Data Loss
Oct 11, 2016 12:36 PM #1

It looks like we've lost 9 months worth of data. What appears to have happened is that the redis dump (the on disk back up of our data) was no longer being updated by the board periodically as it should have been, so that data was only surviving in memory. This may be because our data has gotten massive, and so when I power cycled the board this AM because it appeared laggy, assuming everything would be groovy, poof. And when I pulled the backup from 7 hours ago... Well. No unpoof

The authors of node bb had suggested I move over from redis to mongo but I had not attempted to migrate the data as of yet. I think this is probably an appropriate time to do so and upgrade the board to latest, since we lost a bunch of data anyway.

Sorry about this guys. I will look at upgrading as soon as I can.

I'm going to get help from the nodebb guys in upgrading our dump file to mongodb, but what that means is that any changes to the data between that now and when i restore with mongo will be lost. happy thoughts! glad this happened before basketball season.

It was a bit chippy 9 months ago. Too bad about the data loss; glad I was caught up on my reading!

Yeah you're right the board has been pretty non confrontational of late.... Think some of the early side of that lost data was pretty chippy, so lost some good, some bad.

@approxinfinity hmmmmm?

Oct 11, 2016 02:27 PM #6

@approxinfinity Oh ok, I was just freakin out couldn't figure out what had happened. It's all good at least you helped me out knowing why, no biggie I really enjoy this site so much information from everyone love it. I know I'm sure it takes a lot of work as far as I'm concerned no reason to apologize - -But thanks for letting me know I knew someone could get me an answer. I thought MY computer screwed up somehow - -Don't worry it's all good thanks so much. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Resets like this are fascinating micro events that some Ph.d. student of online communities should dissertate on.

Going from total digital recall to zero is fascinating.

I wonder if the information is lost to the NSA, also?

Or if its in some private sector server's backup files somewhere someplace?

Or if it is scattered throughout the cloud in packets that are marked for reconnection to a destination that no longer exists?

We live in such an amazingly unprecedented time.

What has happened to KUBuckets is a small example of why FEMA COG likely operates through a rapidly expanding deep space network and maintains military installations on a number of planets, or planet moons, or orbiting those bodies, located around the solar system.

The grand strategy of warfare is likely to significant degree being redefined without us really grasping it yet. For every MAV (micro air vehicle) swarm that will fight the coming wars on earth, there have to be massive information logistic infrastructures to command and control them. Just a couple atmospheric thermo nuclear pulses on earth coupled with some surgically placed bunker busters and the entire system for fighting through advanced warfare on earth is wiped clean and neutralized. It follows then that even the most sophisticated hardening of earth-based information logistic infrastructure cannot be trusted as a safeguard. In turn, we have to go out into the solar system and play a shell game information logistics; i.e., the logical inference is that we have to hide the data bases in various installations around the solar system and create relays of sufficient speed and encoded elusiveness that "our data" survives in an operational sense, and "their data" perishes.

For a long time, space travel has seemed a form of primary research--human inquisitiveness--and a little near space weaponization and communication function.

But it is clear now that the acute dependence on digital connectivity and nonlinear perishability of its data bases make space not the final frontier, but the next vast battle space, where the future of freedom, liberty and republic will be won or lost yet again.

My guess is the boys at US Space Command have been working on this from the beginning, all manned space programs have been largely covers, and that we have regular robotic flights around the solar system now and that all the comet and meteor exploration is looking for mobile data storage relay platforms and the potential ice needed for various kinds of on-body activity.

Time is the great enemy in space. The time it takes to move information from a data base stored under the ocean of a moon of Saturn takes probably takes hours to reach earth.

The key is timely relay of distributed information network across great distances.

Quantum entanglement will be the means for overcoming the obstacle of distance in time in space.

But you still have to have the database "out there" somewhere, and serviced regularly, in order to use quantum entanglement to do your bidding.

Just some idle thoughts on a fine pre-war Tuesday morning.

God how I hope we find a way not to have the next war.

Oh my, I'm going to my safe space.

Oct 11, 2016 04:21 PM #9

Jeez. I guess I'm new enough that I'm no longer recognized as a user. I had to re-register. This is stoptheflop. I'm finding I really miss our ongoing topics that now appear to be lost. Others may have to re-register too.

Oct 11, 2016 04:51 PM #10

@approxinfinity No backups for nine months? Wow. Well, how would you know, right?

Hmm. I'm off to check the integrity of my own back-up systems.

Oct 11, 2016 04:53 PM #11

@jaybate-1.0 Save your ammo, man! All this interim discussion is going to get disappeared too.

Oct 11, 2016 05:23 PM #12

I wondered what happened, lol my rep is at 11, from 800

Oct 11, 2016 07:19 PM #13

Guys you can talk freely. It appears the backup is writing fine at the moment. I will pull latest when I send over and I will let you know when that happens.

Oct 11, 2016 07:22 PM #14

I initially thought I'd be able to do it from my work machine but there was a problem.... Hence the misdirection.

Oct 11, 2016 09:54 PM #15

Does anyone know what has happened with Perry Ellis? I tried to find some playing stats on the Hornet website, but nothing is listed for him.

Oct 11, 2016 10:19 PM #16

Maybe this is what happened to Hillary's emails.

Oct 11, 2016 10:36 PM #17

@approxinfinity I am really the one and only mayjay! Apparently, it deleted me entirely except to remember my username and email. But it won't let me log in (and offers to send me a way to do so, but never emails the instructions), so I have registered a new account with an alternate email. Is there any way to delete the original that is preventing me from using it so I can go back to me rather than a clone?

Oct 11, 2016 10:42 PM #18

@stoptheflop he's w/the hornets but can't play cause of his hernia surgery. Read that last week.

Oct 11, 2016 11:13 PM #19

@mayjay2 Attack of the clone Mayjay lol

Oct 11, 2016 11:14 PM #20

I think ALL these problems were caused by SUN SPOTS !!

@mayjay2 check your email for this first email address now.

If anyone else is having problems with password please let me know.

Oct 12, 2016 12:35 AM #23

@approxinfinity Thank you! I am back! The clone is gone! But I can't seem to remember anything......

If someone doesn’t have an alternate email address to create a new profile, they won't be able to notify you of any password issues. Any chance you have a temporary one where people can contact you for the next month or two?

Oct 12, 2016 12:41 AM #24

I can't handle this, I need an adult!

Oct 12, 2016 01:03 AM #25

Alright I'm going to take a dump in just a minute then send it to Julian. Henceforth we are in the disposable zone!

Oct 12, 2016 02:08 AM #26

So...who let Hillary in this Forum and what is her handle?

Oct 12, 2016 02:45 AM #27

@JayHawkFanToo Russian hackers.

Oct 12, 2016 02:47 AM #28

Haha good one!

Oct 12, 2016 02:49 AM #29

@mayjay

Wel...that explains the thousands of fake members we had.

Apparently they took the emojis too...

Oct 12, 2016 10:30 AM #30

@Crimsonorblue22 Thanks, I missed the notice on the surgery. We have Jayhawks all over the NBA, so it's difficult to keep up with our guys. RCJH

Especially all those names with no vowels.

Or maybe the fake ones were set up by Wells Fargo.

I recommend a flaming paper bag! Just kidding- Great work @approxinfinity

My dark side alter ego is now gone...but the light side works...new leaf?

Oct 12, 2016 04:59 PM #34

@Bwag lol that worked out well then. Baptism by data loss

@mayjay

Was there a HRC2016 by any chance?
