Are you implying that 2 years ago, that was the only lemmy instance. Or was it only that lemmy instance (and maybe others that went down due to being hosted in the same location) that went down?

I think the 2nd one is more accurate. Time to change the title.

Wow, I didn't know you could change post titles. The future is now!

I had a server lost in that fire. Luckily I had a full cloud backup. Watching some businesses freak out about losing their data was crazy.

No firewall?

I work in a data centre, and when the details of that fire came out we were flabbergasted how recklessy they had built that thing.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
