I moved away from my gmail account 3 years ago
went to proton mail FREE they have paid services
NOT one spam email or glitches in service
Out of an abundance of caution I have created 4 email address and accounts
none of them are linked to one another
I even created one for purchasing items from Banggood in China
no spam easy to sign up

At around 2AM this morning things started to go a little pear-shaped with our servers. Our tech guys were looking into it trying to work out what was happening, but it became a all-hands exercise in trying to work out what broke what.
We had updated CodeProject's code. So we redeployed, cleaned and deployed, rolled back and cleaned and deployed. It wasn't our code.
Our requests per second were a little crazy. As in 1000x what we normally would get, but nothing that set off the DoS alarms. Things were adjusted to ease the load but the load remained uneased. Finally, with zero load we still had the site pinned. It turns out the firewall needs replacing. Firewall fixed, load reduced, site back up. Mostly.
There were also a series of Windows patches that were installed as part of routine maintenance. These were to do with HTTP security, so they naturally got some attention. Uninstalling Windows patches can be painful, but once one of the patches was removed everything popped back up. However, that was only on 1 of the servers, so that patch, since it's a security update, will be reinstalled, and if it causes issues the entire server will be binned and a new one rolled in.
So: fun and games at CodeProject central and I apologise for being down for so long. This was a bit of a trifecta, but we're now into mopping up and analysis stage so ![Beer | [beer]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif) all round.

It was very educational and I see how addicted I (we) are to CP.
Anyway, great you are back and I (we) don't need to look for another dealer

Must... not... tell... war... story...
It involved a customer replacing the 1Gb hub we have in our equipment with a 100Mb hub they had laying around. They had the audacity to (1) not tell us what they had done, (2) lie when we asked them point blank what they had changed, and (3) tried to hide the evidence when a [very sleepy after a 10 hour drive] field service dude showed up.
Irrelevant side note: the outage must be Jeremy's fault, since he raised the subject of uptime a few threads down.

So you know Chris, ever think about hosting CP on Debian?

Sounds like my morning execpt on a much much mush smaller scale. And it was the cable company coming and going.

I seem to remember offering a round of beer for the CP team. The offer is still valid

I can't remember a longer one.
I am guessing plenty of is in order to soothe the throats made sore by excessive cussing.
