Hello fellow Soylentils!

We were informed by Linode (our hosting provider) that they needed to perform Xen updates on all of our servers. This forces a reboot of our virtual servers which may cause the site (and other services) to be temporarily unavailable.

Here is the two-day reboot schedule along with what runs on each server:

Status Day Date Time Server Affects
Done Mon 2015-12-14 0300 UTC lithium Development Server, slashd, Varnish, MySQL, Apache
Done Mon 2015-12-14 0400 UTC helium Production Back End, MySQL NDB, DNS, Hesoid, Kerberos
Done Mon 2015-12-14 0400 UTC beryllium IRC, MySQL, Postfix, Mailman, Yourls
Done Mon 2015-12-14 0400 UTC sodium Primary Load Balancer
Done Mon 2015-12-14 0400 UTC magnesium Backup Load Balancer
Done Mon 2015-12-14 0700 UTC boron DNS, Hesoid, Kerberos, Staff Slash
Done Tue 2015-12-15 0300 UTC fluorine Production Front End, slashd, Varnish, MySQL, Apache, ipnd
Done Tue 2015-12-15 0300 UTC neon Production Back End, MySQL NDB cluster
Done Tue 2015-12-15 0400 UTC hydrogen Production Front End, Varnish, MySQL, Apache, Sphinx

As we found some errors with our MySql setup during the last Xen updates, The Main Site will be down starting at 2015-12-14 at 0300 UTC while we reconfigure MySQL prior to the shutdown of the main MySQL server helium. The site should be up by 0500 UTC.

We apologize in advance for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding as we try and get things up and running following each reboot.
