hi guys :) I'm using dismail because my main chat account at draugr.de is down. I checked status and it's unreachable. https://status.conversations.im/ Does someone know how to contact them to give a heads up?

funnypanda: they are down with everything, site included
-
funnypanda
yea I just checked. is that weird?
-
Licaon_Kter
Maybe it's service downtime, server changes....
-
funnypanda
can be. I'll give it time.

Hmm

Link Mauve, ^ XEP for announcing status pages :)
-
MattJ
Clients could cache it, and in the event of connectivity problems, display it
-
Link Mauve
!
-
MattJ
And then we can add it to the compliance checker
-
Link Mauve
Could be an addition to the 0157?
-
MattJ
I wondered that
-
MattJ
Quite possibly

Display what? _server down_? On known server interruptions I guess is courteous that the admin would announce all (or better all-online) about this. But on database RAID server hard drive crash...

MattJ
Licaon_Kter, pretty much every serious service has a status page
-
MattJ
And often with more details than "server down"
-
Licaon_Kter
MattJ: on twitter or mastodon Not on the server that's offline now...

Licaon_Kter, at JabberFR we host a status page on a different server at a different hoster, so we can inform our users about downtime: https://statut.jabberfr.org/

Link Mauve: 👍

MattJ
Licaon_Kter, Twitter or Mastodon is fine
-
Link Mauve
This is currently fully manual though.
-
MattJ
Licaon_Kter, but the server just being down, with no explanation or indication of when (or if) it will be restored is bad
-
Link Mauve
Licaon_Kter, yup, you could link to your Mastodon feed there, it would just be something clients could display automatically to the user in case something is going wrong.
