Solarpunks can have a little downtime, as a treat

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

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.

Alt of ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net chiming in, thanks for giving us the sitrep, poVoq!

This is an unusually unlucky set of circumstances, but for the Solarpunks who find their way here, let's try to make the best of it. If you don't already have an alternative account somewhere, you may want to create one to use until we're back up and running. lemmy.dbzer0.com, sopuli.xyz, or lemmy.cafe are some solid choices to consider. After that, you may want to favorite poVoq's post here so you can check back on any news.

Even without our home base, we can still share the solarpunky stuff we find and create around the threadiverse (though as Tofu mentioned, maybe this could be a time to take a breather to be refreshed when we come back 😄).

Besides, if the past is any indication, time will fly by and we'll be back before you know it!

This is making me want to create an alt on slrpnk.net , since you're so chill and communicative about issues.

Thanks for letting us know

Thank you for letting us know, good luck!

Shit happens. Thanks for the update 🙂

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.

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

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...)

Thanks for the update, good luck with your trip.

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

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

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

It happens, it’ll be fine. Just remember not to stress out too hard about it and it’ll be fine. The solar punk community knows how to survive a server outage in style.

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

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. :)

It looks like there is no enough solar power for solarpunk!

~~no need to show me where doors are, I will find them by myself~~

anyway, good luck with that!
