As many of you probably noticed the Hackbloc.org website (as well as all other hosted websites) were down on thursday and mail and mailing lists were out throught the weekend.  And then today our database was down.database was down.

This was all due to one of our sysadmins accidentally running the dreaded rm -rf /* command and deleting all of our bin, etc, and home directories before he realized what he had done and stopped the command.  I spent the weekend fixing it with the help of the other hackblocer's and now everything is back in working order.  The mail server and mailing lists are back as well.
