Sometimes I want to post things without having the context and platform of being an instance admin. I have a lot of very fond memories of this instance. Hell, talking with Crom was what inspired me to start my own.

I miss Crom; I think about him a lot these days. I hope they're doin' alright out there somewhere. :blobhaj_heart:​

✨Plush✨ City Announcements

:plush: 🏙 📣 ❕New Hosting Provider + Upgrade! 

🔶 Since we decided we could no longer trust Scaleway to host our instance, we've moved to a new host-- @mastohost! They were kind enough to get us back online using our backups and existing cloud image storage.

🔷 And they're fast, too!! ^.^ And super nice!

🔶 While we were at it, we had to upgrade to Mastodon 2.4.0 to use their platform, so we went ahead and did that, too. ^^

🔷🔶 WELCOME BACK! 🎉

:plush: 🏙 📣 ❕Downtime Explanation 

🔶 Henlo soff frens! We had some downtime due to a hardware failure at Scaleway that their techs still haven't figured out how to fix.

🔷 D:<

🔶 Good news though! We were set up with nightly backups, so the instance is back online!

🔷 ^.^!

🔶 Unfortunately, that means we lost everything from 5pm PST May 30th up until the server went down at ~3:30pm May 31st.. so if you're missing something, that's likely why. Sorry, frens; we did our best!

🔷 This sucks!!!! ;o;

I've got the backup working! :tada:

Postgres is... weird. Really weird. I dropped and re-created the database and it somehow kept existing relations in place. :thaenkin:​

I'm spending time I don't have on this. >..>;;; Heck.

Scaleway has failed to bring the server back online. Their last contact with me was an apology some 12 hours ago with an escalation to "Engineering" and a promise to get back to me eventually.

I've asked them to delete the server and close my account.

If I can't get this backup working, I'm calling it over.

I'm beginning to suspect my database backup of ✨plush✨ city is useless.

Every restore I've managed thus far without errors during the restore has resulted in runtime errors like

ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid (PG::UndefinedTable: ERROR: relation "users" does not exist

I'm out of time to work on this today. ;~;

@mastohost Hi there!

Could you start an instance from a backup? Scaleway just ate my server.

Hey - what hosting providers do you recommend that aren't Scaleway?

My server's been "rebooting" for 5 hours now.

✨Plush✨ City is down due to what appears to be a hardware issue at Scaleway. I have attempted a hard reboot of the server without success. Scaleway support has not yet responded to my initial ticket reporting the outage.

We may be down for a while, friends. I might have to switch to a new hosting provider before this is resolved.

In the worst case scenario, I have a full server backup as of 5pm CST yesterday.

Henlo frens!

plush.city is currently down and unresponsive. I have not managed to get a response from support as for why this may be.

More updates to follow.

Okay friends, we just lost power and ✨plush✨.city is still running from the house, so we'll be offline for a while starting now. ♥️

We'll be back as soon as the power comes back, probably 3-5 hours from now.

Be excellent to each other. ^.=.^

I am now also @mawr@plush.city!

I'm testing it out for the moment and it's running on my house server, so no open registrations... yet. >..>

I came up with a new word today: "Brandsplain" 

As in: "Patreon made an update to their announcement trying to brandsplain their way out of the hole they dug themselves."
