Slrpnk.net outage

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.
-
Many of the .ee communities are in the process of migrating, so hopefully the list can be updated with their new homes.
-
I this it’s a law that servers run 100% perfect until the literal day one leaves town with zero way to return home. One of the many reasons I got all my services off of unraid.
Very cool to learn you’re running your own machines. Do you go into detail about this anywhere?
-
I've had the opposite--personal trip and work server problems.
-
Might it also be possible/feasible to send an "email blast" to everyone with a slrpnk.net account? It would probably be quite complicated to send that many emails at once without getting blocked by the major email providers, but hypothetically we've all registered with emails...
Just spitballing ideas for the future. Everything's fine now. Gives me an excuse to spend a little more time on the Canadian end of the fediverse. :)

We have a small write up about the hardware on our wiki, but it is also down right now.
I think we will share a post-mortem write up of the actual improvements we will do to avoid this in the future.
One thing I will definitly do is to add a KVM remote management console to one of our server boards and move the main firewall into a VM with hardware passthrough of the NICs (this was anyways planned for a 10gbit network upgrade for the second half of 2025). This way I should be able to reboot and even reinstall the main ingress point remotely, so that only the fiber gateway remains as a failure point that requires physical access.
-
As email in profile is an optional feature on our instance about 50% of the userbase opted to not share one so we would only reach some people. But yes, getting spam filtered would be another problem of mass-mailing.
But I found a way to put up a simple html error page and will add this later to inform our members and link to this thread.
-
They have stepped in when a lot of people complained, it took their whole instance complaining to do so while a Nazi troll spammed hate across the local feed.
-
Yeah me too, I'd wanted to for a while but never got around to it. Now I probably never will (unless they get the servers back up at some point in the future).
-
Thanks for all that you do for us and this community! A little downtime won't hurt anyone. I would also be in gavour of PieFed migration
-
I'd probably make an account there if it moves to piefed.
-
Oh you will. I know the name for a few months now and I still read it slurpnik
