Hello, everyone!
Due to me fiddling around with Cloudflare and accidently applying wrong settings during one of my sleepless nights (I was tired again ๐ ), we weren't reachable for most people for a couple hours.
Since it was a DNS settings problem, it took some time to propagate and therefore it took some time for me to notice. I took my changes back for now and now it'll take some time for that to propagate, as well.
I'm really sorry, ~~it'll not happen again~~ it might happen again, but I'll do my best to prevent things like that in the future. I just want a stable experience for everyone!
Thank you very much for your kind words.
The thing is that I'm a trained sysadmin and even I do make mistakes. This (Lemmy instance) is a hobby of mine and I plan to put something up that's here to stay, however, a hobby needs time. Right now, in order to devote time for my hobbies, I usually go into what I call "sleep debt", which means I usually do stuff at night.
I will implement a status monitor for this instance (and what belongs to it) later today and I'll also need to find someone else in a different timezone who I can trust with actual server (shell) access in order to fix stuff that might arise when I'm asleep.
