Back Up *MOSTLY*

- unplanned downtime
All on-premises Squidge services (squidge.org, Image Hosting, SquidgeWorld, Classic Squidge, IRC) went down Thursday night at approximately 6pm Pacific time due to network issues. We seem to be mostly up this morning, with the exception of Classic Squidge which only hosts a very small number of websites that depend on a very insecure, outdated version […]

We had some issues overnight, which led to our database server failing. Not sure why it didn’t auto-recover like it should have and we will investigate. Meanwhile, all services are back up (though SquidgeWorld is going through Sunday maintenance as I type this). If after all services are back up you notice anything odd, please […]

Apparently our ISP, Ziply Fiber, is having intermittent outages in the Pacific Northwest. We had a 45 minute downtime earlier, and a 15 minute downtime just now. If you can’t access any Squidge.org services with the exception of FenRecs.com (which is remote hosted) then please wait a bit and then retry. Sorry, but this seems […]

- ISP Downtime
We went down for approximately 45 minutes, apparently due to an ISP issue. Both our fiber lines seemed to be down simultaneously, which meant there was something in the ISP’s switching office that barfed and they had to bring things back up. Nothing within Squidge.org itself went down, but all services except for FenRecs.com seemed […]

- outage explanation
About an hour ago we went down for about 20 minutes, but things should be up and running smoothly now. We had a power issue (electrician is testing some things) so we had to flip the breaker. And while most items are protected via battery backup, one of our systems blurped and didn’t automatically come […]

So one final holiday “gift” that we got was an overnight power outage (and in this case, gift is the German translation which means poison – thank you Grimm for teaching me that!). Power was out from about 2am until just before 6am, and there were a couple of burps that had to be resolved […]

As an FYI, we had a bit of a blup this morning which caused all Squidge.org services to be down for a short while (less than a minute). However, SquidgeWorld Archive did not come back immediately, so we had to perform a hard reset. The server should be back up withing about 20 minutes. If […]

After normal maintenance this morning, SquidgeWorld did not come back up. It’s a problem not with the archive, but with the underlying configuration of the webserver. I think the issue is resolved, and the Archive is slowly coming back. We’ll know soon if we have to bring the archive down again. Hopefully it was just […]

We are finally back up! There was a car accident that took out power at almost 8am Pacific to 1,800 residents and businesses – including us. But after a long, arduous day (it must have been a horrid accident!), we came back at about 4:30pm Pacific. Everything but SquidgeWorld Archive is up at the moment, […]

We lost power for about 2 hours (11:15am Pacific to 1:15pm Pacific) due to a localized traffic accident. We’re good now, but had 2 hours where the systems were up, but the network connectivity went down due to power issues. Everything is back up now.
