I worded that a bit poorly, didn't mean to say I couldn't log in, just figured maybe exiting the browser and logging in again after a bit might fix some things. Couldn't post as they said, the button to show the password when logging in didn't work, attempting to give posts stickers failed to bring open the menu, that one happens quite a lot when something goes wrong. Replying on/to profile posts also did not function.
Good to hear that because I was initially suspicious of troon shenanigans from some insider.
Hopefully Mysql dump/restore is smart enough to disable indexes(and FK constraints and similar) during the restore and replace them after... if not then I could see 120,000,000 stickers taking a while.
The ross and juice emotes are gone!
Troons working for WD have had a backdoor in the SSD firmware just in case Joshua Moon of Kiwi Farms, racist, homophobic, koumpounophobic, swatting forum got a hold of some and then and nuked all of them at once
Wait, how did you get 6 million reaction stickers in 4 posts?
When I first joined this website, I was impressed at the number of fancy things it does for its users. Many of them are append-only sequences of indefinite size. Stickers would best be represented as a list of reaction type and user elements, but there are probably other representations needed for efficient implementation of other features. If all of the stickers are verified and transformed into other representations, I can see it taking a while, although not hours.
Software wishes it could be as reliable as hardware. Unfortunately, yes, the trend is for hardware to become as reliable as software, in the worst possible way.
My thoughts is an input failure as stated by others, or a single SSD failure that overloaded the others leading to a cascade failure of the entire setup. The IT guy seems to think a firmware bug is likely, which is also possible. I HIGHLY doubt that 4 drives all completely failed all at once, even if they were made on the same day, sequentially after each other. That's just a hair short of impossible.
This makes me think of Kiwifarms HQ as some kind of Barad-Dûr esque fortress, though this time the Orcs are attacking us.
it is not uncommon for entire ssd raid arrays to fail at (roughly) the same time as the drives all roughly have the same lifetime
Imagine being a troon who's wasted years of your already shortened life trying to bring down an autistic gossip site filled with harmless retards, only for you to fail spectacularly at every instance. But then, out of nowhere, the site drops and you are vindicated, all the federal crimes you committed to bring those transphobes down came to fruition and you can now harass women and children in peace.
Skill issue
There were the HP SSDs that all failed after an exact number of hours, so if you started with them brand new and put them in an array together, they'd all fail practically on the same nanosecond.
Is there a deadman switch in place to upload a torrent of the site in case something happens to you? I don't think trannies are going to assassinate you, but people die in traffic every day.
It's much much MUCH more likely that something happened on one drive that "took them all down" from the viewpoint of the machine, though usually rebooting it recovers mostly. ZFS can go sideways but the admin sounds competent enough to notice the old "off by one" errors that cause all drives to be foreign and need importing.
