Slrpnk.net outage
-
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
Edit: we might use this “opportunity” to migrate the instance to Piefed, which has been an idea for quite some time now. I will keep you posted on that.
Thanks for all that you do for us and this community! A little downtime won’t hurt anyone. I would also be in gavour of PieFed migration

I’d probably make an account there if it moves to piefed.

I will no longer read that domain as “slurpink” thank you
Oh you will. I know the name for a few months now and I still read it slurpnik

Yeah me too, I’d wanted to for a while but never got around to it. Now I probably never will (unless they get the servers back up at some point in the future).
it seems they will, just not too soon

I appreciate the update was thoroughly confused

This is making me want to create an alt on slrpnk.net , since you’re so chill and communicative about issues.
He’s pretty awesome. He has a monthly thread with updates and actually responds to you too.
