Have you ever used this?

From the laptop you go there and then scan the code from the screen.

I actually plan on adopting that feature so SSO via Email. Should make account login and recovery easier.

I go to that screen and it asked for my password and 2fa haha. Not a lot of use without those.

Like I said, from your laptop which I assume has your PW.

Tbh, 38 GB is actually an OK range for a forum regarding DB size. Especially one w HF's history. Not to say it is small or anything but it's too big to be ignored, yet small enough to be optimized back.

I am not back there looking at records or rows or anything but just my 2 cents
Status update?

Taking the week off because I'm doing a fast and my brain is mush.

Haven't heard much news in a while. Just curious how this is going. Was interesting reading the progress.

Pretty sure all is set and done, 2months+ upgrading is for no one.
HF's birthday is close so the backend is prepared now to rickroll us with Omni's setup when he launched HF (maybe) on the background.

XD
Appears I've lost access to the server and my account with the host is closed.

Thus all work is deleted. I sent an email, no response so far. I'm going to assume that the deal I had with the host they've ceased to continue.

I'll have to start over. I'll look for a new server when I'm ready to resume the build.

Is what it is.

Not fair for me to say. I'm not upset about it. I'm just sad.

Looking now at my alternatives. Already found 2 solid choices.

In some ways maybe it's better I just pay a datacenter. Free means they aren't treating me like a paying customer. Also, once I provision the server, I'm losing money each month we're still on the old server so it's actually incentive to get us moved.

Things always happen for a reason.
I have no doubt that you'll conquer this. Hope it goes as smoothly as possible.

How did that even happen?

If I were in your place, I would feel despair and give up… but I know you won’t.
