I think playing "from position" is also broken? I was playing chess with my friend and we usually play "from position" but it wasn't working just now so we're playing standard instead. It might be an unrelated bug.

There is no cloud, there is just other people’s computers. And they’re on fire.

The classic "lp0 on fire" error message comes to mind: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lp0_on_fire

Really though, I feel truly awful for anyone affected by this. The post recommends implementing a disaster recovery plan. The truth is that most people don't have one. So, let's use this post to talk about Disaster Recovery Plans!

Mine: I have 5 servers at OVH (not at SBG) and they all back up to Amazon S3 or Backblaze B2, and I also have a dedicated server (also OVH/Kimsufi) that gets the backups. I can redeploy in less than a day on fresh hardware, and that's good enough for my purposes. What's YOUR Disaster Recovery Plan?
