Server Status Thread

everyone makes mistakes. I'm sure it wasn't on purpose.
I propose to support the loftar, and not to oppress, most likely he is more upset than anyone else.

do wipe for folk sake

I'd love a reset, but I think it's better in the long run to have one later.

I can at least confirm that I haven't found an alternative, and am currently restoring from backup. There is a bit of data to copy, so it's taking a bit of time. It's hard to say exactly, but it will probably be done in roughly half an hour or so.

The server is currently down.

The reason is that I, in trying to fix this bug, I was planning to do a simple resource transfer, but I messed up and accidentally deleted a lot of data.

I'm currently looking into the alternatives, but it is quite possible that I will have to revert to the latest backup, taken yesterday when we did the latest patch. I'm terribly sorry that it came to this. I had never considered that such a serious error mode was just one simple typo away.

Damn loftar from when you start work charity? And didnt share with us... Its already 2nd time in w12 you helping children from the orphanage...

Stop having backups. Would be more fun that way.

So, you are fixing bugs while server running, yes? Not in a separate server/branch?

Maybe he intended to edit their test server but accidentally did that to live server?

The bug was entirely in a resource, rather than in the server itself, and as such just needed a new resource file. The problem is that I made a tragically simple typo in the rsync command that I use to transfer resources from the dev server to the real server.

The Linux/Unix guys in the audience can meditate on the difference between
rsync -av --delete /srv/hafen/res ansgar:/srv/hafen/
vs
rsync -av --delete /srv/hafen/res/ ansgar:/srv/hafen/
The real shocker is how I haven't considered how closely I've been flirting with disaster all these years. In the future, I'll be giving the command as
rsync -av --delete /srv/hafen/res/ ansgar:/srv/hafen/res/

It is, if anything, quite a bit shocking how I haven't considered how closely I've been flirting with disaster all these years. In the future, I'll be giving the command as
rsync -av --delete /srv/hafen/res/ ansgar:/srv/hafen/res/

lol brutal
