Right now, nothing. The server died. See https://www.helionet.org/index/topic/32759-johnny-backups/ I'd say odds are good we'll end up making backups for people at a later date, considering Johnny won't stay running long enough for most to back up. On the bright side, we didn't lose the InnoDB data this time around.

 

Johnny has always been known for his lack of stability due to the unlimited accounts we allowed, and unfortunately that poor stability and the related crashes have finally damaged the file system to the point where it won't stay running. It needs to be rebuilt. For reference, this is the third time Johnny has died. The prior two losses were back-to-back disk failures. In contrast, Stevie (Ricky) has died only once (also disks), and Tommy has never died (though we did have to discard his archives because a disk went bad). We operate at a rather significant loss most months as it is, so we can't afford to get more servers, which is why we have to hold fundraisers for things like the NAS and overwork the servers we have to offer what we do.

 

If you want, you can sign up on Ricky or Tommy when they open (be sure to use a different domain/email/username since they're still attached to the Johnny account for the time being). Tommy has the newest and most stable hardware, but is also very difficult to get an account on because everyone wants to use him. You can donate $1 to get an account easily if you want, and it'd be especially appreciated right now since Johnny is what brings us much of our ad revenue, but it's not required as a few accounts are offered for free at midnight.
