   tech? no! man, see... (technomancy@icosahedron.website)'s status on Wednesday, 26-Feb-2025 08:31:41 JST tech? no! man, see...

   my home server for @technomancy@hey.hagelb.org is down and I'm way on the other side of the world

   of course, I couldn't do anything even if I was home, because the power is out

   so first gotta wait for the crews to restore power

   then gotta wait for my cron job to update dynamic dns

     not necessarily complaining, I knew what I was getting into here

     fedi is pretty tolerant of servers temporarily disappearing, and it'll recover gracefully with time

     oh dear....... power's back on but the server's still not responding

     I guess 8 hours was a little too long for that poor old battery

     will have to chat my kid to ask to push the button once he's up tomorrow

     I've been using this home server setup since 2018 (albeit only for SSH until 2022 or so) and it has never happened *once* before that it's gone down so hard that it required manual intervention to bring back up

     just figures that it would happen to hit when I'm on the other side of the world!

     @indirect I had anticipated something going wrong with my dynamic DNS cron job, so I left the machine open to a terminal with the command to fix it all queued up so you could just press enter

     I did not anticipate massive power failure!
