Hey!

Unfortunately, Hetzner (our hosting provider) is currently experiencing some network issues. They are planning to address this with an emergency maintenance in roughly 13 hours from now, which will cause lemm.ee downtime. Hopefully we’ll be fully recovered later tomorrow!

UPDATE: Sorry for the false alarm, I was on the move when I posted this and missed the fact that the Hetzner notice was actually for next month! So it’s not as imminent as I originally understood. As we have a whole month to prepare, I will probably be able to come up with some alternative solution to prevent the downtime while they are conducting this maintenance.

    Noticed some things haven’t been loading today. This provides the answer. Thank you for the communication!

    What kind of web hosting service needs to entirely shut down to do maintenance? Surely they could do a gradual rollout once they’d found a solution to the issue

      Hetzner do have their downsides. But the prices are unbeatable! I just wish that the customer service people be a bit more humane

      Usually you don’t need to shut it all down. But some customers might only pay for a VPS, they don’t pay for redundant nodes in other DCs and so on. So if you have to upgrade a rack switch pair you just kinda have to deal with a few minutes of downtime

        True a few minutes for one host but the way it was phrased sounds like the entire thing is going down for aa significant period of time
