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.

You are being at best naive, at worst not arguing in good faith, so I find it difficult to take you seriously. This is the moment at which I begin to shift from being 60% certain this site is a fake honeypot to 90% certain at least 90% of you are here for some other reason than to have fair discussion. You seem to be unaware that sites going offline at odd times is a *major* tactic of censors, which allows them to control the viral spread of ideas they do not like. The same happened a year ago around the epstein death and my protests, and your response to my call for logs was very similar. The same happened *to the entire internet* in october 16 when a certain set of emails were leaked and vans were parked outside the ecuadorian embassy in London. I could go on and on.
As a writer, someone who is trying to sell books, and who may not be able to have a normal job because when you tell the truth today it angers very, very powerful interests who do not play fair and wage 5th gen(or plausible deniable douchebaggery) warfare. Places where I work are ddos'd and receive phone harassment among other things, this sort of censorship is devastating. I have received threats of physical violence, at this site as well. (patella whack?) Far more of a life problem than having to answer mere questions about incident reports, when that is in the definition of your job as a sysadmin.
Are you aware that last night when I was trying to respond to you I got the "cannot post to this page" error again, despite having 25 karma, and relogging? Is there some reason that is not a bug? Is there some resaon this error message is not descriptive? It may just be a bug but it is far from the only questionable thing going on here on the side of the admin team.
This sadly fits a pattern of the "apples and oranges" form of censorship, described by someoe else in this excellent meme: https://archive.is/SoybE [archive.is] Is this the first time you have heard of this concept? Can you see how dangerous this is to the functioning of debate in human culture on earth?
If you want to silence someone without direct censorship, you leave that person open to abuse, neglect and incompetence. You do not care that I am falsely modded, harassed. You neglect my posts and requests for fair modification. You ban me from modding for an entire month for a glitch that made me falsely mod someone spam, for some odd reason I am unable to post at random times without explanation. You insult me and say how dare you when I ask about it, repeatedly. q.e.d.
As a final word, consider this exerpt from *my book* on the subject of security culture in civilian group, and how you are, one way or another, failing a major test of trustworthy community leadership:
"Anti-security Culture – Infiltating agents will mock, subvert, reject any attempt at actual security and in every case argue to weaken security or act in such a way that security is undermined. In every case, agents will pretend that infiltration programs such as Cointelpro do not exist, and will rapidly change the subject or exit the situation. I have seen this on numerous, numerous occasions.
Checklist Question – Do they respect and see the need for security culture, and contribute to the safety of the group, or do they undermine it intentionally or by ‘accident’?
Checklist Question – Is the person aware and apologetic for theirIdentifying Police State Infiltration in Civilian Organizations disruption, or do they respond indignation and acrimony?"
You fail both checklist questions, badly. So no I do not feel bad about asking for logs or pointing out the, at best, incompetence of downtime like this, or the potential avenue for censorship this could be. And I question your intentions as an admin of this site.
Defend your actions or prove me right. At least I am glad now you have demonstated without doubt you have the time!
Your response will tell me everything I need to know about how much you care about digital liberty and the trustworthiness of you and this site going forward. Is this just douchebaggery or is it a form of psych warfare? That is the only question that remains to be answered. All I asked for was a real incident report, but you had to be the first to make a personal attack on me. Clutch your pearls and spout "who do you think you are" all you want, but I have spent probably a larger amount of time contributing to this site than you have in the last 18 months(https://archive.is/FHpOa), and what I have to say is more interesting and critical to the dire issues at hand, by any measure. Feel free to word count our total comments and postings, maybe I am in error on this but I am not afraid to see the results, are you?
I apologize for nothing. I think you should rethink your life if this is the best youve got.
