Where’ve the posts gone?
Posts made since the 19th of April have been lost. This is, of course, entirely my fault. I run this server, own the hardware and bandwidth. A while back, I turned off MySQL backups to isolate a problem with the backup script. You can see where this is going: I didn’t turn it back on. The server has been happily backing up everything it has except the databases.
A disk underwent some impressive filesystem corruption, so was recovered from backup: Backups which did not include the MySQL databases. MySQL was able to recover its database, but lost recent entries as a result.
Oops.
