Hey!
Unfortunately, Hetzner (our hosting provider) is currently experiencing some network issues. They are planning to address this with an emergency maintenance in roughly 13 hours from now, which will cause lemm.ee downtime. Hopefully we’ll be fully recovered later tomorrow!
What kind of web hosting service needs to entirely shut down to do maintenance? Surely they could do a gradual rollout once they’d found a solution to the issue
Hetzner do have their downsides. But the prices are unbeatable! I just wish that the customer service people be a bit more humane
I’ve been meaning to get a hetzner server, they seem pretty good overall
Usually you don’t need to shut it all down. But some customers might only pay for a VPS, they don’t pay for redundant nodes in other DCs and so on. So if you have to upgrade a rack switch pair you just kinda have to deal with a few minutes of downtime
True a few minutes for one host but the way it was phrased sounds like the entire thing is going down for aa significant period of time
