Source: Me URL Source: http://www.freerepublic.com Published: May 15, 2017 Author: Hank Rearden Post Date: 2017-05-15 11:21:48 by Hank Rearden Keywords: None Views: 20491 Comments: 73 Midway through the 90-day 'fundraising' grift, FR has crashed today. To me, this is a bit early to schedule the outage, as it may not instill sufficient panic amongst the acolytes. But that $88k just has to be scooped up this quarter before the next round starts July 1. And after all these years, all those millions of dollars, you STILL can't edit a typo or mistaken statement in a posting there. Way to go, Hopalong.

To: Tooconservative (#16) (Edited) So you have to paste it here if you want me to comment on it. (My dog's account and adblockers to the rescue! Excuse the lack of formatting. Some of the sheeple are beginning to suss out the obvious. "the hard drive"!!!??? What, they have just the one? "bring it home"???? Comments would lead one to think RAID was just invented. And all for just a third of a mil per year!) Jim Robinson 9 hrs Update: Heard from John a little while ago. Not good. Was not able to get the hard drive going, so he decided to bring it home and after he gets some sleep, he'll try to replace it and recover the data. Looks liker we're going to be down tomorrow, too. Sorry. Prayers that he gets it all going again tomorrow. Jim Robinson (And, yes, he was very frustrated and muttered,"'Maybe we should go to cloud.") Ken Jacoby Hang in there.... Robert Morrow It would be great to hear about options that would guarantee zero downtime ever. Is there a reason the servers have to be kept at a location away from the home? Heck, if clinton could have one in her bathroom... Don't most servers run on a RAID platform with 3 or more drives so if one hard drive dies it's just a matter of sliding in another from the stack of new drives sitting right next to it with no data loss since it's mirrored across all the drives then the new drive data is rebuilt from the ones that are still operating. It has been a long time since I worked in the computer and networking field so I'm sure a lot has changed. Linux servers seem to be the most reliable; at least back then. Not sure about now. So many possibilities and so many folks counting on FR to be up and running at all times... maybe paying for cloud storage is an idea who's time has come.

Also these downtimes give those harpies like onyx a break from long thon shifts covering 24 hours a day (re-)posting dumb pictures, like babies making funny faces and pets with donate captions. onyx regularly posts complains about not getting enough sleep and how long the thons last.(Bless her heart we have FR due to her slaving away) A few years ago her only computer died (at least that's what she claimed) during a thon and she said she had to get one at Best Buy.

Televangelists prey on the same kind of shut-ins. This is why the format and features change so rarely. Any change is traumatic for the long-time cult members.

Others say it can't be helped: John lives in a different city from the server. Guess that's decreed by God and carved in stone as The Way It Must Be Forevermore. So that third of a mil must be going to breadsticks now. You have to hand it to them; the Robinsons are masters of the long con. It's really something to see happening these days, in real time.

To: Hank Rearden, *free republic and JR watch* (#0) Update FR still down, check out Jim Robinson complaining about lack of $$ on the FR Facebook site to explain why FR is still down. kumano Akachan 21 hrs Why are we down so long? There should be backup servers and backup storage and redundant servers and streaming real-time database duplication. I don't understand this long down time. Does anyone know what is going on, and why we don't see updates here? I work in IT and I know the FR Gods know IT and programming, so experiencing this long void is really disheartening. Jim Robinson reply We're old fashioned, stubborn and dumb. Too dumb to realize you can't run an operation like this with no capital, no professional management and no expert tech staff. It's just me (an old beat-up, over-the-hill programmer) my two sons and a bookkeeper as partners. John is our entire tech staff.

I guess they just can't afford a grand or two out of their $29,000 per MONTH revenue stream to spend on the actual business model for redundancy. And it's not the Good Lord who dumps that cash into their laps. Jesus, Hopalong sounds like Jim and Tammy Faye. Couldn't even slap in a RAID system, oh no. And they still whine about having to drive to San Jose to check out problems because apparently Hopalong's trailer park still doesn't have electricity and Internet access. Can't possibly have an on-call real tech on retainer or find a closer location with electrical outlets. Their breadstick bill must be outrageous.

To: TrappedInMd (#31) (Edited) Jim Robinson: Was going to post a link to our online budget breakdown, but unfortunately, it's a no go right now. Anyway, you are basically correct. Most of the money raised goes to cover operating expenses (including salaries and overhead) and a relatively smaller amount for capital expenditures. Actually, we have very little capital available for capital investments.. Po', po' pitiful me....... It's the breadstick bill. Jim Robinson: The funny (unfortunate) thing about operating without capital is we never seem to have the time and money available to invest in and build the very best in server systems. But we always make the time and find the money required to fix it when it breaks. Also, I think we're talking more about time here than money. Again, $29,000 per month. People are even posting to him links to RAID systems on Newegg for cheap, but his response is more excuses for being lazy and incompetent and having no help. I've always build redundancy into my various business computer systems; this is basic to corporate survival. These days, the cost to implement redundancy is almost zero in the big scheme of things.

I recall on LP many just believed he does this during fundraisers to get freepers to donate more Frank Robinson on FR Facebook: I've seen several of these kinds of posts in the last few days, and I'm pretty much sick of them. Jim Robinson (no relation) has, for many years, furnished a platform for conservative news/views, at NO CHARGE. No annoying ads. As a physically handicapped person, he has figured out a way to make a living, without receiving government handouts. He is to be applauded. He, and his son, John, provides us with an addictive outlet for our joys and frustrations with government. He is a true conservative, in every sense of the word. Now, some people on here are yapping about "donations", and "freepathons"...my quest us, "why?". He doesn't charge you ANYTHING to sign up, and use FR. If any of you naysayers think you can do it better, then buy you a server, and get started. Jim and John know what they're doing. I've been on the board since 1998, and I can count on one hand the number of serious outages in all that time. If this outage upsets you, then find another website that pleases you more...go there, and stay there. You're acting like petulant democrats not getting their way. If you don't want to "donate", then DON'T...FR will be just fine without you grudges participation.good work work jim/John, we appreciate you both.

Oh, it's definitely down: http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/freerepublic.com.html and Johnny had to race off to San Jose to examine the hard drive and carefully carry it back to the trailer park like a Faberge egg to do incantations over it or something. Much easier than just installing new hardware with built-in RAID, I suppose. It's only been 20 years of screwups; they're still learning. But at least a few brave sheeple are posting on the FB site, reminding people that it always goes down during high-stress periods, too - like election nights, and are postulating why it needs to be that way given the amount of revenue they receive. That would be $29,000 per month, remember. Hank Rearden  posted on  2017-05-18   13:08:52 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #39.

Yes, the SANE Freepers are getting used to it, having already wise to the charade and flown the coop to other forums that don't prey upon the aging, the naive, loyal, honest patriots. Most Freepers are so used to using FR as their proxy best friend, hubby/wifey, and narcotic that many are likely having drug withdrawal symptoms and separation anxiety after 4 days. This is the same cruel joke and script the Robinsons have played on a regular basis for HOW LONG NOW??

Says he's going to go up to San Jose and purchase some additional equipment then he should be ready to install. And he says installation should be straightforward as the drive is pre-loaded and ready to go. The only thing he left off was the timing and I haven't heard back from him on that yet. Oops, he just responded to my question if we were going to be up today.. Said it depends on how many unexpected problems like he had yesterday pop up. Prayers up!
