Slrpnk.net is down
Haven’t been able to access them for the past 24 hours
I expect we will be back soon, but it has taken a few days before

I tried to convince myself it’s just a friendly gang of frogs body-slamming some lily pads out in the garden pond, but the illusion was shattered when I realized even frogs need to sleep.
It’s been down for a few days now as far as I can tell.

poVoq here. After a string of bad luck it looks like I will not be able to get it back up before Tuesday evening. Super annoying.

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 😓
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.

What is a KVM? I’m not familiar with the term. I just meant that you aren’t able to SSH into the machine or something? But I guess if it’s turned off and physically unavailable, that’s hard.
A KVM is basically a second computer that acts as a virtual screen and keyboard that can be connected to the server to remote control it as if you were physically in front of it, including hardware resets and access to the bios etc.
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.
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:
Glad we have a timeline, much appreciated.
We don’t go down often (heh) but when we do we make it memorable (also heh)

All the good luck with that!
These things happen, can’t expect five nines from every server.

Damn. Hope y’all get your instance back soon ✌️
