Speaking of Sun alumni, there's also Brendan Gregg's one weird trick for inducing disk latency (spinning disks hate him!): https://youtu.be/tDacjrSCeq4 https://youtu.be/tDacjrSCeq4 Side note: that scream makes a superb notification tone for people you don't like, or PagerDuty. I also heard a good yarn once where a customer's DSL service inexplicably stopped working at exactly the same time every day, and after weeks of troubleshooting and changing absolutely everything, with pretty much everyone involved ready to give up, a senior network engineer sitting in the guy's living room happened to notice the street light directly outside turning on at the same time. Turns out the lamp was poorly shielded and throwing enough RF into the poor customer's apartment to light up Pittsburgh. Never heard what came of that, though I imagine that call to public works was interesting.
