Operational Status (Downtime)

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

Blinkenshell Twitter If the entire site is down check for status messages on Twitter or IRC.

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.

• 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)

• 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!
