If only there were no downsides whatsoever…\n\n15 Likes\n\nThe recovery process is still underway. There were complications, as usual with these kinds of things. davean is still physically at the server repairing the filesystem. I think there are still some hard disk swaps coming up, too.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/2026-08-18-infrastructure-update", "canonical_source": "https://discourse.haskell.org/t/2026-08-18-infrastructure-update/14581#post_2", "published_at": "2026-08-19 08:09:19+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-19 08:41:03.114519+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-ethics"], "entities": ["Haskell.org", "Hoogle", "downloads.haskell.org", "GitLab", "davean", "Hécate"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/2026-08-18-infrastructure-update", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/2026-08-18-infrastructure-update.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/2026-08-18-infrastructure-update.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/2026-08-18-infrastructure-update.jsonld"}}
