Slrpnk.net outage

Submitted ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨Kris@feddit.org⁩ to ⁨fediverse@lemmy.world⁩

Alt account of poVoq@slrpnk.net here.

Our instance is currently down and I can’t get remote access to the servers. It appears that there might have been a hardware failure of the main firewall, which is the one thing I can’t work around remotely.

I am still trying a few things, but I am not very optimistic that I can get access.

The really unfortunate part is that just now I am on one of my rare work deployments abroad, so I also can’t access it physically during the next few weeks and my usual back up that could restart it is not available either.

As something like that never happened in 3 years operating the servers, I thought I can risk it, but murphy’s law seems inescapable 😓

I will try to keep you posted here on any updates, but probably there will not be much I can do for a while. Really bad timing 😥

Solarpunks can have a little downtime, as a treat

  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.

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.

Initiateofthevoid@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago
Try not to stress too much about it while you’re away! If nothing can be done, nothing can be done. Solarpunks need to be resilient to things like this anyway. Community over convenience.

  Thanks, I am trying, but it really is quite annoying to lose access like that.

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!

  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.

    Not sure about your area, but a wireguard accessible OOB connection is a great piece of kit to keep handy. I use a cheap 768kbps SIM in an Ethernet connected switch into my personal systems. It’s saved my skin numerous times.
    
    I’m sure this is obvious, especially in hindsight, but just mentioning because the existence of IoT LTE data plans for a minimal fee ( $100/year for me in Midwest US) was NOT obvious to me until 2 years ago.

    Might it also be possible/feasible to send an “email blast” to everyone with a slrpnk.net account? It would probably be quite complicated to send that many emails at once without getting blocked by the major email providers, but hypothetically we’ve all registered with emails…

  You’re very welcome! Kris@feddit.org / @poVoq@slrpnk.net is an incredible admin, and up until now has declined donations, funding the entire instance several years now from his own pocket.
  
  This current downtime is the exception that proves the rule. I hope he’s not stressing out too much. We’ll all be ready to jump right back into it when he gets back.

This is actually great timing, i’d say. Just now most of the northern hemisphere is starting into summer. At least i deeply feel it on a personal level that summer is arriving. I take this as a gift from the universe that directs me towards touching grass, and going swimming. Enjoy your summer, you all! Connect with your local community, if you can.

I this it’s a law that servers run 100% perfect until the literal day one leaves town with zero way to return home. One of the many reasons I got all my services off of unraid.

Very cool to learn you’re running your own machines. Do you go into detail about this anywhere?

source
- Kris@feddit.org ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago
  I think we will share a post-mortem write up of the actual improvements we will do to avoid this in the future.
  
  One thing I will definitly do is to add a KVM remote management console to one of our server boards and move the main firewall into a VM with hardware passthrough of the NICs (this was anyways planned for a 10gbit network upgrade for the second half of 2025). This way I should be able to reboot and even reinstall the main ingress point remotely, so that only the fiber gateway remains as a failure point that requires physical access.

    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.

  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.

    Even the big operations break in unexpected ways. Facebook accidentally broke the authentication for their door locks when they took the site down a few years back and had to fly people to a datacenter and break down a door to get to servers and restart things.
