So, has anyone actually gotten dslr mail dated since the shutdown?

Check your PM's. Yanow the little yellow flashing letter icon at the top left of the screen

I saw it but I was typing so I posted before reading your PM. That won't help me anyway. I don't communicate with Gmail users and I mean no offense to any Gmail users but I refuse to allow Gmail to read my mail and profile me. I do everything possible to stop Google from profiling me and much as I want dslr mail to work again, I don't want it badly enough to allow Google information about me. I'll have to work out whatever the problem is here either in the inactive dslrmail forum or bugs forum. I have a big bunch of various newsletters especially my Dell ones that I would like to get. I am about to buy a new computer and Dell may have sent a good offer that I don't see because it comes to dslr mail.

On a side note, it was really brought home to me these past two weeks how this is the only forum anywhere that really educates its readers on what is happening not only with internet privacy but privacy in general in the USA and the rest of the world. I better understand now why so many folks are so oblivious to what is happening to privacy, hence freedom and liberty, since this is the only place where there is a broad consolidation of information and concern about these issues. There are individual sites on the net concerned with privacy, etc but only here is it all brought together by the efforts of the fine members of this forum. KUDOS to all who post here!

Great to see that the site is back in some way, shape, and form. As of right now, none of my recent posts are on the site. My posts start in 2010! That's ancient!

Hi Mele20,
Not much will work for now..bringing it online to login etc. is still just experimental which is why I am trying out the usual stuff. List of what we can do is still TBD.

Believe you me, Mele20 , I was thinking the same thing... that is about the money. I was projecting costs upwards of $25,000! That's what people call a fuckton of cash!

If faced with something like this, unless I was rich and I didn't care about money and threw it about like I just didn't care, I'd have shut the site down and threw the towel in.

Though, I do see massive requests for donations in the near future on this web site. We may all be asked to donate $25 or more to help recoup the costs of bringing the data back.

As for NAC, the data center that this site's servers are in... they need to dump them like a bad habit! This isn't the first time that a data center wide power outage happened. IMO, this is embarrassing for NAC. A world class data center absolutely should not EVER have a massive power outage like this. This is simply unacceptable!

I know that there have been data centers that haven't had power outages in over three years! That's outstanding and a model that all data centers should strive to live up to.

Don't get me started on NAC! I hope Justin sues them and leaves them.

Justin is going to refund the Premium membership fee to all who joined this year because of this outage. That is very commendable but I hope no one takes him up on it. And, yes, I would expect requests for donations which I too will happily make but I do hope there is some way besides paypal that I will never again use.

I understand..but just reading twitter will not get you any cooties if you have your browser locked down like you usually do..its just like going to a web page...but you have to watch out what links you click on in some tweets.

I tried to track with the local power company in that part of Jersey as it was happening..the realtime power outages by their maps...I did see a block of territory listed that covered the NAC control center and data center that stated 5000 customers were without power. Not to long after that...my son's place in Rockaway also lost power which is another story..nevertheless could never determine "why" after it was cleared. I was surprised that the generator backup they have at the NAC did not help..but remembered they had a similar problem a few years back and posted that stuff at Wilders Security Forum.

Nice folks over there let many keep track of the situation.

Power generators and other various backup power systems should be tested to make sure that they are operational and will be operational in an emergency once a week (at the very least). You shouldn't be hoping that it kicks it, you should know that it will kick in when you need it! Any good data center should know that!

If NAC doesn't know that... then they are simply a bad data center that is mismanaged.

Yeah well, the power outage didn't help any at all. If it weren't for the power outage I figure that the problem wouldn't have gotten quite so out of hand. Justin wouldn't have been looking at a data loss like he is now.

I still stand by the fact that NAC sucks as a data center. Justin needs to seriously think about leaving this mismanaged data center behind him.
