George Habash: In today’s world no one is innocent, no one a neutral. A man is either with the oppressed or he is with the oppressors. He who takes no interest in politics gives his blessing to the prevailing order, that of the ruling classes and exploiting forces. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote7440
Harry F. Ward: To sit in with these small groups of workers, to attend the larger production conferences, is to see the term 'creative democracy' come alive. At the top the knowledge of the experts, along the way the capacities of the managers and technicians, make the plan possible. At the bottom it is the experience and the will of the workers that makes the plan the fusion of the lives of all in forming the shape of things to come. So democracy becomes more than the exercise of rights. In its economic form it is the common effort to achieve common aims. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote7441
<Insert Profanities>
So the temporary system had some sort of failure, I'm not even 100% sure what caused it to be honest. It went down sometime yesterday and some of the virtual drives got corrupted, which caught the database and the virtual gateway device.
I was able to restore the system... most of the way. Thankfully there are backups of the database, but some of them were also flawed as well, the most recent intact one was from 5/16, so 5 days were lost.
To be clear, this problem was exacerbated by the fact that there's not as much redundancy in the temporary setup (sadly it looks like it'll be a few more months before I have a place of my own and can spin up my own hardware again). But I'm going to still look at how I might get those in better shape.
As far as how long it took: I had a busy day yesterday and didn't see that the server was down until I was too exhausted to do anything about it, so it had to wait until I got off work today... each attempt at restoring the database takes around an hour, so that took *a while* to get restored.
