As many of you noticed, we had a site crash today. From around 1300 until 2200 UTC (2021-05-20).
A HUGE thank you goes to mechanicjay who spent the whole time trying to get our ndb (cluster) working again. It's an uncommon configuration, which made recovery especially challenging... there's just not a lot of documentation about it on the web.
I reached out and got hold of The Mighty Buzzard on the phone. Then put him in touch with mechanicjay who got us back up and running using backups.
Unfortunately, we had to go way back until April 14 to get a working backup. (I don't know all the details, but it appears something went sideways on neon).
We're all wiped out right now. When we have rested and had a chance to discuss things, we'll post an update.
In the meantime, please join me in thanking mechanicjay and TMB for all they did to get us up and running again!

Total Pilpul comment, or bot comment.
This isn't the '90's anymore. Free speech is now a conservative policy, not a "libtard" one. If you don't believe me, look at Reddit and Facebook.
I remember that discussion, and compared to the others, moderation was totally balanced there, it being a charged topic. If you're gonna complain about mod imbalances and being modded into oblivion, then try criticizing cancel culture, woke bullshit, unnecessary lockdowns/vaccinations, and BLM riots. Then, you will truly see the downmod sockpuppetry at work.
Linux: All the corporate ownership of Windows, with none of the functionality. "Stupid Windows users." "Yeah I know, Microsoft is a corporation and won't let you see the code. But with Linux there are many eyes on the code so it's secure." It isn't the year 2000 anymore, Linux is completely corporate and spook-owned. Look at its "sponsors" if you don't believe me.
Hey stupid, just because you went woke doesn't mean that everybody else in the tech industry did. Anti-wokers are the new "niggers" of the internet. When the woke fad starts to wind down in a year or three because it's alienated everybody except you, I doub't you'll take away any lesson from it.
Huh, I seem to remember TMB saving your asses, so apparently some people DO want to work with TMB -- I'd hire him over anybody with pronouns and a BLM stamp in their resume, because I know he's gonna get shit done rather than find faults with everybody else. A lot of EF's comments are crap but he's made plenty of good ones, many of which brought the crybabies out of the woodwork to whine because he bruised their fragile egos. It's like being the jock in a room full of fat White kids. I think a lot of people just don't want to admit that they were wrong about woke bullshit as their narratives crumble all around them.

Hahahaha
That explains why all the conservative moderated platforms ban people for ideological violations. As usual you nutbars have it backwards but believe the lies you're told.
