Admin that had access to the server went AWOL in October and now the server has died.
If I had a nickel for every Lemmy admin of a big instance who went missing I would have two nickels.
Which isnt a lot but its weird its happened twice.
What isn’t a lot but it’s weird it’s happened twice
Admins going missing and their instance disappearing
Weird
twice
happened
it
What is the other admin that went MIA?
@wintermute@feddit.de
He was the admin of feddit.de. I think he went on a work trip to SE Asia and was never seen again. First technical problems troubled the instance until nobody paid for the server and domain anymore. Now the new feddit.org is governed by a non-profit with multiple admins.
Next the domain name will be for sale for like $2500. lmao
Hexbear flashbacks
I did some rough math on this and that would be the least of the worries. The cost of hosting a nsfw instance would easily be $500-$1000 per month.
Which leaves me wondering if part of it going down was funding.
What means the Term "AWOL"?
Absent with-out leave
Edit:
Realizing I should add more 🙂 means they left without saying they were leaving or when they'd be back. Term is namely used in the military iirc
It’s “absent without official leave”, meaning they don’t have permission from the chain of command to be absent from their post (which is literally just wherever they are supposed to be).
It’s not a matter of saying you’ll be gone and when you’ll be back, it’s a matter of having official permission to be away from your duties (aka leave). They won’t get you for it for being off-base in your free time, but if you are off-base on THEIR time, then you are AWOL. You can also be AWOL without actually going anywhere, like if you are sick and stay in bed without contacting your superior, or medical for a chit, very likely considered AWOL .
Ey, that makes even more sense :) thanks!
AFKWOL
Absent Without Official Leave
I was assuming "AlWays OnLine"
This clears up some confusion
I didn't know this.
Damn, is there anyone who could get it back online?
From what I know, no unfortunately.
Hack the server
The sheer risk of running NSFW servers in this post-OSA timeline, I wouldn't be surprised if they just homer-simpson'd into the bushes, and waited for it to all be over.
