Facebook’s Master Code Reportedly Deleted Which Means Facebook And Instagram Would Be Gone Forever...

The NSA has every post and piece of data—I am sure they would be happy to share...

I’m having meatloaf, Mac and cheese and green beans for dinner in 20 minutes. Did I tell you all I love my wife to the moon and back? Going to watch Tucker at 8 and hopefully my wife is feeling good enough to get some horizontal loving tonight.
My dog is laying on me right now snoring.

And just to be safe, there’s a paper hard copy of everything at an Iron Mountain site. 🤣

How’s Twitter.

Please tell me that Twitter’s not dead!

[joshua c]

NO fair! I just got out of my third 30 day gig in FB jail! I’m ready to roll for my forth!

All primed and no place to go.

I’m sure China has the code.

Ah, but how many companies actually TEST their backups? Or have experience doing a major restore? And if their servers are compromised, can they find sufficient capacity elsewhere?

Anyway, I figure it is a configuration issue, maybe not all under their control.

Wonder once resolved, how many people get fired?

Worked with big datacenters before, there’s this thing called a “tape backup”

Most companies run redundant servers that they can start up with little notice. That way they rarely have to go back to the last tape backup which may be up to 24 hours old.

Hey, maybe Facebook got Coronavirus and is now quarantined for the next 14 days?

They’re in Disaster Recovery mode now they’ll get it back online. If it’s that bad then they at most lost 24hrs of data.

War Room very interesting now, covering this issue.

[Aria]

WOW - that would be amazing...but wouldn’t they have backups?

I hope wonderboy is crapping his pants right now

Speaking as a retired programmer, it would take a nuclear war to destroy my codes, as I used various methods, and locations to back up my code (and data). My rule of thumb was that if code has a certain value, you would expend 10% of the value of the code, protecting it.

Just read on ZDNet, it’s a router config problem. When they deployed the change, it whacked connectivity to Facebook, and as a result, the senior admins who could FIX it, don’t have connectivity to the routers to DO it. So, there’s on-sites being demanded, and to make things even happier, the card readers that govern building access are also offline.

Unless the FB powers that be are incredibly negligent and stupid, guaranteed the company has a disaster recovery protocol. So FB is not gone forever...again, unless whoever runs the company really is that negligent.
