[2018-03-11] Post-maintenance problems resolved

BLF Site-related Issues
1

Hi everyone,

My sincere apologies for what was essentially 24 hours of downtime. I think we’re back up now and running at normal speed again.

To make a long story short, our server provider scheduled a brief maintenance window about 24 hours ago, which unfortunately coincided with me being out of town and away from a reliable internet connection. I had carefully tested the server before leaving to make sure it would come up reliably after getting automatically rebooted. It did come up, but something (I haven’t yet determined the root cause) made system load spiral out of control, and it got automatically throttled by the server provider, making it even slower.

Again, I’m very sorry for the unfortunate timing of all of these events. I’ll be looking at ways to prevent this from happening again.

Didn't realize how much I'd miss BLF until I could not get access. Glad she's up and running again

Nice to see it running smooth again! The downtime even forced me to do a boring led test last night that I was certainly planning to postpone for a while if the site was running normally. (Optisolis leds, report later today)
