GitLab.com Database Incident | GitLab
Yesterday we had a serious incident with one of our databases. We lost six hours of database data (issues, merge requests, users, comments, snippets, etc.) for GitLab.com. Git/wiki repositories and self hosted installations were not affected. Losing production data is unacceptable and in a few days we’ll post the 5 why’s of why this happened and a list of measures we will implement.
Update 6:14pm UTC: GitLab.com is back online
As of time of writing, were restoring data from a six-hour-old backup of our database. This means that any data between 5:20pm UTC and 11:25pm UTC from the database (projects, issues, merge requests, users, comments, snippets, etc.) is lost by the time GitLab.com is live again.
Git data (repositories and wikis) and self-hosted instances of GitLab are not affected.

Plex enables voice control of media via Alexa – Six Colors
Even though Ive been waiting for the much-anticipated Sonos-Alexa integration, it hadnt occurred to me that I could be using my Amazon Echo in conjunction with other media. So todays announcement by Plex that it was rolling out an Alexa skill allowing control of your media library took me by surprise. So I fired it up and quickly ran it through its paces. The verdict? Definitely shows some promisethough its hampered by a few limitations, not all of whoch are under Plexs control.
The Plex skill is definitely one of the more complex third-party features Ive used. First you have to enable it, then log in to your Plex account, then authorize Alexa to access your Plex account. But wait, theres more! After that, you have to set both your default server and player. The latter was where I ran into my first hiccup: I intended to set my Apple TV as the default player, but at first it wasnt detectedpresumably because the set-top box was asleep. But eventually after waking it up and opening the Plex app (and opening the Plex app on my iPhone and on the web), I was finally able to set the Apple TV as my default player.

Facebook shows no sign of stopping, now has 1.86 billion users
Facebook is under quite a bit of pressure of late. It’s trying to fix the rise of fake news and clickbait on its News Feed and, more recently, it’s had to deal with the Zenimax lawsuit against Oculus. But all of that hasn’t eaten into Facebook’s bottom line. As its Q4 2016 earnings report shows, the company once again raked in cash hand over fist, with $8.8 billion in revenue and $3.56 billion in profit. Its user growth also continues to climb, with 1.86 billion monthly users and 1.74 billion logging in on mobile. Mobile advertising made up 84 percent of its revenue last quarter.
Those numbers are pretty good when you look at daily users too. The company reports that 1.23 billion people use Facebook everyday, with 1.15 billion doing so from mobile devices. Still, the growth is only up 3.91 percent from last quarter, whoch is slightly slower than the 4.67 percent reported a few months ago. Also, while $8.8 billion is certainly a hefty amount, it’ll lose around $500 million due to the Zenimax lawsuit payoutannounced earlier today.
