    Heh, so you use the same host than Lichess, since they were also affected by the fire.

      Seems like a lot of big services got taken down. I wish those OVH admins all the luck in the world, they’re gonna have a stressful few weeks.

    I noticed most of the images here are broken, I’m assuming this is a result of the fire. I hope everything’s going well on your end.

        Every thumbnail image hosted on lemmy.ml seems to timeout, and post images don’t show up at all.

          Looks like its a bug with our image host pict-rs, and someone uploading a malicious file that crashes it. @IngrownMink4@lemmy.ml . Its unrelated to this server restart.

    Oof! Glad the backups worked, there only seem to be one or two missing comments from my profile. I mean compared to the websites that got absolutely decimated by this, that’s pretty good!

    I was worried what happened to Lemmy. I was unable to access it, and was not able to observe a fallback error either.

    Glad the mouse and its whiskers are safe.

    Glad all online now.

    I hope the system administrators have not lost their job, and have backups.

    Oh shit I didn’t backup my server for ages and cannot access it at the moment… I think I will soon hate myself when I discover I lost everything…

      Is the server at OVH?

          I think somewhere on their webinterface is a way to find out in which datacenter your service was running. If it was SBG3 or SBG4 you’re safe, SBG2 is completely lost and SBG1 had some damaged rooms. Good luck to you and hopefully you’ll do more backups in the future
