@netikras yup, figured that out the moment they were drowning in joy

@electrineer yeah my keyboard tends to capitalize random stuff if I don't switch to English heh

@Kimmax I don't care about the Hoster, I have weekly backups on and I'd me more than happy if Hoster wiped down the entire data
-
@nothappy so why not spin up a db instance somewhere else? 48 hrs seems to be more than enough, if the site should just be up again
-
@Kimmax I couldn't do anything about db service, I don't have the rights to restart it or contact the service provider

I would view this as an opportunity to pressure them for a raise.
And when something similar happens next time, I'd be like "Maybe you just didn't give me a big enough raise."
Gotta be absolutely shameless these days. -
@Wisecrack possible :) but also a tremendous risk.

Yes, very unethical, so I don't recommend it.
I'm just writing what I'd be tempted to do.
But not a lot of people view things as I do, with duplicity as punishment for others stupidity.
I'm not even a communist, and I know business people will fuck their workers as fast as they can, same way unions try and fuck their parent companies.
At the end of the day life is a fight of all against all.

>*MK.G *: "Yes, because we cannot run Facebook ads, just because website is down"
>*Internal lmao*: "Alright, but by the time you purchase a new service provider and host, the website will be up and running plus since the database is down we cannot migrate"
>*MK.G*: "I don't care, just make it up and working"
>*Me chilling*: "Alright, give me few hours"
