Dear friends of #BSDCafe, unfortunately, last night a submarine cable connecting Finland and Germany was damaged (https://www.cinia.fi/en/news/a-fault-in-the-cinia-c-lion1-submarine-cable-between-finland-and-germany) - Hetzner has already announced that there may be increased latency (https://status.hetzner.com/incident/ec8a2f28-e964-46cb-94fa-bb4629c19777).

I’ve noticed a (slight) increase in latency towards BSD Cafe services and some (brief) connectivity interruptions.

I’m considering a few options to move – at least temporarily – the VM hosting the actual services (not the one acting as reverse proxy, as I don’t want to change all the IPs right now) to another datacenter in Germany or to a different provider.

The move would still be very quick, and the downtime would be (slightly higher than) a reboot time.

I’ll evaluate the situation over the next few days.
