Is anyone else having issues accessing e-liquid-recipes ? This is terrible timing. I'm leaving for New Zealand tomorrow for a few weeks, and I planned on making a stash tonight.. This is why you shouldn't procrastinate when it comes to traveling!
classic exit scam so /u/daath can run away with all our recipes and start the ultimate eJuice line, we all knew this day was coming...
/u/daath, I love you, but your website has been getting slow lately.
Sorry man, it's effectively down right now. My hosting provider (Digital Ocean) decided now was an excellent time to do a system backup. Ever since it started 4 hours and 30 miniutes ago, the server has been unreachable. I can't cancel it for fear of corrupting data - All I can do now, is wait for it to come back up.
Rest assured, I will cancel automatic backups, and figure out another, non-disruptive way of backing up all data!
Sorry for the inconvenience!
How are you storing data? Mysql? Run a chron job to dump it out to an sql file, then push the sql file off the box somewhere.
Mysql command line: mysqldump -uroot -p MyDatabase >/home/users/backup_MyDB/$(date +%F)_full_myDB.sql
Crazy, my servers run backups nightly with zero downtime, how on earth do they justify that?
/u/daath actually makes me wonder if we couldn't have a export recipe page to txt or something as a failsafe.
Sorry for the inconvenience, guys! I've turned off their ridiculous backup service and implemented a better non-disruptive backup that backs up directly to a server off-site :)
This exact thing won't happen again!
