Good luck and all the best. Time to touch grass, everyone
You mean create an alt, right?
-
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.
Knowledgeable? Lmao

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.
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.

Okay I touched grass and now I'm bored and itchy

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.
For that, I'd highly recommend a power conditioner with outlet controls (and preferably sequencing).
Most are pretty expensive, but you can get something like a surgex squid or a gude expert power control for a few hundred here and there, which will give you great data on power usage as well. You can also grab an older model with serial and/or relay controls, and use a pi or whatever is handy to trigger it. Actually have a setup like that in a few racks for clients (mostly orange pis and a couple of Asus tinker boards).
Hope your trip goes well!

Try not to stress too much about it while you're away! If nothing can be done, nothing can be done. Solarpunks need to be resilient to things like this anyway. Community over convenience.

This is making me want to create an alt on slrpnk.net , since you're so chill and communicative about issues.
communicative about issues
Aren't most admins this way?

Ah...

Thanks for letting us know! Try not to worry about it too much, it’s all good

Thanks, I am trying, but it really is quite annoying to lose access like that.

Glad that at least someone sees a positive side of it, because I sure don't... well at least it gives me a bunch of ideas how to avoid such situations in the future

Thanks for the heads up! My Main account is in slrpnk, so I'll set a reminder in an month to switch back.

pretty hands-off
Given that the single admin @SDF@lemmy.sdf.org hasn't been active in two years, yeah, I'd say that counts as "pretty hands-off". The SDF organization as a whole will probably be around for decades to come, but they don't seem to care that much about their Lemmy instance.

Yeah! It's definitely worth adding to my list of migration contenders now that lemm.ee is closing and I have to jump ship

## Hey everyone We’re really sorry to say this, but lemm.ee [http://lemm.ee] will be shutting down on June 30, 2025. ### What you need to know As of now: - New user registrations are disabled - Creating new communities is disabled What you should do: - You can export your settings at https://lemm.ee/settings [https://lemm.ee/settings] to take them with you to another instance. - If you’re moving to another instance, consider adding a note to your lemm.ee [http://lemm.ee] profile with your new username. Your old profile will still be visible from other instances even after we go offline. - Alternatively, if you want to delete your lemm.ee [http://lemm.ee] profile, now is the best time to do it, so the deletion can federate out before we go offline. - If you’re one of the folks supporting us with a recurring donation, please remember to cancel it (Ko-Fi donations should have been cancelled automatically already). Our leftover funds are already enough to cover our bills for next month, so we can keep things running without any more support. Because of how Lemmy is built, everything posted on lemm.ee [http://lemm.ee] will still be accessible from other instances, even after we go offline. ## Why this is happening The key reason is that we just don’t have enough people on the admin team to keep the place running. Most of the admin team has stepped down, mostly due to burnout, and finding replacements hasn’t worked out. The sad reality is that while there are a lot of great people on Lemmy, there are also some who use the platform to attack others, stir up conflict, or actively try to undermine the project. Admins are volunteers who deal with the latter group on a constant basis, this takes a mental toll. Please understand why our admins chose to step down, and be kind to the admins on whatever instance you decide to join. — We know this sucks. We’re genuinely sorry it’s ending like this.

Many of the .ee communities are in the process of migrating, so hopefully the list can be updated with their new homes.
