During this little interlude I strolled over to TOP to satisfy my masochistic tendencies. Whoa!!! First time I've driven by for awhile and certainly the first time in a while I had the guts to venture down into the comments. Saw a diary over there by Alan Grayson, The Party's Over. I'm not sure if they're going to ban Grayson or lynch him. The people left there have gone completely unhinged! Sure hope jtc get the site straitened out soon!
For those looking for some very interesting reading and haven't already done so, venture over to Thompson's Timeline on the Hillary Clinton E-mail Problems I ventured into the long version yesterday and spent the entire day reading every last word of it. And it took most of the day. There is also a short and medium version. It has to be the most in depth analysis of the scandal available. Highly recommended reading!

I don't believe there is any way that the coronation is going forward. Hillary will be indicted and I think only Obama has the power to stop it. But I don't think he'l step in. The way things are developing, Obama naming Hillary his SOS may be the most embarrassing mistake of his presidency.
I'm really excited about the prospect of the indictments and I don't think we're going to have to wait to much longer. I've been saving my banning at TOP and I think indictment day will be the perfect time. I already have the diary title written...

lots of shenanigans going on right now. This all started Friday right after the essay about Dr. Stein's letter to Californians that got a lot of traffic. I attributed it for quite a while as heavy external traffic, but that didn't carry much weight because we just did a major resource upgrade to our server a couple of weeks ago and the onsite traffic wasn't all that heavy the last couple of days. So I started looking elsewhere.
Right now the site is being bombarded with "access denied" warnings that are mostly coming from a few different IP addys, one that keeps popping up gets fingered as a bot when I search the IP info.
no hack, DDoS-maybe, our service provider says no, but I'm not so sure about that. We have a serious software conflict that's blocking me from rebuilding the permissions, that's why I can see all of the content, but you folks can't. I have to debug the conflict. I may just go ahead tomorrow and update the software like I've been planning to do anyway, chances are good that will resolve it if I can't debug it. I'm on vacation at my brother's house and not at my normal workstation so I'm winging it. I've been at this all day today and I'm looking at at least all day tomorrow, so yeah, I'm having a really great vacation. Whoopee!
I may not be weighing in much after this, I'm too freaking busy. Be patient folks.
because to me the site looks perfectly fine, the essay queue is as it should be and I can see everybody's content. I just have to figure out why the permissions wont rebuild, it keeps throwing different errors at me. It's after midnight here so I'm not going to be doing anything major tonight, it's too late, but we may be in maintenance mode tomorrow, so if you see that you know why. The site seems to be performing normally though, finally, for now anyway. Sorry folks, fun time in IT town!!
The current working assumption appears to be that our Shroedinger's Cat system is still alive. But what if we all suspect it's not, and the real problem is we just can't bring ourselves to open the box?
that this is happening right before the big Cali. primary, no? Cue the twilight zone music. It's probably a co-inkeedink, but honestly I think it a huge software glitch, caused by a runaway cron program that would not stop running. It finally stopped just a while ago and the site came back, the permissions issue is another matter. What caused the runaway cron program? Now that's a good question and there we may delve into a little CT.

Maybe deleting essays is messing up the database indexing?

many other programs in our site structure use the cron program to trigger certain events, one of those programs is causing a conflict with cron and causing it too go haywire. Yesterday I optimized our database and terminated the cron program in the db and then restarted it, that brought our site back. The content wackiness after it came back was due to problems rebuilding the permissions which I was eventually able to solve. Ultimately it was the db optimization that did the trick, notice how much better the performance is now?
but I didn't even think about it until you all mentioned it in this essay, everything looks fine to me, so I thought it did for everyone else too. But I believe you, I don't need to check and I know why you cant see the content, I just need to decipher the cause.
able to log back in. However I clicked on one of the old 1/11/15 threads, and now I can see the current ones.
I really do hope you get to enjoy some of your vacation. I usually got sick back in the days when a vacation was available, so maybe this isn't too bad. = )

At least when you're sick on vacation you can catch up on some rest.
My last vacation, however, I was both deathly ill - the sickest I've been in years and years - as well as having a client's website go down... Yay!
Plus, I was at a place with spotty connectivity, and a sister who understandably wanted to go out and DO things since we'd gone to all the trouble of traveling to New Mexico together...
Growing up, we lived in California and my mother's family is in NM. At least every other year, we went on vacation to NM. It was two to three weeks of non-stop activities (it's a huge family). By the time we got back from "vacation," we really needed a rest.

Hey, PR--thanks for starting a thread. During a
previous outage, I was able to go to one of my old diaries, and start a comment thread. For some reason, I got kicked out of my account this time.
(Although, I had no problem logging in.)
Unless it's corrected itself, my Front Page goes back to March of this year. Earlier, it was showing an October date, IIRC.
Of course, that doesn't really matter, if we've able to post.

For whatever it's worth, all my essays and comments have been lost.

Hey, JtC! My comments after 01/08/16 are missing, but
from your comment to Ed, I'll take it that they're there, and I just can't see them (for now).

Hello everybody!
Hang in there!
I enjoyed an essay by Big Al on the Time Clock, during the blast from the past.
...that is
as much as someone can enjoy the end of the world. It is called the Doomsday Clock, not the Time Clock.
emptywheel got hacked last Thursday.
They set up an alternate site really
quick then migrated to a new host.
Only lost a day or so posts (that
haven't been reconstructed yet).
As for what's up with c99p, I
suppose we await word from TPTB.

Marcy co-authored another Snowden story
at VICE on Friday based on some
800 pages of FOIA docs liberated
from the NSA.
And Marcy was clear on Twitter
that her site was hacked as was
Rayne on the alternate emptywheel
site.
Lots of reasons for internet stuff to mess up.
I always keep in mind that no less
than the USG has declared an
"information war" on Russia.

Don't know if this will help anyone, but I received an "access

So sorry this is happening and messing up your vacation. Thank you for everything you do. We'll survive!
Great news, JtC! Please let us know if
there is anything we can do to help.
I promise not to start rattling off what I'm observing (this time), unless you ask for our assistance.
Hope you can get some rest, now that you've restored basic function. I'm sure folks here can wait a while, to have everything 'perfect,' again.
Please, let us know if we can help in any way.

That being said - don't lose your entire vacation - the site is functional and we can wait for data restoration...
