AMIGA.org Server Outage

[F0LLETT]

@Karlos

Exactly! And we all saw how a prolonged shutdown affected Amiga.org traffic! This will divert people to Amiga.org or English Amiga Board and it's unlikely AmigaWorld will recover if they keep it down too long! Is that the idea?

@Thread

Is this how they kill AmigaWorld.net in order to boost Amiga.org? Why is one shut down while another site uses the bandwidth?

All I can say is wow!!!! The things you come out with sometimes. They are on completely different servers, just unfortunate the server it is on took longer to power back up.
I don't understand what the problem is. My own server never went down, but it has effected my daily backups as my server provider uses same data centre that went down for backup data.

Sure you can have loads of mirrors, but if something happens that can effect most of them. Doesnt it defeat the point. You cant predict what can happen tomorrow, regardless of how many reduncencies you have.

Its back up now.

Shame they had to replace tons of cabling, else it would have been sorted days ago.

Well, this is sysadm 101 stuff - plan for disaster - don’t put services and backups (eggs) all in the same physical location (basket). And it’s never been easier to make services georedundant, just about all providers offer multiple geographically separated sites and tons of tooling to help implementing proper redundancy. It’s easily worth the effort.

Well I have a working backup server of amiga.org, so we are good there, .

@F0LLETT

Thanks! That didn't take that long! Any more Amiga forum outages and I think Discord and Facebook will take over permanently! Just a worry I have!

Thanks for all the work you do and glad you have all your infrastructure intact to launch the A600GS. Good luck!

We did'nt take a week, the server provider did. They had a serious issue. Its now resolved.
