Today marks the first day my infrastructure shows all green since I started the original migration to k3s earlier this year
It has been a journey, and some other things are not green, but as far as things are going, data is safe, and uptime is reliable 
A client sends me an email:
"Do you remember that internal backup server you set up a few years ago? Could you log in and check if everything’s okay? I’m not seeing any errors, but I’m not sure if it’s actually working properly".
I have a vague memory of it - I’m guessing “a few years ago” is quite a high number.
They send me the credentials and I log in:
08:46:41 up 2957 days, 18:01, 1 user, load average: 7.09, 2.34, 1.50
And, surprisingly, no errors.
Everything is working correctly, backups are present, and the disks show no issues whatsoever.
Debian.
Boot date: 14/04/2017.
Impressive.
Does anyone have any knowledge about what countries and counties’ domain registrars are most likely to _not_ follow a domain takedown or seizure order coming from Trump’s administration in the coming years as pure censorship?
I have heard rumor the Netherlands doesn’t brook government censorship for other governments, but lack confirmation.
Maybe digital persistence has already crossed your mind too.
@avlcharlie Speaking of #Linux #uptime (some names blacked out to protect the innocent). It was behind a firewall and no one bothered to update it. Power was never lost. A real old version of Red Hat.
My server has been running for 240 days. #uptime
I have been working on a more feature rich v6check tool in the past few months.
Currently it monitors domains and has in site notifications for changes.
Check it out and share your feedback
I've made an interesting #observation re: #ChatGPT / #OpenAI...
Whilst they got sued by someone and forced to publish their #scraping #bots' #IP addresses, they actively prevent people from using and updating said #blocklist automatically by querying it.
I'm pretty shure that this violates their original settlement and that even if I query it hourly instead of once a day that this doesn't impact OpenAI's #uptime or #availability or #traffic at all since as of writing this file merely contains three lines:
52.230.152.0/24
52.233.106.0/24
20.171.206.0/24
And the downloaded file is 48 Bytes (!!!) small...
ping target is causing way more traffic to them than anything else.IDK what you guys made off this...
#JustSaying...
What are the best down/uptime websites available on the internet? There are plenty low quality sites, looking for the good ones. Thanks!

Now THIS is some badass #uptime -
I just ran an apt upgrade on my raspberry pi that's serving as a Unity cache server for all my machines at home. It's been a while so there were a lot of core service updates. This is its current uptime. Should I reboot it?
For those unaware...
I whipped up a monitor page via UptimeRobot showing the status of the top 50 Mastodon instances as listed on instances.social.
This shows the uptime status of the top 50 instances (as listed in instances.social).
Some sites appear to be blocking uptimerobot, I'll see if I can fix that, but for now, feel free to use that for a quick glance at how the biggest servers in the fediverse are operating.
