First of all, I love you, slrpnk admins. You handled it all like champions! Happy to have you back.

Someone said in one one of the matrix chats during the outage that the fact that this instance is selfhosted and went down is like true experience of a solarpunk world; there won't always be power and that's okay!

Just wanted to write it down in a post since that message was so spot on.

Totally agree - there's something authentic about accepting occasional downtime as part of the self-hosted journey, plus it encourages redudancy planning like those portable LFP power stations you can compare on gearscouts.com which fit perfectly with solarpunk ideals of energy independence.
