my home server for @technomancy@hey.hagelb.org is down and I'm way on the other side of the world
of course, I couldn't do anything even if I was home, because the power is out
so first gotta wait for the crews to restore power
then gotta wait for my cron job to update dynamic dns
not necessarily complaining, I knew what I was getting into here
fedi is pretty tolerant of servers temporarily disappearing, and it'll recover gracefully with time
monitoring my #homeServer power outage by watching my IRC bouncer's connect/disconnect status messages from Matrix
oh dear....... power's back on but the server's still not responding
I guess 8 hours was a little too long for that poor old battery
will have to chat my kid to ask to push the button once he's up tomorrow
I've been using this home server setup since 2018 (albeit only for SSH until 2022 or so) and it has never happened *once* before that it's gone down so hard that it required manual intervention to bring back up
just figures that it would happen to hit when I'm on the other side of the world!
@technomancy this is always how it happens for me! 
@indirect I had anticipated something going wrong with my dynamic DNS cron job, so I left the machine open to a terminal with the command to fix it all queued up so you could just press enter
I did not anticipate massive power failure!
@technomancy @indirect i like to throw ssh on a tor hidden service for this reason, as a little escape hatch that usually works even when my normal network stuff has cut me off from getting back in
@technomancy @indirect only works as long as things reboot properly of course after power outages and the like
