Fark.com status page

This is the status page for Fark's behind-the-scenes geekery. If there's a major outage or problem, we'll try to post something here about it... unless we're too up to our eyeballs in trying to actually fix it... so check here if Fark's hosed for an extended length of time. Normally this page will be blank. :-)

For more minor issues, see Mike's blog, or maybe Drew's Bluesky or that other place.

Our web/db servers are hosted on Vultr, and they have their own status page.
Our images are hosted on Linode, and they have their own status page.
Both are fronted by Cloudflare, and they have their own status page.
Our email servers, and this outage page, are hosted at Amazon AWS in case of problems with the other hosting companies.

Previous issues:

Mon Mar 25 14:56:57 EDT 2024: Working on the obvious performance problems. The spinup of new web servers was failing; that's fixed now, so once we get more servers online, things should sort out.
UPDATE: had to roll back to an older database library version; that's what was causing the spinup problems and that's what was causing us to need to do spinups in the first place



Live basic health check:
(very basic and not always reliable; we have a better one internally)

It's probably time I updated this picture from June 2008.
