ragmanragman@jawns.clubJul 31, 2026, 5:50 PMAn annecdote about this:
A week ago, my personal site went down for the first time in over two years.
My hosting provider Vultr restarted all their VPSs due to a Linux vulnerability, and I forgot to enable my systemd daemon to restart on boot.
I was camping without cell service at the time, so the site was down for a full day and a half, say 36 hours.
Some back of the envelope math puts that at ~99.8% uptime over the life of the website.
Cassandrichdalias@hachyderm.ioAug 4, 2026, 1:26 AM@patterfloof @4censord I literally have more nines of "connection uptime to EFnet since the turn of the millennium" than GitHub has "availability of service".
Jul 31, 2026, 8:03 PM@4censord It’s one thing to fall short of 5 9s. It’s another thing to fall short of 5 8s.
