So my dumb host freaked me out yesterday when they said I had basically lost everything. I did manage to find one competent person there who actually knew things and he fixed the problem. The problem wasn’t what the three emails I received said it was, nor was it the problem that the guy I talked to on the phone the first time said it was. This is the guy who told me that a hard drive had failed and that they “were only able to recover 1′s and 0′s.” I told him that it was supposed to be just 1′s and 0′s and that those 1′s and 0′s were what I was looking to get back. But it turned out to be a problem with their DNS and having two different instances of my stuff…no idea why…but whatever. The point is, it’s fixed now and I will be making my own backups twice a week since I no longer have any faith in other people that are supposedly making “daily backups.” At least that’s over and I didn’t have to go kick anyone in the face in Illinois.
Today is August 4, 2026
