serenity's still down

My mail / web server went down I think saturday. It's been rebooted, it didn't come back up. Getting to it to fix it is going to suck. Not having my server is depressing, not to mention rather inconvenient.

Update: Access is now far less inconvenient than I thought, will be heading over at 6pm.

serenity is fine

There are two switches on the back, one labeled |/O (power), which works, and one labeled "sft pwr", which is presumably supposed to function like a reset button, but instead just puts the thing in a useless state - even through limitless powercycling.

The noc monkeys used the wrong switch. Once I realized this, I hit that switch again and it came up fine.

I'm currently rebuilding the kernel while I'm here, so I have plenty of opportunity to break it. Also, my mail server software isn't running till I'm done with the kernel because spam filters were competing for cpu cycles too much.


The roads in this town are bad. Evil. Actively malicious. Hate. WTF was that shit ? I'm currently in Charlestown, and I went through the worst rotary ever at least 4 times because of course none of the roads are labeled.

Update: Kernel's upgraded, I'm home, all's good. Ride home was less traumatic.
