[liberationtech] site hacked or attacked?

"Error establishing a database connection" is a common WordPress error
that happens when MySQL has either crashed or isn't responding to
connections. Chances are the site didn't get hacked and it's just having
trouble coping with traffic, or something on the server is trying to do
some really inefficient MySQL queries.
WordPress stores all of the blog posts and pages and other data on the
website in MySQL. Each http request (loading any page) causes the site
to make a bunch of MySQL queries and uses the results to build the html
to return to the browser. If there's a ton of traffic, there's a ton of
MySQL queries, and if MySQL gets overloaded it might take a really long
time to respond. If that happens, WordPress might give up and throw this
error.
You can solve this problem by using caching, which basically does the
MySQL queries once every couple minutes instead of once every request.
When the first person loads the homepage it makes all the queries,
builds the html, and then saves a static copy of the html. When the next
person loads the homepage, it just uses the static html and doesn't make
any queries. In this way, thousands of people can load the site at once
and MySQL only acts like it's one person.
There's a popular WordPress plugin called WP Super Cache that can do
this for you: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/
Just by installing it and enabling it WordPress websites can handle way
more traffic with way less MySQL load.

> > *Drones at Home* explores the strange allure of drones and the push for
> > their domestication?by governments, corporations, and everyday citizens.
> >
> > "Home" is understood at multiple scales?at the level of the individual,
> > backyard, community, border region, and homeland. The San Diego region is
> > featured prominently and regional issues are explored as exemplars of
> > global phenomena. The exhibition also departs from any strict
> > interpretation of the form that a drone must take; the project expands on
> > the "unmanned" nature of the drone as symbolic of a larger
> > condition--ecologies where the status of the human is called into
> question,
> > distributed and embedded in a wider field of shared intelligence.
> >
> > *Drones at Home* will be presented in three phases. Phase 1 includes an
> > exhibition; Phase 2 consists of panels and a workshop; and Phase 3, which
> > continues through the summer, will include the creation of new drone
> > projects in collaboration with invited artists and research groups at
> > Calit2. Co-curated by Sheldon Brown, Jordan Crandall, and Ricardo
> > Dominguez, this first phase will feature the work of Matthew Battles,
> > Trevor Paglen, The Periscope Project, Alex Rivera and Angel Nevarez,
> along
> > with additional work drawn from research in the field.
> >
> > Matthew Battles is a poet, writer, and co-founder of HiLobrow.com. His

> > Sovereignties of Invention* (Red Lemonade). He is a research fellow with
> > metaLAB, an academic and creative collaborative devoted to the
> exploration
> > of technology in the arts and humanities, hosted by Harvard University's
> > Berkman Center for Internet and Society .
> >
> > Alex Rivera is a New York based digital media artist and filmmaker. His
> > first feature film, SLEEP DEALER premiered at Sundance 2008, and won two
> > awards, including the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award. Rivera is a

> > Fellow and a Rockefeller Fellow. His work, which addresses concerns
> of the
> > Latino community through a language of humor, satire, and metaphor, has
> > also been screened at The Berlin International Film Festival, New
> > Directors/New Films, The Guggenheim Museum, PBS, Telluride, and other
> > international venues.
> >
> > Angel Nevarez is an artist, music ian, and DJ. He has produced works
> which
> > investigate contemporary music, dissent, and public fora, and move
> between
> > the spatial simultaneity of performance and enunciation, reflecting upon
> > the projection of political agency through transmission and song. His
> > interests lie in the formation of mobile, performative, and
> > discursive-based social spaces, along with the re-articulation of
> > communicatory systems within such locales. Nevarez is also a faculty
> member
> > of MIT?s Art, Culture, and Technology Program.
> >
> > Trevor Paglen?s work deliberately blurs lines between science,

> > art, journalism, and other disciplines to construct unfamiliar, yet
> > meticulously researched ways to see and interpret the world around us.
> > Paglen?s visual work has been exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of
