Recent outage triggered withdrawals

Always two, there must be: the BOFH and the PFY.

Has someone forgotten to pay their enterprise English language keyboard licence?

Thanks for. Getting the site back

 

[SouthernSharktoothDiver]

Yeah....I'm definitely not proud of how often I tried to load this site to see if it was working yet. Like, I might actually have a problem lol.

I bought 3 used regs as part of my withdrawal symptoms— I think I need to join regaholics anon

Welcome back all, been truly missed

I accidentally electrocuted the last PFY

So glad it’s back up. Years ago, a hobby of mine related board went down and the operators were unable to restore the decades of posts it contained.

The loss of this information/drama/bantering was staggering; it became clear how to this date the loss of the Alexandrian Library is still discussed because of the loss of human knowledge and records contained therein.

So yes, very grateful the site is back up with data intact.

I would have done that too but since I buy all my gear on Scubaboard classifieds, I couldn't engage in retail therapy.

I accidentally electrocuted the last PFY

Last time I had a server room, the subcontractor that put it together installed the shiny! copper grounding bars in the front of the racks. Where not only they were blocking the bottom U, but more importantly: the kit does not usually have grounding posts on the front.

The heartless need no grounding.

Blame me. It was my fault.
Reason: forgetting to read my email in time.

Thanks for getting this sorted!

I don't know 100% the outage is the reason, but it looks like TOTP-based multifactor authentication is not working at this point. My code didn't work to log in, though fortunately the backup codes did. Removing and trying to re-add MFA also did not work, I got an error about the code being invalid during setup, which leads me to believe there might be a clock out of sync somewhere and the TOTP code generated by my application doesn't match what the server's version is. Could be something else, of course, depending on the setup.

Fortunately passkeys do work, so I can still keep a secondary factor enabled, but perhaps worth sorting the code MFA out (or removing it).
