If you're reading this, please so I can get back to being federated with the . Unfortunately, the data center I've been hosting with for years and years encountered some serious issues. I had to move suddenly, losing almost everything. I took the chance to change the software I use. But I've still lost all of my followers, all of my federation, etc! It's also taken down rblind.com, my passion project to get more folks off . I'll be bringing that back over the coming days. In the meantime, hi! I'm a blind guy who uses the , loves and works in the field, and reads tons of , , and and in my spare time. Nice to meet you!

If you're curious, the data center in question is Accuris Hosting (accuris.ca). They've been down for a week now, and have been radio silent to all customers. I've heard from there upstream that they're in a payment dispute and were disconnected, screwing everyone leasing IP's or bandwidth from them.

@MostlyBlindGamer The sad thing is that Accuris was a five minute drive away from me. If I wanted to go see my new server, it'd be a two or three hour drive now. cries

@fastfinge I avoid every opportunity to go to where my stuff is running. In part because most of my clients are 20 hours away in different directions.
But yes, I understand the allure of facing the option to take an ax to a misbehaving server. Or having the option.

@MostlyBlindGamer Why do you assume I want to take an axe to it? Maybe I just want to pat it on the case and tell it it's being a good boy? Oh never mind, you've known me for years. You're not going to buy that LOL
