Slrpnk.net outage

[originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com]

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!

[melodiousfunk@startrek.website]

Thanks for the heads up, try not to stress too much.

[piratefrog@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Alt of ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net chiming in, thanks for giving us the sitrep, poVoq!

This is an unusually unlucky set of circumstances, but for the Solarpunks who find their way here, let's try to make the best of it. If you don't already have an alternative account somewhere, you may want to create one to use until we're back up and running. lemmy.dbzer0.com, sopuli.xyz, or lemmy.cafe are some solid choices to consider. After that, you may want to favorite poVoq's post here so you can check back on any news.

Even without our home base, we can still share the solarpunky stuff we find and create around the threadiverse (though as Tofu mentioned, maybe this could be a time to take a breather to be refreshed when we come back ).

Besides, if the past is any indication, time will fly by and we'll be back before you know it!

[viral.vegabond@piefed.social]

You guys have always been excellent. As others have stated, no need to worry.

I'll be giving piefed some love in the meantime

[takapapatapaka@lemmy.world]

I did not, can you give me a hint ?

[kris@feddit.org]

Well, on the plus side lots of lessons learned and I think I might move at least the xmpp server to an external vps to have a backup communication channel.

[kris@feddit.org]

The feddit.de admin disappeared on a work trip to Japan. At least that is the official story.

[myopinion@lemmy.today]

I signed up with them yesterday and then they go down for I don’t know how long. This is my only experience with them.
