Data server outage 12/18

Added 2023-12-19 03:47:30 +0000 UTC

On December 18th, a major wind storm affected the northeast and did extensive damage to the power grid. As a result, the data server went offline around 10am ET after its UPS battery was depleted. Unfortunately I do not reside on site where the server is located, so I can only coordinate things remotely.

Power has been temporarily restored via backup generator, but the internet infrastructure is also offline due to the wind damage and there is no ETA on when it might be operational again. My guess is it is dependant on power to function, so it will not be operational again until the damage to the power lines is fixed. This is going to probably take at least another 24 hours if not longer.

Once the internet is functional again I will do my best to get the data server fully operational as soon as possible.
