There's going to be some brief API downtime today (~20 minutes) because I don't have time for frou-frou failover to the backup server; I have to replace some hard drives and then get the hell over the Sierra Nevada in a rental Mazda full of your data before the blizzard hits.

Oh, and back up your bookmarks. It's a good habit!

API should be down for the time it takes me to replace 8 hard drives, realize I screwed them in backwards, screw them in again, plug everything back in, and then fix some Ubuntu boot loader issue that I've never seen before and will have to research in a cold sweat. Back ASAP!pic.twitter.com/jposQmbh45

Hey nerd herd, how come it's 2021 and supermicro servers take so long to boot? The actual Linux boot time off SSD is minimal, but they seem to spend many minutes just ruminating on BIOS things at each reboot. Do we (I) have to live like this or is there a fix?

OK, API should be back up. I gotta go skedaddle over the Donner Pass right before the snows hit—always an excellent plan. I'll check any error reports once I get over into Nevada, the one state where it never snows.

By the way if anyone has clever ideas about how to move 80TB of data more virtually, or wants an exciting unpaid internship at Pinboard ops, I'm all ears. Last time I did a full off-site backup I was chased out of California by fire, this time by ice.

Replying to @Pinboard
I'm sure you've considered both "use rsync six months ago" and "compress the data before you send it," so, yeah, put the data on a truck.

Yeah, it's as compressed as it gets. Which is ironic since it's probably 99.9% jquery, given that these are archived web pages
