Oof. HUGE apologies for the Mastodon server outage. No, our maintenance did not happen early; the server ran out of memory and the database stopped working. 😩
Normally, this triggers a downtime notification to me, and my phone is configured to wake me the heck up when that happens. Today is a holiday here, and I was sleeping a little extra. But, inexplicably, the downtime monitor did not fire. It still doesn’t even recognize that there was any downtime at all: https://status.neatnik.net/ri3j
I have no idea why, but I’m going to find out. And once again I am so very sorry for the disruption. Our migration will still take place in about 10.5 hours, as planned, and given that the new server has twice the memory as the current one, we shouldn’t run into this particular issue again.
