Slashdot Mirror
A Note On Thursday's Downtime
If you were browsing the site on Thursday, you may have noticed that we went static for a big chunk of the day. A few of you asked what the deal was, so here's quick follow-up. The short version is that a storage fault led to significant filesystem corruption, and we had to restore a massive amount of data from backups. There's a post at the SourceForge blog going into a bit more detail, and describing the steps our Siteops team took (and is still taking) to restore service. (Slashdot and SourceForge share a corporate overlord, as well as a fair bit of infrastructure.)
Isn't NSA world's most famous backup solution? Just ask them for the data. 'NSA cloud', now for more than just political prosecution and government oppression and corporate theft (and an occasional viewing of your dick). Backup your data with us! It is also paid by debt and inflation, so you don't even have to pay for the service, you have already paid!
As to /. ..... I have no words, only adjectives left for you.
You can't handle the truth.
/. Is does enough trolling of its own, all the sjw crap and more. Trolls are professionals now.
You can't handle the truth.
