Yeah, so, failure to babysit the db node that was scheduled for a reboot on the 5th resulted in a bit of database FUBAR that left us temporarily losing everything from then to now. Fortunately we had a backup less than six hours old, restored from it, and appear to be copacetic now. Except for the missing five hours and change.

I'd usually make some sort of dumb joke here but it was already four hours past my bedtime when I found out about the problem. My brain is no work good anymore. Fill in whatever dad joke or snark about getting a do-over for a change strikes your fancy.

    Ya think? I considered it one of the most in line with the rest of humanity things he's ever said. Mind you, our community tends to be a cut above the rest of humanity in many aspects in my personal opinion.

      I figured it was caused by us self-selecting to come here from /. for the reasons we did.
