(7/12/2022 - 11:30 PM) UPDATE: new mods, server reset

Y'all voted to reset the server so I did it. I also added in the mods we voted on earlier; the updated mod list is as follows:

(7/12/2022 - 4:03 PM) backup failure pt. 3 FIXED

So unfortunately, all of the backups after 7/11/2022 ~1:00 PM were either too big to decompress (with too many errors) or corrupted. I managed to reset the server back 12 hours and changed the directory of the backups to be completely separate (on a different drive) than the world files. This was a fucking bitch to do: I literally had to decompile the java file of textilebackups and scroll through the code to figure out the right combination of "/"s to get what I wanted. Nonetheless, the server is back up, running faster than before since the world is now hosted on the main SSD and backups should only take a few seconds given they no longer occur recursively. My bad for the mess; I didn't realize textilebackups took the entire world folder, but what else would it do, tbh? Honestly though, the mod is wonderfully written, but I do wish the documentation was a bit more thorough. After scrolling through the code, it was clear that everything was cleverly designed, but it took multiple readings of javascript documentation in order to understand what was actually going on. . .I guess I should've just learned how to program myself.

Well turns out half the backups were corrupted or something because I couldn't get jack shit from them. . .the server is probably going to be reset about 13 hours. The last readable backup is from around 11:55 AM, so we'll see how that turns out; it's currently at ~44% through extracting >100 GB. Server is lookin' more like it'll be up later this afternoon. . .my bad y'all.

(7/12/2022 - 12:02 AM) backup failure

Textile backup decided to do a funny and exponentially backup itself until it filled the 1 TB drive the server world is located on. This resulted in the server being unable to update player data and would have eventually corrupted the latest version of the world. Currently, I am waiting for the 700 GB backup file to transfer to the other 2 TB drive in the server so I can extract the latest world file. Once that is complete, I'll wipe the old drive, and reset the world directory to the SSD the rest of the server runs off of, but explicitly direct the backups to the 1 TB HDD. Ideally, the world file would save to one drive and the backup to another, independent of the SSD, but textile backup (the plugin I use for backups) has really shitty syntax and I wasn't able to figure out how to get it to do that. Nonetheless, expect the server to return later tonight or sometime Tuesday afternoon.
