Postmortem September 17th outage and rollback

[Vect]

I guess a few hundred thousand autismo stickers is a small price to pay.

So how likely is that likely to happen again, realistically?

 

[X Prime]

So, "most" of the time was spent on importing the stickers.

Can we get a number here? I am thinking 5 hours minimum. That's kind of funny in a horrifying way.

Thanks for making sure this site can always come back. Some threads here are seriously indispensable.

 

[PonderosaPete]

Thank you for your hard work.

I don't know the terminology for drives, I don't even like touching them. They're WD M.2 1.6TB enterprise drives in a frontloading form factor which should not shit out unless I am seriously abusing them with writes continuously.

makes sense, I thought someone made a NVMe hard drive but I couldn't find anything on it when I looked it up

 

[not william stenchever]

I will choose to blame the stickers.

 

[Bristly Bill]

Good job null, hope cleaning the fluid out of the drives wasn't too laborious.

 

[Null]

How likely is it that 4 disks can break simultaneously?

More likely than you think if they're rated for the same writes, come from the same batch, are installed at the same time, and used in a raid.

Have you ever thought it possible that someone might try to physically sabotage Kiwi Farms?

 

[The Hero of Kvatch]

Kiwi Farms going down is like 9/11 for autistic people.

stickers are infinitely more important than content

 

[Sneak 'n' Snore]

My wife and I got into an argument so I hit her over the head with the Kiwifarms hard drive. A grand number of post stickers lost.

 

[Local Fed]

It's so over. Billions must die. We are so fucking back. Thousands shall sneed.

 

[RiceofSkywalker]

Man, the server's HDDs and Network Adapters love to die on Saturday/Sunday nights. Not only can't you catch a break, but they die at the most inconvenient of times.

 

[Dean Pentel]

I am guessing there is some sort of adapter on the frontloader's backplate which combines them to a single mobo PCIe slot or something and that shit out.

So more likely a part failure related to the drives and not four different drives simultaneously failing?

 

[TheGuntinator]

Yeah, hey, sorry that was me. I posted something embarassing and got negrated so I had to wipe that day from the records before it was too late.

Spoiler: Lol

jk

 

[Pissmaster]

I am perfectly fine with nuking all the old stickers left on everything and starting fresh if they really cause that much trouble.

 

[Chihiro]

Nothing can keep the Kiwi Farms down. Not even the Kiwi Farms.

 

[mindlessobserver]

An entire days worth of autism. Gone. Like tears in the rain.
