Nope, it's up and working. What exactly is happening for you?

It's down for me... Looks okay but in an incognito window the guest can't connect. I'll do a restart and try to adjust the config tonight to be more stable.

The per-sub channels are loading correctly for the first time in a while, whatever you did worked well.

Sweet. I think we're maxing it out somehow, we had over 1024 TheLounge users when a new guest could not connect... I think we've maxed out before at that number. We might have to get more aggressive with our guest user flusher.

Great, sounds like a plan.

Quick question, if our server company happens to lock everything and delete it, we have a continually-updating off-site backup of the database, right? I think you've told me the answer is yes, I just want to be certain.

No, we have manual backups and however the web hosts' add on backup service works.

Streaming or mirroring both databases off-site would take serious effort and impact performance.

Ah ok. Could we schedule an automated off-site backup every 24h at 2am or something? Just automate what we're already doing manually, with a bash script or something?

Yep sure we could use rsync or a similar tool to push backups to another server over SSH. We just need the other server. Also I think there's very little risk that our hosting provider would delete our data on purpose. Even if they refuse our business they won't delete, that'd open them up to a lawsuit.

Okay, cool. Maybe we could do our normal backup and I could also use the saiditdev server as a secondary backup. I just want to be prepared for the worst, in case there's legal trouble and our server company is forced to lock our data or something like that.

Yeah that'd work
