Slrpnk instance is down till mid July; they might relaunch their server on piefed.

The taste just isn't the same.
You might have eaten a different cultivar than those exported. In that case, I agree, there are so many different varieties that we never get to taste, supermarkets usually only have 1 or 2 different types

Itself embedded in an auto extractable zip executable.
Archived once more in RAR, just for sure.

And then tar.bz2 on top so that no basic users of sidewalks can ever open it.

Why is this a jpg?
It wouldn’t be meme-worthy were it lossless.

Is it in a data centre or someone's house? If the latter, would they let a stranger in?
Surely they would need a backup and replicate db to so in case of hardware failure they switch over.
Sounds like they could improve their setup.
Too much of a single point of failure.
Probably quite expensive, and when doing something as a hobby it's often hard to get the funds.

Did they run out of sun?

After a month and a half downtime all the users will have moved on to other instances. This is essentially a death sentence for the instance and its communities.
They didn’t need you anyway.

Lol in my head it stands for slurp nick
I’m glad I’m not the only one lol

Don't pull a feddit.de on people, alright?

You underestimate the userbase. I made a temp account in the mean time, but we are a hyper tight knit community. We will probably lose accounts - no question - but the core userbase will return
The local communities are such a great mix of uplifting and informative posts that I am sure to return.

Maybe is vacationing in United Kingdom

I think now that Piefed has an API for apps, we will see some of them adding support soon. Overall I think the benefits of a Piefed migration outweight the disadvantages, but it remains to be seen if it is doable.
you mean an API for bots...

Because fuck blind people, that's why

Yeah, the xmpp server is down too. That is something that bugs me quite a bit and I will probably move that one to an external small VPS to retain a more secure backup communication channel.
(speaking as a slrpnk user): Another backup communication strategy (once things are backup) might be to designate somewhere on a non-slrpnk instance as a place where people can check for updates if things go down; when I first discovered the outage, I wasn't sure where to go to check for info/updates.
Unrelatedly, I hope that this unexpected outage isn't causing you or other admins too much stress. Whilst the extended nature of this outage is unfortunate, I respect that you're using this as an opportunity to migrate to a more robust solution. This kind of resilience focussed response is a key part of the solarpunk ethos, in my view.
Some people have said that such a long outage seems likely to kill an instance, but for my part, this community is worth waiting for — I have enjoyed having an account on this instance because it feels like the perfect blend of small enough to have a distinct culture and ethos, but is large enough to be robust and diverse.

I agree. I replied to Kris elsewhere saying this, but I am super glad to have been a part of this instance because it feels like a nice balance of being large enough to be robust and diverse, but small enough to have a distinctive culture. I don't often interact with the communities that were on the instance, but I always enjoy seeing my peers crop up in the comments of various posts — it's one of my favourite parts of Lemmy being federated (db0 is another example of an instance that has such a distinctive vibe that seeing it as someone's instance is often useful metadata that affects how I parse their comment)

Mobile Apps need an API too.

It's baffling to me how customisable some fruit features can be. I know someone who works in plant genomics and cultivation and it's really cool how they can use genomic analysis alongside selective breeding to select for traits. I imagine that imported papayas are cultivars that are easier to transport internationally.

Idk, quite a few (me included) made alt accounts for the time being, and we'll return when it becomes possible, especially if we really do migrate to piefed.

why does everything need a mobile app?
