Basilisk extended downtime 08/09/2017

[Audune]

Holy ****, long time no see. Hello

.....and your answer is 2012. LOL.

I'm old now v.v

Hey I was just happy to see there was a Discord server for chat now. Finally moved off IRC a year ago and have gotten down to just 2 IM programs... still waiting for the Imperium (EVE Online) to get off jabber. One day, my wish will come true.

See that's the thing, if you design a system in that a single HDD failure is the end of it, you have failed in your design.

It's a fair question to ask why more money is the solution to this.

Was it the EMU is unable to afford appropriate redundancy? If that's the case, say so.

"See that's the thing, if you design a system in that a single HDD failure is the end of it, you have failed in your design."

I would agree if priority went to redundancy but its not and shouldn't be the focus until we have a final product that we want redundant.

*So what do donations go towards then?*

I would imagine a lot of things, development being at the top of the list.

It's a volunteer project, you mean to tell me they have paid devs on this? Who?

Actually no, development is free. If you're interested, you can check some of our yearly financial reports, that should give you the good idea what money is being spent on. Which reminds me, I am late with the new one, ill have to post it once we have Bas up and running again.

I think It was mentioned that two drives failed across a period of time. In RAID10 with a min stack of four drives, up to two can fail, but it matters which two. Hence, where we are now. Cherry picking technical negligence is inappropriate nor constructive.

Pointing fingers at the host solves zero now either. Live and learn and prepare for next time. Hold end accountability later. For now, other goals.

My wife and I met when SWG was live. We found out that SWGEMU was running a little over a year ago. To us. Its a connection we have had and we love playing the game together. If you need to do a Wipe then so be it. the two of us will be here when its running again. Like life. everyone hits bumps and sometimes a do over is very welcomed. I personally would love to see the complete Pre-CU game running instead of in sections. My favorite part was JTL. in any case we discussed it and when things are back up if we need to start over we have already made our plans to do so. My thanks to the devs and others that kept SWG going for us. To some of us its more prescious than gold.

Turns out it was a double HDD failure.
On a testing/Beta system that was promised to be wiped since day one.
Redundancy and recovery would not be my top priorities either. Even less considering the fact that the product is functionally not where I'd want it to be.

Rather it happens now and they learn from it. (That is pretty much the reason behind Basilisk) then have it happening on Suncrusher.

(My Apologises i'm new) this is not a normal thing to occur right? If so good luck devs

[millenijan]

i think thy are just F****ing with us. in the end they will be like... tada it was just part of our pub 9 outcomming. you will see.

[Thianraven]

I would love to help with the coding part. But the last time I did any was on an atari 800 XL. so I DONT think I qualify unfortunately. *Chuckles*

[phantomswake]

I'm not a developer nor will I pretend to be one.

But I can tell you as a person who has been in many management and problem solving positions over 40 years, that even with a volunteer project there would be expenses.

[Xandor]

Just wipe and move forward.
