Server was down due to a dead power supply in an upstream piece of equipment.
Damn, there goes the uptime (gotta love linux): up 980 days

After 980 days I guess we can tolerate one reboot.

I immediately recognized this as the first step of martial law, donned gas masks, and retreated to my bunker.

Honestly I didn't notice. The page didn't load when I spun up the laptop but I was too busy stripping the stain off my deck to be disappointed.

These things will happen. All things manmade fail from time to time.

Archer and I plan to reboot both of Jack's servers on Monday 1/15/18 some time between 9:45 AM and 12 noon Pacific time.

This will affect

ninemile.farm
and a few other sites.

Normally this causes only a few minutes of outage, during which you'll receive nothing at all (not even an error message) from the websites hosted on that server. So don't panic.

is it time to panic yet? oh wait, i'm not allowed to panic..

Mr. Bill · « **Reply #9 on:** January 15, 2018, 10:39:14 AM »

You may not panic. That's my job.

Mr. Bill · « **Reply #15 on:** January 15, 2018, 11:13:33 AM »

Everything worked right on the first try.

We do have miracles occasionally.

Mr. Bill · « **Reply #16 on:** January 15, 2018, 06:16:55 PM »

We'll have a few more minutes of downtime (on the forum only) Tuesday 1/16/18 around 10 AM Pacific. A few people are reporting oddities in their read/unread posts, so I'm going to run some database repair and testing routines. Oughta take 5 or 10 minutes.

Database repair/cleanup complete. Let me know if you see anything malfunctioning.

Mr. Bill · « **Reply #21 on:** January 22, 2018, 10:36:38 AM »

We will be restarting both of Jack's servers AGAIN in a few minutes. (More updates related to the "Meltdown" and "Spectre" vulnerabilities.)

This will affect
thesurvivalpodcast.com

Expect a few minutes of outage.

On second thought, maybe we won't.
