Back to normal.
Sorry about the outage folks. That was a big enough PITA I figured I'd post an explanation directly on all the active boards.

The datacenter the servers are in had a total power failure around 11:30 AM ET. My host is investigating what happened and why battery backup failed as well.

When the servers cam back online, PHP, the programming language the boards are written in, was "f***ed good and proper" as an industrial mechanic I know would say. It took me another hour or so to beat on PHP hard enough to get it to perform well.

So ... all is back to normal. Apologies for your ~4 unexpectedly productive hours this afternoon.

Now back to your regularly scheduled sh*tposting. 04-rock

Don't you hate it when that happens? Thanks for the update. For a while there, I thought I had been banned and nobody told me.

There's no reset button?

It's a very complicated (and to 95% of people boring) explanation as to issues with PHP and performing at scale and how things are radically different between PHP 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, and 7. Glad when Aurora is launched I'll have washed my hands of PHP.

Did you try turning it off then turning it back on?

Obviously I'm a peon.

Just seems like it was working great before the crash ... so just set the states of the system to match that and hit go.

The software stack wasn't static during that timespan. Some libraries were updated to patch security flaws. While PHP was running, having the library change from underneath it caused no problems. However upon restarting PHP from a stopped state ... Titanic.gif

Darn it. We didn't get to discuss Oklahoma Panhandle State's move up to the Sun Belt right when it happened.

It was the FCC. They have been reading the spin room and just fired a shot to get your attention. You know, fake news. Anyway that board has long been under surveillance as a misinformation hub, and they've been checking the logged board hours of the posters to see if those on unemployment actually spent anytime looking for work.

You know this board being "normal" isn't always a good thing.

I can see how your post might be amusing to those who don't know the difference between software and the physical world.
