Sorry that it took so long to get the word out. I guess we relied a bit too much on the xmpp server for internal communication.
You guys have always been excellent. As others have stated, no need to worry.
I'll be giving piefed some love in the meantime π
I also canβt access it physically during the next few weeks and my usual back up that could restart it is not available either.

I am a slrpnk user. Oh well, shit happens. What makes me a bit sad was that a few months (?) ago something similar happened. Slrpnk.net was down for aa day or two? Don't remember the exact amount of time. What I do remember is asking if there was intention of adding a second admin and making the point that it would be good to create that sort of redundancy. I was ignored.

Enjoy your vacation and don't stress too much! Shit happens.
