Slrpnk.net outage
-
And on the punk side of things, anybody familiar with volunteer community action, cooperative events, whatever, knows that sometimes a person doing shit for the community fails to do the shit they were supposed to do because some other shit happened in their life. It happens. We just move on to the backup shit-doer-person or find a workaround for the lack of shit.
And this is the cool thing about a distributed network like Lemmy. If a giant centralized database like FB goes down, its users can't do anything. If our favorite Lemmy node goes down, we can log into other nodes until our home base is back up.
-
Yeah I had plans to set up something like that, but always other priorities and in this specific case I could maybe access other internal servers but i would need KVM access to reboot the firewall or some other way to cut physical power. And exfiltrating hundreds of GBs of lemmy database wouldn't work over such a small pipe either.
-
That's unlucky, but is it hosted at someone's home?
-
Good luck and all the best. Time to touch grass, everyone
-
Sort of yes. It is a homelab a few people have access to, but currently they are all either on holiday or on extended work related travel. It seemed like an acceptable risk as everything worked smoothly for years.
-
You're going to want to try "my little Internet" by Fisher-Price before using this adult Internet we're on.
-
That makes sense, given the ethos of your instance, I hope you can fix it a soon as reason allows!
-
That sucks. Thank you for your time and running the instance. Gonna miss you all like hell while you're gone.
-
Thanks for the info, a healthy amount of real life awaits then. :)
I knew it was running on solar energy and old hardware so I guessed something like this had happened.
If you need fail-over to awaken a backup system when the primary fails, things can be designed. :)
-
Does Lemmy let you retroactively deny applications?
-
As a matter of fact it does, actually
-
Sorry to hear that! My main account is on slrpnk.net. But don't let it stress you out, "solarpunk" says "punk" which implies "DIY" which means this sort of thing happens. Much better to have an instance run by an admin who truly cares, rather than some soulless corporation.
-
Ty for the update! slrpnk is my favorite instance that isn't my home instance
-
This is making me want to create an alt on slrpnk.net , since you're so chill and communicative about issues.

Hey fellow slrpnk.net refugees... if you're looking to recreate your list of subscribed communities, here's a good place to start:

Lol love the new username, fitting! :)
-
Great list, as usual!
-
Good stuff, Sergio! :D
-
Yarr, thank ye kindly, Lazy :p

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.
