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.

Very very bad timing. I just moved to that server and now it is just gone. I have moved to another server. I guess I am glad that it happened now so I know how poorly Slrpnk.net is managed.

If you want a professionally managed instance, you are welcome to pay for a hosted one.

Work trip and server problems. Where have I seen this before?

One issue in three years is poor management now? Wat

Solarpunks can have a little downtime, as a treat

people hate the big cloud solutions, but this is the kind of thing their HA infrastructure prevents against... hardware failures

i dont enjoy using (or paying for) aws, but i will never have a firewall or disk failure.

Yeah, but at least I have not disappeared yet
