Thanks. Should be back in a few hours hopefully.

A KVM is basically a second computer that acts as a virtual screen and keyboard that can be connected to the server to remote control it as if you were physically in front of it, including hardware resets and access to the bios etc.

I bought a KVM for that purpose, but didn't get around installing it.

The other person able to do it manually will be available the same time as me more or less so I don't want to bother them.

Yeah, I need to work on the busfactor.

The last time it went down was a similar situation and all the stuff I planned to prevent it next time I procastrinated on because the server was stable 🤦

No one knows 🤷

It is a work trip to the middle east. I am unlucky with work trips and server maintenance 😓

poVoq here. After a string of bad luck it looks like I will not be able to get it back up before Tuesday evening. Super annoying.

We managed to resolve the issue and I have many ideas how to avoid this in the future 🤓

Time to come back, it is working again. Lucky break 😅

Slrpnk.net is unexpectatly back online 🥳

Ah, right they just swapped out without migrating anything. Thats not really what we are aiming for, but their comment confirmes that remote subscriptions might get lost.

I would need to check at database level, but I guess on the subscribing side it is only a list of communities to display? The real "work" for subscriptions happens on the remote instance to decide with activities to send.

But that indeed raises the interesting point on how to retain subscriptions of remote users. Anyone got an idea how that is handled on database level? Is it just the same list but for the non-local users that are mirrored in the database?
