Servers will be migrated off of Linode

[Funnybone]

I mean this in the most loving way possible
GTFO

 

[Mashed Potato Grenade]

just shut it all down dude, lolcows were a mistake

Shut up, Daddy Derek.

 

[sassyma seed]

Goodness gracious, time to make our way to a wonderful new place~

 

[Dr.Research]

I don't know shit about Interwebz servers or any shit aside from the Farms being down is annoying.
So could you say that us using Linode is now... Null and void?

 

[Bork Laser]

Shut up, Daddy Derek.

HEY! STOP DDOSING ME BECAUSE I'M FRIENDS WITH COOL CAT

 

[stets]

What the fuck is the internet?

 

[AnimuGinger]

So we got megacucked?

 

[Hyperion]

So what I'm reading is that Linode has been compromised for six months but refused to admit it. I sure am glad that such professional, secure companies are guarding customer financial data.

 

[Mashed Potato Grenade]

Frankly, part of me wishes it was done by dedicated weens who are going to blackmail all of us in a Call-Out-Saga-meets-Sony-Data-Breach.

 

[Dalhox Wolfchains]

I think Linode got LinOWNED.
Wait shit @melty already sorta made that joke

 

[fugly bunny]

Buenas noches.

It's cool, just keep us informed fearless autistic leader.

 

[John Furrman]

Thank you Glorious Leader for your swift response to the threats against our fair nation.

 

[VLAD]

Thanks for sharing this chill and realistic content on the online.

Linode? More like lil' chode.

Shitpost aside, I'm mostly concerned about loss of information or accounts during the move. I'm sure it's not a concern, but I'm no programmer and wouldn't know.

Account information shouldn't be lost since it's usually all in the same database. So when we do a database backup, you just drop-in the schema+data on the new server, and it's all good.

The real concern is migrating much of the server's custom functionality to a new unit. This is stuff like cache settings, symlinks, etc, and it always goes lost because you lose track of all the shit you do to get the server working. The worst that happens here, of course, is that the forum doesn't even start until those settings are reintroduced.

DigitalOcean is a great provider, it's very reliable and affordable as well. Just keep in mind if you're running 8chan stuff on it they probably won't allow the... pedo boards to be hosted on their servers. Another website many are aware of here ran into this issue in 2014 and was forced to remove all infringing content or faced a shutdown.

 

[Asperchewy]

I guess we're "pulling a Chris" so to speak. Linode left the kurig on, and burned down the internet. Now we gotta move out temporarily before we can add to the new remodeled autistic hoard all over again. Damned Dirty Trolls...

And then spending the next 2 weeks - 6 months fixing all the tiny bugs

 

[Yellow Yam Scam]

What's the full story with this? What was the "dick measuring contest between millionaires"?

And how the fuck will any of us function without the pedo boards?
