Intentionally Blank

We have no access to the servers any more. We can't fix things. There is no IRC - so you cannot submit things via the upstart bot. So...

Can someone please return some sanity to the current situation? We are prepared to keep the site going until you have negotiated the future - just let us get on with today.

We will process the stories that are currently in the submission queue but they will become more out of date as time passes.

    I'm not sure about the time table but NCommander mentioned "migrating services one by one until we can fully decommission the current VMs" in his journal so I think you can put this down time under "scheduled maintenance" more or less: https://soylentnews.org/comments.pl?sid=55722 [soylentnews.org]

    Don't get me wrong: I desperately want SN to keep going, and I know everyone is working hard towards that goal. And also, just to be clear, I'm not complaining or being passive-aggressive. But from the point of view of this simple user, it really looks like the site will go silent any minute. I mean when the last resort for the team to communicate with one another is the main story page, that's what it screams to those who are not in the know.

      Yeah, I'm aware of that. I didn't get any sort of message in my email or other communcation until 2PM EST, although I saw after I got on the site that janrirok ran two articles about it. I got up and went to do tasks before someone contacted me directly at which point I got the IRCd going again.

        Can you explain why the Linode Advisory wasn't distributed as it normally would be?

        Although we couldn't restart IRC we would have been able to warn the community of possible disruption before it actually happened. We would have activated the alternative IRC and directed the community to it before the work started.
