    What happenened:

    • I get notified that lemmygrad is down. 👀
    • I log into the server, serious system errors.
    • I contact support, they tell me the server is completely borked, and they can’t tell me why. Do you want us to proceed with us deleting everything and rebuilding your server? Pushes big red button?
    • I restore the server from the last daily backup I make, takes about half an hour, but we lose a day of posts.

    Apologies again yall, it shouldn’t be too often that I contact our VPS for support and they tell me the entire system is down.

      they tell me the server is completely borked, and they can’t tell me why.

      Am I acting paranoid, or is it reasonably probable that hackers attacked it?

    NOOO MY PRECIOUS RECENT UPDOOTS HAVE BEEN CUT IN HALF

    Comrade Muad’Dibber, you must answer personally for this most heinous of crimes: damaging my potential to become an internet microcelebrity.

      Seriously though, you made a good point about how taboo it is in Poland to discuss Polish collaboration with the Fascists. There is a similar (though by no means identical) prohibition on the subject here in the Anglosphere.

      In my experience, finding literature and articles that discuss Polish collaboration with Fascism is quite difficult. Both Polish ultranationalists and generic antisocialists suppress and reject writings that expose this subject, though not necessarily for the same reasons.

      In the case of Polish ultranationalists the reasons are obvious. In the case of other antisocialists, I suspect that the reason that they almost always shy away from the subject is that it complicates their already lazy attempts to equate communism with German Fascism. Knowing that a substantial and significant number of Poles willingly collaborated with the Fascists would open the door to all kinds of awkward questions, to say the least.

      Naturally, the author of this paper indulged in a few of the classic oversimplifications of Soviet history (we all know which ones) while discussing this important subject, either in a conscious attempt to appease anticommunist censors or because the compulsion just came naturally to his hamsterlike brain, but either way it’s pretty clear that even these typical concessions did nothing to popularize his paper or the subject matter.

      ETA: he also repeatedly tried to equate the Polish communists with the German Fascists, but my point still stands.

        Our DeSantis-wannabe minister of education wants to defund a researcher and everyone who supported the researcher in an open letter, because said researcher dared talk about the Polish collaboration

      Maybe we all drank the 90000 bottles of vodka and even the grad itself can’t remember what happened.

        This one isn’t ovh, it’s called swissmade. But yeah I can never find myself hating these companies for unreliability. Outages are nightmares for all involved, and its not like they’re shutting ppl down out of malice.

      Yep, our VPS crashed, and they told us we had to start from scratch. If I didn’t take daily backups, we’d be essentially screwed.

    I was wondering wth happened. Couldn’t access the site. NGL I got a bit worried for a sec, if it got been compromised. Glad it’s still with us. Now if only it’d restore the images, especially my profile pictures. :(

      Images are back up now. I restored them while I was sleeping but had to fix a minor thing to get them back up.
