Meta: Unplanned DB Maintainence

from the there-go-most-of-our-nines dept.

As you're probably aware we experienced some unplanned downtime today. It has been claimed it was entirely the fault of Russian Hackers. They invaded fluorine and caused the database updating code in rehash to not update the database this last site update. Which is just as well, I suppose, since two of the SQL statements refuse to complete even when run manually. That I'm going to have to chalk up to a misconfigured ndbd on helium and neon.

tl;dr The long and short of it is, we'll be fine until we can get those updates into the database, but it is going to mean more downtime this weekend.

    Wow. You sound like such a happy and well rounded person. Here's the thing - when you actually have to waste energy telling everyone what a successful, totally definitely alpha, six figure earning idol you are and what a loser they are in comparison, then you just ain't got it. Real success, attractiveness and power are effortless and understated. When you've really got it you don't have to mouth off because they just know. Oh, by the way, your communication skills are second to none. I can see they must serve you well in that high flying career.

    Real success [is] effortless

    While I acknowledge and support your overall message, I question this bit. I have put in quite a bit of effort, and that seems to be the norm...

      Aww shucks; you just had to go and ruin it. Should seem effortless then. For some it is effortless but that's often as much down to luck than ability. Either way, the dude tries too hard. If you've got a great dick, you don't need to blab about it. Word soon gets around.
