Slrpnk.net outage

[myopinion@lemmy.today]

Very very bad timing. I just moved to that server and now it is just gone. I have moved to another server. I guess I am glad that it happened now so I know how poorly Slrpnk.net is managed.

Thanks for letting us know

[kris@feddit.org]

Yeah, I know. Complete Murphy's law situation.

[blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Thank you for letting us know, good luck!

If you want a professionally managed instance, you are welcome to pay for a hosted one.

[frostytrichs@crazypeople.online]

Ouch. Best of luck getting it back up and running ASAP.

[dosdude@retrolemmy.com]

Which is exactly what I did 2 years ago. Turns out the uptime is about the same and the price is higher than 0. But on the upside, if there's downtime I can (usually) immediately reboot the server.

The server got a little more accounts on there than I initially expected though. But I'm fine with that.

people hate the big cloud solutions, but this is the kind of thing their HA infrastructure prevents against... hardware failures

i dont enjoy using (or paying for) aws, but i will never have a firewall or disk failure.

Work trip and server problems. Where have I seen this before?

[tofu@lemmy.nocturnal.garden]

Solarpunks can have a little downtime, as a treat

[tachyontele@lemm.ee]

One issue in three years is poor management now? Wat

[piratefrog@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Out of 3 years of reliable service, this is the one time the server has been down for any length of time, and only due to the admin not being able to be physically present for a wildly unlikely and unexpected problem.

[kris@feddit.org]

Yeah, but at least I have not disappeared yet

[piratefrog@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Anything less than perfection is unacceptable! /s

[bacon_pdp@lemmy.world]

It happens, it’ll be fine.
Just remember not to stress out too hard about it and it’ll be fine. The solar punk community knows how to survive a server outage in style.

[evasive_chimpanzee@lemmy.world]

Seriously, I think a big part of solarpunk ethos is combating the notion that everything has to always be available 24/7. Society pays a lot to deliver every convenience like fruit out of season from the other side of the world.

[drspod@lemmy.ml]

Their HA infrastructure is all built on open source projects. The thing they have that we don't is teams of SREs on-call 24/7.

[zonenranslite@feddit.org]

I see you understand the allusion.

[khaleer@sopuli.xyz]

It looks like there is no enough solar power for solarpunk!

no need to show me where doors are, I will find them by myself

anyway, good luck with that!
