They have a nice little site up at the www.gentoo-wiki.com site with all

the grewsome details of what is going on. So as he said, please go there

for the latest news.

What I want to know is why there are no off-site backups.

The site is on a machine that is rented from somebody else who hires rack

space from another party. This is just begging for a disaster, or data being

held hostage. Which is what happened according to the write up at that

address. It's also a single point of failure.

I have a response to that site owner and most here are not going to like it:

You are an idiot. This is an elementary error and you fully deserve what has

happened. Now stop whinging about how the big bad nasty terrible person is

treating you and actually take some responsibility for your own mistakes.

Wasn't this wiki also 0wned and defaced sometime in the last year?
