Blåhaj often down (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

According to https://lestat.org/, the Blåhaj instance is down notably more often. What is happening or causing this?

Is it server costs? If so, I'm willing to contribute, but how should I do so? And if not, what would it be? Host issues? Targeted attacks, perhaps?

We are basically down at the moment, as our two database servers had a cascading issue. One went down and took down the other.

Our backup DB server is still up and running, but it's running on slower disks (with more space) and it's currently serving all of our instances and re-syncing the main two DB servers, so whilst that's happening, everything is really slow. It will be another 12 to 18 hours before it all syncs up again.

That being said, the site you are looking at for uptime information seems to be getting confused about our uptime, probably because we use dedicated regional endpoints. Until the DB issues in the last few days, our uptime has solid despite lestat saying otherwise.

Thanks for the explanation, that makes sense!

Either way, do you have a link for donations?

From what I could see on blah.zone recently, their was a problem with the database and they had to restore it from backups which took some time. I don't know why it was down at other times though

Thanks for bringing this up, I've been having trouble all day on the Blahaj instance and couldn't find anyone talking about it.

You wouldn't believe why we couldn't talk about it 😫

Tap for spoiler

Because the instance was down, duh

[–] velma@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 days ago

Lol yeah I'm aware. I couldn't find anyone talking about it on any other instance at the time either.

I have been unable to get lemmy to load for some time today. The matrix server is unreachable and even the sharkey instance was having issues. I posted on sharkey to let the admins know but they are on austrailia time so they tend to be up when I am not.

Depends on your timezone.

Comparing Sydney, London, and San Francisco, it'd be around 17 o' clock in Sydney, then it's 8 in London and 0 in San Francisco.
