< NightWisp> Damn netsplit
<@BlacklightBusy> uhh
<@BlacklightBusy> that wasn't a netsplit… -.-
<@BlacklightBusy> funny you should mention netsplits, though
<@BlacklightBusy> didja hear about the one I caused a couple hours ago? ( v.v )
< NightWisp> What?
< NightWisp> You did that?
<@BlacklightBusy> Not on Canternet, but yeah, I caused a netsplit v.v
< NightWisp> Bravo!
< NightWisp> Hehe I kid, but still. Very nice.
<@BlacklightBusy> XD
<@BlacklightBusy> Yeah, it was real stupid, too…
<@BlacklightBusy> Config file says don't log “rawdata” to IRC or it'll cause an infinite loop.
<@BlacklightBusy> So guess what I had to do?
<@BlacklightBusy> I had to go and tell it, log “all” to #snolog
<@BlacklightBusy> /operserv rehash, and then suddenly Services splits from Derpy
<@BlacklightBusy> And the database got corrupt 6.9
<@BlacklightBusy> Luckily it was only in a couple lines that didn't even have nick or channel info or anything in them…so I just delete them and restart Services
<@BlacklightBusy> Services was down for a couple hours, though, 'cause I had to go AFK in the middle of tracking down logfiles >.<
< NightWisp> Nice
<@BlacklightBusy> XD
<@BlacklightBusy> have some repost copypasta?
< NightWisp> Teehee sure

<@BlacklightBusy> [21:22:38] <~BlacklightBusy> All right, debriefing time XD
<@BlacklightBusy> [21:22:51] <~BlacklightBusy> Dear Princess Celestia,
<@BlacklightBusy> [21:23:07] <~BlacklightBusy> I learned that when you're messing around with server stuff, you need to be /very careful./
<@BlacklightBusy> [21:23:31] <~BlacklightBusy> And if a config file says not to do something…you shouldn't do anything that looks like it /might/ end up being or causing what it said not to do.
<@BlacklightBusy> [21:24:19] <~BlacklightBusy> For example, if it says not to log rawdata to IRC, don't log “all” to IRC. Because “all” might include “rawdata”.
<@BlacklightBusy> [21:24:55] <~BlacklightBusy> I also learned that sometimes you can fix database corruption just by deleting a few lines that showed up in the errors…but back up the database file first!
<@BlacklightBusy> [21:24:59] <~BlacklightBusy> Your faithful student,
<@BlacklightBusy> [21:25:02] <~BlacklightBusy> Blacklight Shining
<@BlacklightBusy> [end of repost]
<@BlacklightBusy> Letter to Celestia XD
< NightWisp> You, my dear BlacklightBusy, just won the Internet.Comment: #TheFade on Canternet (irc.canternet.org)
