[Hetzner maintenance] Expected lemm.ee downtime when this post is 13 hours old. (lemm.ee)

Hey!

Unfortunately, Hetzner (our hosting provider) is currently experiencing some network issues. They are planning to address this with an emergency maintenance in roughly 13 hours from now, which will cause lemm.ee downtime. Hopefully we'll be fully recovered later tomorrow!

UPDATE: Sorry for the false alarm, I was on the move when I posted this and missed the fact that the Hetzner notice was actually for next month! So it's not as imminent as I originally understood. As we have a whole month to prepare, I will probably be able to come up with some alternative solution to prevent the downtime while they are conducting this maintenance.

Usually you don't need to shut it all down. But some customers might only pay for a VPS, they don't pay for redundant nodes in other DCs and so on. So if you have to upgrade a rack switch pair you just kinda have to deal with a few minutes of downtime

True a few minutes for one host but the way it was phrased sounds like the entire thing is going down for aa significant period of time
