Board Outage and Recovery

The system failed around 3:23 pm (Pacific time) on Friday, November 21. Efforts to recover the database were not successful, and the board was restored from a backup taken around 1 am Pacific time on Friday.

Posts made during that period of about 14-1/2 hours are permanently lost, as are any personal messages sent during that time. Personal messages that were sent before the backup which you read on Friday will appear "new" and you will likely read them again as "new."

:lol: Ain't that the truth!

Scott--thanks for all the hard work and time you put into the board--and not just in the last few days, but every day. It means so much to so many and has helped countless people over the years.

Have a great Thanksgiving :D

Backups are a very good thing! After being up over 5 years this is the longest down time we've had-- 1.5 days, and the most data we've ever lost--about 1/2 day. Anyway, I hope the issues don't come back!

Take care,

Scott

Nice recovery, you are king for being vigilante about backups. =)

What's weird, is ibsgroup.org went down about the same time, except they lost about 5 months of data. I guess just coincidental, but it was odd, the only two boards I've been reading both go down, doh.

I'm glad you got it back up though, really good work. Backups are not always easy to keep up with, especially for a forum this big and busy!

I read this board too and thought it was very coincidental. They have pretty close the same format too! I'm also glad that we're back up!

Yes, unless they run off the same hard drive, I doubt it was the same issue, who knows though.

This is a coincidence. There is no connection between us and Open Original Shared Link

It looks like they had it a lot worse than we did. We lost 14-1/2 hours of data. It sounds like they lost 8 months of data. Speaks loudly to the importance of doing regular backups.

Yes, from what I understand they had been depending on their host to do it. That's a sticky situation, because if they don't, you really have no recourse, i mean, in that you can't get the data back. But, looks like you guys do an excellent job of it.

      Found coffee or coffee pods that contain gluten

      Welcome to the forum, @linnylou73! Are you claiming this based on a reaction or based upon actual testing?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.

      Juice shots? Anti inflammatory

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I avoid turmeric now because I'm on low dose aspirin, but used to use this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HYBN4DJ My recipes always vary according to what I have on hand, but my base is a frozen berry mix from Trader Joe's: https://www.traderjoes.com/home/products/pdp/fruits-greens-smoothie-blend-075603 In the warmer months I include herbs from my garden like Italian parsley and basil. I add almond milk as well.
