Slrpnk.net outage

  • I know, I'm the one who approved your application.

    You happened to sign up right before we've had our first particularly bad issue in 3 years. Unlucky, yes, but it's a bit out of order (IMO) to say we're a poorly managed instance based on that, especially seeing as you lost nothing besides the time it took to write your application. 😕

    My loss of time is small true. I will just move on. But keep in mind new users may not be as knowledgeable as myself.

  • This is a very big issue for a server no mater when it happens. A sever you can’t reset and you go on a trip ridiculous.

    It usually can be reset, it's entirely unexpected that a component that enables that functionality would randomly break. You're essentially implying that any admin who self hosts cannot ever leave their house for any length of time without being irresponsible because they cannot ensure with 100% certainly that a computer component won't fail while their gone, or a lightning storm won't fry something, or a flood won't harm the servers.

    Like, dude, c'mon. We're volunteers, and poVoq is running this stuff for free. We're not an enterprise business with multiple staff on hand to swap out failed components 24/7 so that our 'customers' don't lose millions of dollars.

    If anything, this only proves the strength of decentralized media, as we're able to swap to a functioning node and continue on our merry way while the other is being repaired. Like what an incredible and resilient system considering none of this is making anyone any money.

    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.

    Shit happens. Thanks for the update 🙂

    Sending positive vibes, and passing offer of technical assistance once you get access again.

    Hopefully it's an easy fix once you get into things again.

  • Well, on the plus side lots of lessons learned and I think I might move at least the xmpp server to an external vps to have a backup communication channel.

    Not sure about your area, but a wireguard accessible OOB connection is a great piece of kit to keep handy. I use a cheap 768kbps SIM in an Ethernet connected switch into my personal systems. It's saved my skin numerous times.

    I'm sure this is obvious, especially in hindsight, but just mentioning because the existence of IoT LTE data plans for a minimal fee ( $100/year for me in Midwest US) was NOT obvious to me until 2 years ago.

  • Seriously, I think a big part of solarpunk ethos is combating the notion that everything has to always be available 24/7. Society pays a lot to deliver every convenience like fruit out of season from the other side of the world.

    And on the punk side of things, anybody familiar with volunteer community action, cooperative events, whatever, knows that sometimes a person doing shit for the community fails to do the shit they were supposed to do because some other shit happened in their life. It happens. We just move on to the backup shit-doer-person or find a workaround for the lack of shit.

    And this is the cool thing about a distributed network like Lemmy. If a giant centralized database like FB goes down, its users can't do anything. If our favorite Lemmy node goes down, we can log into other nodes until our home base is back up.

    Yeah I had plans to set up something like that, but always other priorities and in this specific case I could maybe access other internal servers but i would need KVM access to reboot the firewall or some other way to cut physical power. And exfiltrating hundreds of GBs of lemmy database wouldn't work over such a small pipe either.

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

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

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

    Sort of yes. It is a homelab a few people have access to, but currently they are all either on holiday or on extended work related travel. It seemed like an acceptable risk as everything worked smoothly for years.

    You're going to want to try "my little Internet" by Fisher-Price before using this adult Internet we're on.

    That makes sense, given the ethos of your instance, I hope you can fix it a soon as reason allows!

    That sucks. Thank you for your time and running the instance. Gonna miss you all like hell while you're gone. 😞

    Thanks for the info, a healthy amount of real life awaits then. 🙂

    I knew it was running on solar energy and old hardware so I guessed something like this had happened.

    If you need fail-over to awaken a backup system when the primary fails, things can be designed. 🙂

    Does Lemmy let you retroactively deny applications?

    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.

    Very interesting article! I have immense respect for jerry@infosec.exchange, he was one of the first people I found on the fediverse, and it's no wonder why, he's revered quite highly by others as being a generous and kind admin. I do want to point out one thing, and that is that Mastodon has some design decisions that make it rather resource and storage intensive. There are oodles of lighter software out there, some with even more features than Mastodon, and some with less. For example, snac.bsd.cafe (https://snac.bsd.cafe/) runs on Snac, which is fast as hell. I am going to guess that a not insignificant portion of Jerry's bill is caching assets. Mastodon likes to save everything it encounters, videos, images, avatars, everything... forever (though I imagine this is customisable). Most likely the assets are viewed a handful of times in one day and never seen again... but you'll pay to store it forever!

    Thanks! It's something that I personally feel is more performant and future proof for other important things like private discussions (which Mastodon also doesn't support natively yet — mention spamming doesn't count.)

    m_f@discuss.online not directly, but there was a session at FediForum on Thursday that discussed the website and next steps for updating it. It's been stagnant for quite awhile but evan@cosocial.ca and j12t@j12t.social finally have write access to the repo and control of the domain.

    I think the FEP process is overly complicated for what it is, but it's definitely helpful if you have multiple implementors on board. The easiest (but least accessible) solution is to document something on your own site, but that lacks the social proof that a finalized FEP has. Just some food for thought I'm looking to create an FEP for cross posting and would love to get the entire threadiverse dev community involved.

    @pfefferle Wow, danke für das super Video! Für mich ist das Fediverse noch ganz neu, hab jetzt mein Blog föderiert und mir einen Account bei Mastodon erstellt. Fühle mich noch etwas verloren, aber bin überzeugt auf dem richtigen Weg zu sein

    NodeBB is gearing up for a major release this month that brings full two way federation and content discoverability to forums as well! We've been working on it all last year! @activitypub
