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.
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.
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 🤦
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?

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.
TrackShovel@lemmy.today · 6 pts · 175d
I feel like I just missed the boat on this joke
Blaze@piefed.zip · 8 pts · 175d
The former admin of feddit.de was on a work trip in Asia when feddit.de went down. The instance never recovered.
Skavau@piefed.social · 5 pts · 175d
Did he just not want to bring it back up when he returned?
Kris@feddit.org · 6 pts · 175d
No one knows 🤷
TrackShovel@lemmy.today · 5 pts · 175d
Next up on locked up abroad...
Kris@feddit.org · 5 pts · 175d
It is a work trip to the middle east. I am unlucky with work trips and server maintenance 😓
SorteKanin@feddit.dk · 1 pts · 174d
Do you not have a way of remotely bringing the server back up?
Kris@feddit.org · 4 pts · 174d
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.

Yeah, I need to work on the busfactor.

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

Thanks for the update.

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.

Povoq said they would likely be able to fix it on Wednesday
