Operational Status (Downtime)

All times are given in Centeral European Time (CET), that is GMT+1.

Operational status information at external host (to be used when main site/server is unreachable/down.)

Internet connectivity loss for about 10 minutes or less is not reported here. Short connectivity outages are often related to either minor issues at the ISP or a DoS/DDoS attack and there's nothing I can do about that.

Downtimes

Planned downtime

• 18 December, the ISP are going to move us to new access equipment (DSLAM). Expect some downtime, but it shouldn't be too long.

Recent downtime

• 2008-11-25 08.00 - 09.45: Power failure (Upgrade work on the powergrid?)
• 2008-11-16 22.15: Reboot (kernel upgrade, PaX fix)

Past downtime

• 2008-08-17 09.30: Reboot (a process got stuck in interruptible sleep, kernel needed reboot)
• 2008-07-04 11.11 - 13.35 : Permanent fix for bad wiring problems from two weeks back.
• 2008-06-17 2008-06-18: Power failure, some problems with the wiring in the house. Power back at ~10 AM (semi-termporarily fix).
• 2008-06-11: Several hours of downtime (~08.30 - 19.00) because of a powerfailure and server not booting back up after.
• 2008-06-10: Several hours of downtime (~15.00 - 22.40) and server reboot because of a forest fire which lead to a longer power failure.
• 2008-06-09: Reboot at 12.05 CET, kernel messed up some process states and had to be restarted. Minor kernel upgrade also.

• 2008-02-23 - 2008-02-25: Internet connection down, ISP had to replace broken equipment. (blog post)

• 2008-02-22: Power failure, reboot.
• 2008-02-11: Kernel upgrade (see blog)
• 2008-02-02: Power failure between ~ 13.00 - 14.00. Server shutdown.
• 2008-01-31: Power failure between ~ 17.15 - 18.45. Server shutdown.
• 2007-11-26: CPU fan broke down (at about 05.00AM) and had to be replaced. System up again at 06.50AM.
• 2007-07-09: Power outage for ~30 mins at around 10 AM.
• 2007-06-10: The root filesystem got corrputed by the bad RAM. I had some big problems with this, but it's solved now. The server was down for quite some time, I had to really get to the bottom with this problem. I'm now 100% sure it was bad RAM, and that the new RAM (from my WS) is OK. Also, the PSU won't have to be replaced at this time.

• 2007-06-09: Big server problems! I've had to replace the RAM in the server (with some from my workstation as a temp fix), the system reports bad readings on 3.3V and 5V currents (probably need new PSU also!). Three kernel panics this night, should be a bit more stable now since I changed the RAM. Please consider a donation to support Blinkenshell and to cover for some of the expences for RAM/PSU!

• 2007-05-24: Network connectivity loss between ~13.30 - 14.30. Unknown problem at ISP.
