2,089,351 Reasons to Put Down the Keyboard After a 26 Hour Shift [FR status report]

Well, the good news first. After installing three very sweet machines and new networking equipment, FR is geared up for the onslaught of traffic we anticipate during this election cycle. All that is left is some tuning and bringing online another database server.

The bad news: I goofed horribly this morning and wiped the articles table, a file that stores crucial information for displaying articles.

Fortunately, the data is backed up. I'm working on restoring it, but it may possibly take the rest of the day to bring it back fully.

So don't touch that dial!

UPDATE: Restored a couple million old articles. Still working on the most recent, which need to be restored from incremental backups (very slow!)

Well that’s good to hear, although believing we were victims of some sort of left wing conspiracy was a lot more fun to go with. ha ha!

Did you get that sinking feeling in your stomach when you found out what you did? I hate that feeling...

On the upside, FR runs much faster without articles and threads. :)

Thank you so much! I wish I could give you coffee, but I’m here in Ohio clinging to my religion and guns.

Can’t we at least fake hyperbolic panic for 600 posts as standard operating procedures outline?

You rock Jim. Thanks for keeping us all Free, as in Republic.

BTW - I had just finished saying to my bro-in-law “Ya’ know, I’m not too worried about this huge govt bailout, mega socialist deal. I’ll really start worrying when FR goes blank.” then 5 minutes later...blank...kinda spooky. :-)

Many years ago I learned that even if all you do for a living is wash tea cups, now and then you will break one.

Good luck on the fix.
