The instance admin is working on migrating the server as we speak. It’ll be back up sooner or later.

The migration is still in process. DB had to be restored a second time, and the admin says there is still stuff that needs doing.

Couple issues with the upgrade trying to be worked out.

As the instance’s owner and admin, there was a server migration that lasted for a day and nearly 8 hours. And yes, !meta@sopuli.xyz and my Mastodon are good places to check out regarding Sopuli’s status.

Aaaaaand this has just turned into a weird nuclear debate...

The words “Ukraine” and “nuked” should probably be used with special care at this particular moment in history.

Yeah I almost did a double take

It's on the nose but I don't think it should be causing too much confusion within a community that's about the fediverse.

Don’t worry, if Kyiv’s getting nuked, so are all the rest of us, so you’d have found out long before you had time to read about it! :D
More seriously, someone’s really gotta figure out how to attack the nuclear arms specifically. Putin is making it obvious that the world will never be safe if there’s even the remotest chance some lunatic could gain the ability to fire those things.
It would have to be the fastest military operation ever conducted in human history, but if it worked, it would save the world.

There needs to be more than one lunatic to follow those orders

Actually, I don’t think they’d ever find out about it. One second they would exist, and then suddenly, not so much. Obviously no one has any way to prove this, but the going expectation is that if you get nuked, you don’t even feel pain. It happens so fast, you just cease to be an alive person anymore, and instead become a pile of ash. You essentially go from healthy living human, to creamation where you stand, in an instant.
Obviously nobody who’s ever been vaporized like that can comment after the fact if they felt pain, or were aware of anything. What we do know is there have been recovered scenes after the Japanese nuked cities where you see a shadow in the shape of a person. That’s where that person was, and their body cast enough of a shadow in that moment of bright intense light, that it prevented the ground from being cooked by the blast. Unfortunately, nobody was giving the middle finger to something unrelated when the blast happened. As dark as the situation was, if it had to happen, it would have been kinda neat if the shadows were doing something interesting by pure chance.
But yeah, they wouldn’t have had time to even know they’d been bombed.

The moment Russia uses nukes in Ukraine is the moment they get completely fucked by NATO. It's been pretty clear that nuclear weapons are the reddest of red lines.
And in case of a Russian collapse I guess we'd need some form of UN intervention to secure certain nuclear sites. Really depends on how bad things would go there in such an event though.
