Feelsbadman, I feel like we were just starting to grow too :/

But I was assured by entitled assholes that going down for a few days would be the absolute end of the community and it would never bounce back… I was assured it was extremely irresponsible bordering on criminal negligence for a hobby forum to not have at least three global points of presence each staffed with 24/7 on-call engineers.

Wait, what? For real?

fiddles with some buttons

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 40 points 1 week ago (3 children)

WHEW!

Man it sucked being stuck in that transporter buffer.

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Hahaha I think our alts all got some attention last week. I switched to a more local one rather than interest based, so it was actually cool seeing more geographically relevant posts.

It's given me more appreciation for the other instances of lemmy overall.

Still, so great to be back on my main!!!!

It's like the Hobbit taught us: traveling is good, but coming home is better.

Shhhhhh. You wouldn't import my settings and I was too lazy to re-create. But I have made a fresh backup and I'm going to try again. Right after I get off of the toilet.

That looks suspiciously like the phaser that killed @MelodiousFunk@kbin.social 🤔

You guys are the best. Thanks for the warm welcome back.

This post was actually how I learned slrpnk.net was back online.

[–] fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 1 week ago

Glad they're back

[–] ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So happy to be home again ^^

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 4 points 6 days ago

Welcome back, and I agree!

[–] quid_pro_joe@infosec.pub 11 points 1 week ago

Slrpnk.net was my first Lemmy server! I had absolutely NO IDEA how it worked, but I was motivated by my recent departure from Facebook and Twitter.

When they went down, it kinda felt like when you go to a party with someone and it's all their friends, and then your date vanishes into thin air, and your choices are leaving the party or making awkward convo with a rodent of unusually large size by the punchbowl...

huh? Even with the context I don't get it.

[–] End0fLine@midwest.social 53 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The slrpnk.net server went down and the admin wasn’t able to physically get to the server to fix the issue. It appears it came back up quicker than anticipated.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 25 points 1 week ago

thats pretty cool, slrpnk really has some good content and good beans.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Much quicker, I think they were talking like July lol

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Aaah, now that's good context. Thanks Blaze.

Great news!

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week ago

Woool our friends are back!

[–] infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

Not being able to participate anywhere on Lemmy merely because my home instance was down didn't feed very federated :(

Is there anything I can do to guard against that issue in the future? Is there a way to mirror an account between two instances or something?

Anyway, big props to the slrpnk admins for getting the instance back online quicker than expected. Your hard work is definitely not unappreciated or unnoticed.

Open an alt, export/import your settings
