I almost ruined it too...

For the love of all that is right... READ THE COMMANDS YOU ARE ABOUT TO RUN... I initiated a god damn "Forced Replay" after getting everything sorted out.. which would have resulted in another 2-3 days delay.. THANKFULLY! I had backed up the shared_mem.bin file along with the blockchain.. so I only had to transfer 25GB back to the server to fix my mistake.

Anyway..

I'm back up and running, It'll probably be a few hours before I produce my next scheduled block at which point I'll no longer show up as stale and also the version will update to 1.27.11.

I have a full backup of the blockchain, which as of now in compressed form is over 500GBs.

I've also updated my witness watcher that runs on an external VM to hopefully a version that doesn't memory leak, as when I went to check on it after my server died I found out the VM was completely inaccessible. So hopefully that is also fixed and what that'll do is if I miss a block it will automatically disable my witness.

Price feeds are back online and so far everything looks great.

I'm also added a free month of hosting for @helpie-caster because like it's the sensible thing to do when you have unexpected downtime and someone is paying for hosting.

Onwards and upwards!
