Slrpnk.net outage

This is something that even larger corps struggle with. My old company would buy some other company, lay off a bunch of people, others would quit, and then it was shocked Pikachu faces all around when That One Thing stopped working in an office they turned into a ghost town and, well, no, nobody was going to be there until Monday morning to power cycle etc. True lights out/OOB reachability is WORK. And there's always going to be a SPOF somewhere that requires hands on-site.
Do what you can, when you can. And thank you for all that y'all have done so far.

You mean create an alt, right?

Knowledgeable? Lmao

This is actually great timing, i'd say. Just now most of the northern hemisphere is starting into summer. At least i deeply feel it on a personal level that summer is arriving. I take this as a gift from the universe that directs me towards touching grass, and going swimming. Enjoy your summer, you all! Connect with your local community, if you can.

thirty minutes later
Okay I touched grass and now I'm bored and itchy

For that, I'd highly recommend a power conditioner with outlet controls (and preferably sequencing).
Most are pretty expensive, but you can get something like a surgex squid or a gude expert power control for a few hundred here and there, which will give you great data on power usage as well. You can also grab an older model with serial and/or relay controls, and use a pi or whatever is handy to trigger it. Actually have a setup like that in a few racks for clients (mostly orange pis and a couple of Asus tinker boards).
Hope your trip goes well!

Try not to stress too much about it while you're away! If nothing can be done, nothing can be done. Solarpunks need to be resilient to things like this anyway. Community over convenience.
-
communicative about issues
Aren't most admins this way?
*glances at your instance name*
Ah...
-
Thanks for letting us know! Try not to worry about it too much, it’s all good
-
Thanks, I am trying, but it really is quite annoying to lose access like that.
-
Glad that at least someone sees a positive side of it, because I sure don't... well at least it gives me a bunch of ideas how to avoid such situations in the future

-
Thanks for the update, good luck with your trip.
-
Thanks for the heads up! My Main account is in slrpnk, so I'll set a reminder in an month to switch back. :)

pretty hands-off
Given that the single admin @SDF@lemmy.sdf.org hasn't been active in two years, yeah, I'd say that counts as "pretty hands-off". The SDF organization as a whole will probably be around for decades to come, but they don't seem to care that much about their Lemmy instance.
-
Yeah! It's definitely worth adding to my list of migration contenders now that lemm.ee is closing and I have to jump ship
-
Opengear cellular backup appliance with serial/console connectivity to hardware.
-
You will unfortunately have to get rid of the lemmy.ee links since they are closing down very soon.
-
I will no longer read that domain as "slurpink" thank you
-
I miss BBS.
