Sorry that kbin.earth has been down today. Apparently, several people had issues yesterday, but I hadn't realized the full extent due to Matrix severely delaying my notifications.

The server unfortunately crashed while I was unavailable for the day, so I wasn't aware of the issue and couldn't fix it till I got back.


As an aside and general note for everyone, I don't intend on ever shutting down kbin.earth without notice. I also don't intend on completely disappearing either; I don't want people needing to wonder if something happened to me. If I plan to shut down kbin.earth (which I don't btw), I will give as much warning in advance as I can. (I'm not going to be a repeat of kbin.run)

Today only occurred due to an unfortunate combination of technology issues (my failure to receive Matrix notifications and the server crashing) and unavailability.


Again, sorry for the inconvenience. Best regards.

Dear god I almost went outside too!

Nah more seriously, thanks for keeping the instance running. It's remarkably reliable considering it's (so far as I know) just you

    Thank you for the kind words! Yeah it is just me on the server side. We do at least have several admins now for moderation though.

    Also, I haven't forgotten about the federation lag (mentioned here) and am still investigating it.

    Honestly I was more worried about you than the server.

    Maybe you could setup Uptime Kuma . You can setup notifications over a variety of providers (I use ntfy) so you notice when your server is down :)
