We're like to extend our most sincere apologies for today's downtime, explain the issue, and talk about what we'll be doing going forward.
Late last night or early this morning, an owl entered the server room and, unsurprisingly, pissed on everything. We had to drag them out of a corner where they'd started building a nest out of CAT5 cables. After checking with all our keyholders, we determined that they had not tricked someone into lending them the keys this time, and nobody had left a window open. We have not found their entry point yet, but we suspect we are getting closer (we've found a large pile of shit near one of the vents).
We managed to dry one server off and get the website running again, but unfortunately we only have 1 hair dryer and will need a few more days to dry the rest of the servers and get the site fully operational.
Going forward, our plan is:
- Cover outside AC vents and similar in chicken wire
- assess and reinforce weak points in the building's structure
- tape old CDs to the building to reflect the sun and scare them away
- attack roosting spikes to the server racks
- stop keeping open, uncovered cans of beans at our desks
We are also looking into hiring a falconer as a more active deterrent.
Thank you for your patience in such a difficult time.
Ask yourself, is it really about being against wrecking? Or is it desperately trying to find another stranger emotionally labile enough to feel shamed by a bunch of random people who've decided to brand themselves as "the chapo subreddit in exile"? At this point I think the objective it to act like you don't understand what I'm saying. You certainly don't have anything to say to me other than "isn't it weird that you noticed?" - no, it isn't weird. It would be weird to pretend not to notice how people use this website. Lemmy votes are public when viewed off instance fun fact. Figured out what's going on here years ago. I send letters because I care. I think there's some part of you losers that still wants to grow. So don't get all depressed, make big moves. Don't go with the default option and just stay in America and speculate about moving to the Netherlands. Everyone does that. It's so annoying.
Whenever anyone in my life finds out I'm going to Vietnam, do you know what they say to me? Not "oh that's so cool, omg you're going to see so much cool shit" they ask "huh?? why??" and I say "WHAT WAS THE QUESTION? THIS WALKWAY IS TOO CLOSE TO THE HIGHWAY FOR THE ROARING TO DIMINISH I DIDN'T CATCH THAT"
