First of all, I love you, slrpnk admins. You handled it all like champions! Happy to have you back.

Someone said in one one of the matrix chats during the outage that the fact that this instance is selfhosted and went down is like true experience of a solarpunk world; there won't always be power and that's okay!

Just wanted to write it down in a post since that message was so spot on.

That's how I got through it. Reminded myself that in a volenteer-based mutual aid society, 99.999% uptime garauntees aren't a thing and that would be good because it would apply to my work as well. Services go down, and as you shouldn't be addicted or otherwise dependant on such services, you can do something else with your time.

99.999% uptime guarantee is a silly thing, once you realize that all things that have to be just available all the time - some health or security or manufacturing lines - get 10 minutes downtimes easily with all these fancy nines. It's just some cliche to disempower us punks.
