  You’re not accidentally on a work trip in Asia? I ask for a friend.

    It is a work trip to the middle east. I am unlucky with work trips and server maintenance 😓

      Do you not have a way of remotely bringing the server back up?

      source

      • Kris@feddit.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        I bought a KVM for that purpose, but didn’t get around installing it.

        The other person able to do it manually will be available the same time as me more or less so I don’t want to bother them.

    I feel like I just missed the boat on this joke

      The former admin of feddit.de was on a work trip in Asia when feddit.de went down. The instance never recovered.

        Did he just not want to bring it back up when he returned?

        Next up on locked up abroad…

  Is that the second time this sort of thing has happened to you (where you were able to give us status updates, but not physically access your server), or was the previous incident I’m thinking of with a different admin?

  Either way, I appreciate you, but I think your ‘bus factor’ is too high.

  • Kris@feddit.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Yeah, I need to work on the busfactor.

    The last time it went down was a similar situation and all the stuff I planned to prevent it next time I procastrinated on because the server was stable 🤦

      I can relate. Been meaning to fix that hole in my roof for a while now.

  And also, some suggestions:

  • Your XMPP is also down. I just came across this by luck. Maybe adding your alternative username (kris@feddit.org) to your main povoq@slrpnk.net about is not a bad idea. That would help people find your posts when an outage is happening.
  • A status page (status.slrpnk.net) where you (admins) can leave comments? Perhaps, when slrpnk.net is down, automatically redirect there?

  Glad we have a timeline, much appreciated.

  We don’t go down often (heh) but when we do we make it memorable (also heh)

  Thanks for the update.

  All the good luck with that!

  These things happen, can’t expect five nines from every server.
