This is actually great timing, i’d say. Just now most of the northern hemisphere is starting into summer. At least i deeply feel it on a personal level that summer is arriving. I take this as a gift from the universe that directs me towards touching grass, and going swimming. Enjoy your summer, you all! Connect with your local community, if you can.

Found this post after a couple of days of hopeful reloading of the page! Took another couple of days to log in an old alt just to say I’m glad you communicated this, and let us know how we can help to make it more resilient (if at all necessary).

To the kind soul that was helping me with my greenhouse infested ants (in the unlikely event they are reading here - but iirc they were not from slrpnk.net but just passing by) I’m glad we spoke, it seems like they are harmlessly using my panels for hatching, and then moving on! Related, who has a nice gardening/greenhouse community to suggest? :)

That’s unlucky, but is it hosted at someone’s home?

Hey fellow slrpnk.net refugees… if you’re looking to recreate your list of subscribed communities, here’s a good place to start:

(luckily I was posting this to newcomers whenever I had the chance…)

Good luck and all the best. Time to touch grass, everyone 😔

Thanks for letting us know

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 💙

Solarpunks can have a little downtime, as a treat

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

I this it’s a law that servers run 100% perfect until the literal day one leaves town with zero way to return home. One of the many reasons I got all my services off of unraid.

Very cool to learn you’re running your own machines. Do you go into detail about this anywhere?

Sorry to hear that! My main account is on slrpnk.net. But don’t let it stress you out, “solarpunk” says “punk” which implies “DIY” which means this sort of thing happens. Much better to have an instance run by an admin who truly cares, rather than some soulless corporation.

Thank you for letting us know, good luck!

Thanks for the heads up, try not to stress too much.

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.

Sounds like your ‘bus factor’ is too high and you need a few more backup admins.

Ouch. Best of luck getting it back up and running ASAP.
