campylobacterI am a fucking stress ball right now.
LiveJournal is still reeling from the recent DDoS attacks, so a few communities that I enjoy (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
cms_daily, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
alittleofboth , dustishisstory ) created DreamWidth mirrors because of LJ's instability. stargate_summer and sos_lounge have also advised members of their existing DW mirrors.
LJ is still so effed-up that my DreamWidth mirror account didn't pick up my most recent (private) entries from the export queue. I often compose drafts of future posts and set them to Private while they're in development, so it's not Super Secret stuff, it's just important, complicated stuff that needs to be backed up until it's published, e.g.daniel_vala updated Rules.
DreamWidth doesn't allow importing content from LJ communities (due to intellectual property considerations), so all that wonderfuldaniel_vala content (which dates back to July 2005 might be lost if the next DDoS attack or a hacking exploit or a natural disaster deletes every fucking thing or destroys backup server racks. I'm looking into a way to preserve all that content, but I don't want to piss off anyone who doesn't want DW to publish their stuff.
Via a Twitter hash tag I found an LJ post about LJ's DDoS troubles, which also points to an app that archives LJ content, but I'm not sure if it handles communities. My Windoze laptop's a brick right now due to hard drive failure; my Mac can't run an executable file until I install an emulator.
FUCK MY FANDOM LIFE. Even Tumblr has been giving me error messages.
