Thanks! Interesting.
Still not sure what happened exactly. A bunch of database tables disappeared. Someone probably found a hole in the new node version and was able to do some sql injection attack. Down from what, 3pm to 7:22pm California time? My alerts also failed so I didn't know until leaving work.
Reverted to old but reliable php version of site.
Sure, lots of suspects.
Truth is not popular these days.
Freedom of speech and opinions are respected on this site. Could be someone who does not agree with what is generally posted here, or someone who has a grudge on you.
They would also need to have some technical expertise.
I do not want this site to come down because....
It's fun
There is freedom of speech
You can remain anonymous
You can let off steam
And there are people like Jazz and Dan, who keep putting me on ignore, because they hate facts.
Even though I had him on ignore for months I still know that he plans to go to Italy on a vacation soon. I must have read that on some highway billboard or on the flashing side of a blimp, huh?
If it makes you feel better, you are right. I will also be in the Washington DC area, in October. But i will still have access to Patrick.net, and you know what what that means.

Education never hurts.
How educated are you? You never advertised that.
Just short of a PhD.
Tried to make a new post a moment ago. Got an error:
Unknown column 'post_private' in 'field list'

Thanks for telling me!
OK, fixed. You should be able to write a new post now.
Seems to have pissed off someone with enough knowledge to cause trouble.
Wow-are we important enough to be hacked?
I hope it was the Saudis who hacked us because of all the mean things I say about them. On second thoughts, I don't think it was them. They don't have the brains to do something like that. Must be their goats.
Yup, my one banner is gone. However, I still have my deluded follower.
he's snarky, disingenuous, self-glorifying and droll.
Thought that was a general description of all Patnetters!
....
Those that are so engrossed with technology will do nothing to stop hackers so could you please STFU.
So is this Strategist's homepage now?
Was the reason the site came down to defeat banning the fucking trolls?
If you are such a delicate snowflake that you can't stand to read different opinions, kindly butt out and leave this site to those with a little more intestinal fortitude! The sheer arrogance of your position is obvious to everyone but you.

Patrick.net hacked!
is there any information on what the hacker(s) did besides briefly knocking the site offline?
I think they just found some data that was indigestible to my site by trying lots of things.
There was a flurry of hits from lots of different places, and some attempts to inject sql right before it went down. I can see that much from the nginx logs.
Unfortunately, the way I brought the site back was to restore the database from the previous night. I should have kept a copy of the bad data for analysis, but did not.
And there are people like Jazz and Dan, who keep putting me on ignore, because they hate facts.
