Hello, your ~~matrix server overlord~~ friendly server admin here.

I'm making some... enhancements to my setup¸ and in the process of doing that, there will be some downtime for all services I run, including the GenZedong matrix server. I've prepared everything beforehand and I'm prioritizing the matrix instance, so it should be one of the first things back up, hopefully today, but it could take longer, so don't worry if you can't access it. It will be back soon :3

Once this is done, the uptime and general reliability of my services should be much improved, and I'll have significantly more capacity to host more services. I will also be instituting monthly maintenance windows, but that's not fully planned yet so more on that later.

I'll edit this post with updates as I go through the process.

Update 1: Most servers have been moved over to my new server rack with brand new OS installs and backups restored. There were some hiccups with outdated SPI bootloaders and slow copying times, which is why it took so long. The next step is to get all the software back up and running. Most of this process is automated. I just need to get the infrastructure in place for the automation to take over. Should be done soon, possibly tomorrow as it's getting late where I am.

Update 2: A system update corrupted the bootloader on three of my Raspberry Pi 4s. They have now been reflashed and are working again. I am now working on reconfiguring the software.

Update 3: GZD Matrix should be back up now, working on other services

Update 4: Trixie is now back up, so accounts can be registered again on the GZD matrix.
