    Heh, so you use the same host than Lichess, since they were also affected by the fire.

      Seems like a lot of big services got taken down. I wish those OVH admins all the luck in the world, they’re gonna have a stressful few weeks.

    I noticed most of the images here are broken, I’m assuming this is a result of the fire. I hope everything’s going well on your end.

        Every thumbnail image hosted on lemmy.ml seems to timeout, and post images don’t show up at all.

    Glad all online now.

    I hope the system administrators have not lost their job, and have backups.

    Oof! Glad the backups worked, there only seem to be one or two missing comments from my profile. I mean compared to the websites that got absolutely decimated by this, that’s pretty good!

    I was worried what happened to Lemmy. I was unable to access it, and was not able to observe a fallback error either.

    Glad the mouse and its whiskers are safe.
