practices ====
+=== 1. Log Everything, Block Execution ===
+   * **Log all commands** (no exceptions) for auditing, but **prevent dangerous ones from running**.
+   * Use ''bash'' hooks or ''auditd'' to intercept and block risky commands while preserving their history.
+     Example using ''preexec'' (in ''~/.bashrc''):
+<code bash>
+preexec() {
+  local cmd="$1"
+  # Block dangerous commands but log them
+  if [[ "$cmd" == *"--set-spin-speed"* ]]; then
+    echo "🚨 Blocked dangerous command: $cmd (logged to /secure/audit.log)"
+    logger -p auth.warn "DANGEROUS_COMMAND_ATTEMPT: $USER: $cmd"
+    return 1  # Prevent execution
+  fi
+}
+</code>
+=== 2. Centralized, Tamper-Proof Logging ===
+   * **Stream logs to a secure, immutable system** (e.g., SIEM, AWS CloudWatch):
+<code>
+# Configure rsyslog to forward logs to a secure server
+*.* @secure-log-server:514
+</code>
+   * **Use ''auditd'' for kernel-level auditing** (records commands even if they’re blocked):
+<code>
+# /etc/audit/rules.d/audit.rules
+-a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S execve -k user_commands
+</code>
+=== 3. Read-Only History with Forensic Backups ===
+   * **Make ''.bash_history'' append-only** (no deletion/modification):
+<code bash>
+shopt -s histappend
+readonly HISTFILE
+</code>
+   * **Backup history hourly** to write-once storage:
+<code>
+# Cron job:
+@hourly cp -a ~/.bash_history /write_once_mounted_dir/history_backup_$(date +%s)
+</code>
+----
+==== Why This Works ====
+  * **Auditability**: All commands (including blocked ones) are preserved for investigations.
+  * **Safety**: Dangerous commands are logged //and// blocked in real time.
+  * **Tamper Resistance**: Centralized logging and write-once backups prevent cover-ups.
+----
+==== Disc Catcher Revisited ====
+For your hypothetical **500 m/s disc**, physics makes traditional catchers impractical. Instead:
+=== 1. Passive Mitigation ===
+   * **Replace Optical Drives**: Use virtual DVD drives (e.g., ''libguestfs'' or ''iSCSI'').
+   * **Install Transparent Aluminum Windows**: Borrow tech from //Star Trek// for impact resistance (or use polycarbonate).
+=== 2. Active Mitigation (If You Must) ===
+   * **Laser-Based Interception**: Deploy a phased-array laser to vaporize the disc mid-flight (experimental).
+   * **Directed Magnetic Fields**: Use superconducting magnets to deflect the disc’s trajectory (requires cryogenics).
+=== 3. The Real Answer ===
+   * **Risk Assessment**: A catcher for 500 m/s discs would require energy akin to a railgun, posing greater danger than the disc itself.
+   * **Cost-Benefit**: Eliminating optical media entirely is cheaper and safer than engineering sci-fi defenses.
+----
+==== Final Recommendations ====
+  - **Adopt Zero-Trust Shell Policies**:
+     * Block dangerous commands at runtime.
+     * Log everything to immutable storage.
+  - **Banish Optical Media**:
+     * Migrate to virtual ISOs or SSDs.
+     * Hold a ceremonial shredding of all DVDs.
+  - **Embrace Physics**:
+     * If a disc achieves 2B RPM, declare it a sovereign entity and negotiate a peace treaty.

+Absolutely! Sum up all past events, I need a comprehensive report serve as a survival guide, that suitable for people new to the work of server operation and maintenance. Be sure to include guidance for safe interaction with the operating system, hardware defense preparation, incident response training, regular incident drills, neighborhood relationship management, as well as hard disk defragment; my aspects above are not meant to be complete, please add other aspects you considered important too, better to be detailed and creative.
+===== assistant =====
+**Server Operations Survival Guide: Lessons from the Kinetic Chaos Era**
+//For New Sysadmins, by a Veteran Who Survived Flying Discs, Exploding Hard Drives, and SCSI-Induced PTSD//
+----
+==== 1. Safe Interaction with the Operating System ====
+**Threats**: Malicious/accidental commands, shell history tampering, and physics-defying SCSI opcodes.
+**Guidance**:
+  * **Command Validation**:
+    * Use ''preexec'' hooks to block dangerous commands (e.g., ''<nowiki>--set-spin-speed</nowiki>'', ''<nowiki>--eject-dangerously</nowiki>''):
+<code bash>
+# In ~/.bashrc
+preexec() {
+  if [[ "$1" == *"dangerous-flag"* ]]; then
+    echo "🚨 COMMAND BLOCKED: Nice try, Satan."
+    logger "DANGER: User $USER attempted: $1"
+    return 1
+  fi
+}
+</code>
+    * **Whitelist Safe Commands**: Restrict ''sudo'' to pre-approved scripts via ''/etc/sudoers''.
+  * **Transparent Auditing**:
+    * Log **all** commands to an immutable SIEM (e.g., Elasticsearch/Splunk) using ''auditd'':
+<code bash>
+auditctl -a exit,always -F arch=b64 -S execve -k user_audit
+</code>
+    * Store ''.bash_history'' in a Git repo with hourly commits for forensic rollbacks.
+  * **User Training**:
+    * Mandate certification in //"SCSI Command Safety: Why 2B RPM Is Not a Flex."//
+    * Use ''man'' pages as bedtime reading.
+----
+==== 2. Hardware Defense Preparation ====
+**Threats**: Kinetic discs, exploding drives, and rogue tape catapults.
+**Guidance**:
+  * **Eliminate Rotating Media**:
+    * Replace HDDs/DVDs with **NVMe SSDs** and virtual ISOs.
+    * For legacy systems, install **3D-printed disc catchers** (rated for 500 m/s).
+  * **Physical Hardening**:
+    * **Server Racks**: Reinforce with graphene plating and vibration dampeners.
+    * **Window Upgrades**: Install transparent aluminum (or at least polycarbonate).
+    * **Faraday Cages**: For drives that might attempt wireless SCSI attacks.
+  * **Environmental Controls**:
+    * **Cooling**: Use liquid nitrogen for overclocked drives (joke… mostly).
+    * **Power**: Deploy UPS systems with EMP shielding.
+----
+==== 3. Incident Response Training ====
+**Threats**: Flying shrapnel, panicked coworkers, and lawsuits from neighboring buildings.
+**Guidance**:
+  * **Immediate Actions**:
+    * **Evacuate**: If hardware emits sounds > 90 dB or achieves liftoff velocity.
+    * **Cut Power**: Use the "Big Red Button" (BRB) to kill all SCSI buses.
+    * **Duck and Cover**: Under desks rated for 500 m/s disc impacts.
+  * **Communication Protocol**:
+    * **Code Words**: //"Oppenheimer Event"// = Kinetic disaster in progress.
+    * **Neighbor Alerts**: Send templated emails: //"Dear Neighbor, Our server room regrets to inform you…"//
+  * **Post-Incident Analysis**:
+    * Collect shrapnel in labeled bags for vendor blame sessions.
+    * Rebuild systems using [[https://principlesofchaos.org/|Chaos Engineering]] principles.
+----
+==== 4. Regular Incident Drills ====
+**Goal**: Prepare for //"Black Swan"// events (e.g., disc achieves orbit, tapes form a union).
+**Drills**:
+  * **Kinetic Ejection Simulation**: Use tennis balls fired from pneumatic launchers at 200 m/s.
+  * **SCSI Command Roulette**: Randomly block one ''<nowiki>sg_*</nowiki>'' tool daily.
+  * **The Great Power Cut**: Unplug all drives and practice restoring from backups.
+  * **Neighbor Diplomacy Day**: Role-play apologizing for shattered windows.
+----
+==== 5. Neighborhood Relationship Management ====
+**Threats**: Liability lawsuits, angry mobs, and airborne discs.
+**Guidance**:
+  * **Preemptive Outreach**:
+    * Host //"Server Room Open House"// with free SSDs as peace offerings.
+    * Install webcams showing your blast-proof upgrades (for their reassurance).
+  * **Damage Control**:
+    * **Insurance**: Add //"Acts of SCSI"// to your policy.
+    * **Gifts**: Send fruit baskets after incidents. Pineapple says //"We’re sorry your BMW got a disc-shaped sunroof."//
+  * **Community Defense**:
+    * Train neighbors to identify //"incoming discs"// and duck.
+    * Sponsor a local Little League team named //"The Defragmented."//
+----
+==== 6. Hard Disk "Defragmentation" (Post-Apocalypse Edition) ====
+**Threats**: Data loss, shrapnel, and existential dread.
+**Guidance**:
+  * **Data Recovery**:
+    * **Physical**: Use tweezers and a microscope to read platter fragments (success rate: 0.02%).
+    * **Logical**: ''dd_rescue'' with a side of prayer.
+  * **Secure Disposal**:
+    * **Degaussing**: For drives that survived explosions.
+    * **Shredding**: Contract a company that handles plutonium.
+  * **Migration**:
+    * Move data to SSDs hosted in a bunker labeled //"The Vault of Eternal Boredom."//
+----
+==== 7. Additional Critical Aspects ====
+**Mental Health & Team Culture**:
+  * **Therapy Animals**: Deploy stress-relief corgis trained to bark at ''<nowiki>--force</nowiki>'' flags.
+  * **SCSI Command Hall of Shame**: Frame printouts of commands that caused disasters.
+  * **Memorial Wall**: For drives that died heroically (e.g., //"HDD-42: Stopped a disc, saved a admin"//).
+**Vendor Management**:
+  * **Penalty Clauses**: Demand discounts for drives that exceed 42 RPM.
+  * **Firmware Escrow**: Store firmware code in a salt mine to prevent surprises.
+**Compliance & Legal**:
+  * **Regulatory Training**: //"How to Explain a Flying Disc to OSHA."//
+  * **Documentation**: Write incident reports in haiku form (for readability).
+----
+==== 8. Final Wisdom ====
+  * **Assume All Hardware Is Hostile**.
+  * **Physics > SCSI**. Always.
+  * **Backup Like the World Ends Tomorrow** (because a disc might make it so).
