    Heh, so you use the same host than Lichess, since they were also affected by the fire.

      Seems like a lot of big services got taken down. I wish those OVH admins all the luck in the world, they’re gonna have a stressful few weeks.

      I had learned about both outages and made a joke that it may have been the same fire. I feel somewhat guilty now, lol.

    I noticed most of the images here are broken, I’m assuming this is a result of the fire. I hope everything’s going well on your end.

        Every thumbnail image hosted on lemmy.ml seems to timeout, and post images don’t show up at all.

          Looks like its a bug with our image host pict-rs, and someone uploading a malicious file that crashes it. @IngrownMink4@lemmy.ml . Its unrelated to this server restart.

            Wow, I didn’t expect that. Thanks for clarifying, I was worried! Let’s see if there is luck and you can fix it :crying face::crying face::crying face:

        Hmm, in my case, l don’t get the pictures. I still don’t see them even if I delete the data and cookies from the web browser or refreshing Lemmy :S

    Oof! Glad the backups worked, there only seem to be one or two missing comments from my profile. Compared to the websites that got absolutely decimated by this, that’s pretty good!

    Pictures should be good now. :crossed fingers: Thanks to @asonix@lemmy.ml for fixing so quickly (that was unrelated to this fire).

    I was wondering what had happened, then I read about the OVH fire… I guess it’s a good lesson in being prepared for anything. Glad to see you could get everything back up and running so quick.

    I was about to post it on Mastodon yesterday LOL. I was just a little worried.

    Glad to see it’s nothing more personal.

    It’s never a “fire”, it’s always a “thermal event”

    This may be a silly question, but is there a Twitter account for Lemmy?

      No, but Mastodon: https://mastodon.social/@LemmyDev

    Cheers to everyone involved with restoring lemmy.ml! Can’t imagine waking up to a literal server fire.
