V.J. Jerome: The revisionist theory of accretion through reforms, of a peaceful succession to Socialism, of the substitution of an inter-class coalition government for the dictatorship of the proletariat, is manifestly in diametric opposition to everything that Marxism stands for the notion of an arithmetic progression of democratic reforms until the cipher Socialism is attained, constitutes an outright denial of dialectics in the social process. It represents the rejection of the dialectics of democracy, and its replacement by the metaphysical concept of democracy as an abstract, immutable, class-transcending form of society, as a form of society which is ideal both for bourgeoisie and proletariat, and which can therefore best be achieved through the harmonious collaboration of the classes. This is the "Marxism" of social democracy. And against this degradation of the revolutionary theory of the proletariat, Leninism comes forward in struggle. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote7071

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.
