Was the site down today just for me?
As title says ^ this site was unreachable for several hours and was wondering what was going on
Nothing much except that today I was sick, I couldn't respond to service disruption fast enough.
Another outtage while I'm out cold on bed. Sorry guys, the new server are almost ready, which should improve reliability. Allow me to recover first (1-2 day)

Happy new year in advance.

That outage surprised me. I thought the site was taken down. >.<

The same for you. Take care of your health! And thank you for the new servers!
There is definitely something wrong with the old server. However, I won't be troubleshooting it, as we will be moving to the new server very soon. Quite timely, I'd say.
I wanted to address and provide clarity on two significant incidents that occurred today, affecting our services.

Filesystem Corruption on Balancer: Earlier today, we encountered an issue where something corrupted the filesystem on one of our servers. This resulted in intermittent uptime and downtime, causing unpredictability in our service availability.

Complications Following an OS Upgrade on the App Server: Following closely on the heels of the first issue, we experienced complications due to a borked upgrade to the operating system on our older server. This situation required immediate and major intervention to prevent further disruption.

These back-to-back incidents underline the precarious nature of our current server infrastructure and highlight the urgent need for us to transition to a new server setup. I want to assure you that the move to a new infrastructure is underway. While we have not fully completed the setup of the new infrastructure, I am pleased to report that we are close to finalizing it.

I understand the frustration and inconvenience caused by today's incidents. Please know that we are working diligently to not only address these immediate issues but also to prevent such occurrences in the future by moving to a more robust and reliable server infrastructure.
Thank you for bringing it back and your post-mortem post!
Thanks for keeping us informed ❤️
It is still giving me corruption/ errors, prepare for the next maintenance round. Probably dead SSD.

Edit: Done, deployed a new balancer, now I shall cross my finger to have a good night sleep. Been having another sickness that involve with dry coughing that isn't covid.
Get well soon, Checkmate.

Seems to be holding.

Rest easy.

So it's not only happening to me....
Tried VPN and Windows RDP, sample images still failed to load.
Optics problem, I actually wrote this 2 hours ago on the IRC. Nothing I can do for but wait for the D.C to sort it out.
Thanks for the update. Knowing what's going on is half the battle, waiting is the other half.
Technically, I can reroute traffic to this ... thing we are speaking here but it would be slow.

Edit: temporarily reroute traffic. Site will be slow but atleast things will load.

I'll update whenever the optical cable are fixed.
Thanks! It's working well. Thumbnails and images loading up fine here.
Update: upstream has implemented a partial solution to address the issue. In addition, I have applied my own partial fix to help alleviate the problem.

Furthermore, I am currently transferring the data to another storage server for a specific and undisclosed reason.

Please note that the performance of uncached assets may be slower than usual during this process. I will keep you informed as soon as all tasks are completed.
I don't know if anyone else had this issue but for at least a month any post that's at least 40mb or more won't save as png when i try to download it and tries to save as a chrome html document

I’m sure that a (temporary?) solution has been given, but I can’t find it.

Try this: right click on “Download PNG (× MB)” and save it from the link. It should work this way.
