Server going down again. Sorry for the short notice. ~arielmt

We have to take the server down again. We'll do that at 1530 UTC (45 minutes from now), and we'll bring it back up at 1600 UTC (a half hour later). Thanks for your patience.

The images issue has been temporarily fixed, but there's still a lot of work left for making it permanently fixed. Our storage issue has gone from "stuff is breaking" to "kind of cramped."

There's nothing to be done for it except keep using this instance normally and please have patience if anything breaks again in the next few days.

Also, thank you all for your patience. :heart_cyber:

We apologize for how turbulent the maintenance is and will be. Please observe that the fasten seat belts and no releasing the magic smoke signs have been lit, and thank you for flying computer fairies!

Hi everybody! First of all sorry about the recent issues with Computer Fairies and downtime. It turns out, we have some issues with our storage that will take a few days to sort out. Until then, we're bringing the instance back online, which will still show some issues but you should be able to make and read text posts.

I need to stop the ComputerFairi.es instance for a few minutes, in order to fix the images not loading problem that developed recently. It'll be back as soon as that's done.

Folks, I'm really sorry. Computer Fairies went down because I made a stupid mistake. I gave the site host a CC to hold & draw payment from, but it expired last month, and I forgot to give them a new CC until today. Again, I'm really sorry about the downtime.

We are now up and running on v3.4.1+glitch

Thank you for your patience, fairies.

Computer Fairies is shutting down now for upgrades. We'll be back shortly. :computerfairies:~arielmt

I rebooted the server just a few minutes ago. Sorry for the unscheduled downtime, fairies.

Facebook's upcoming invasion of the fediverse is not welcome at ComputerFairi.es. I have just preemptively suspended Threads.net.
