We have been informed by Linode (which hosts our servers) that there is some hardware maintenance being performed tonight. The impacted servers are 'fluorine' and 'neon'. Here is the message we received:
Linode continuously monitors the health of our equipment and we've been alerted to a condition which affects the physical server on which your Linode is hosted. While we have determined that this is not an emergency, this should be addressed in order to optimize the performance of your Linode. We have scheduled a maintenance window for the physical server on which your Linode is hosted:
Friday, September 16, 2016 at 1:00 AM EDT (5:00 AM UTC)
Downtime from this maintenance is expected to be no more than 1 hour. Please note, however, that the entire maintenance window may be required. Your Linode will be gracefully powered down and rebooted during the maintenance. Services not configured to start on a reboot will need to be manually started. If this time frame does not work for you, you have the option of migrating to another host which has these settings enabled.
Thanks to redundancy between our front end and database servers, our main site should remain functional. There will, however, be some minor inconveniences. During this period:
We appreciate your understanding and patience while the servers are being serviced.
We anticipate most of the affected services should auto-restart; those that do not will be addressed starting around 0600 CDT (0700 EDT / 1100 UTC).
UPDATE: All is shiny and happy again.
