    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?

  2. Licaon_Kter

    funnypanda: they are down with everything, site included

  3. funnypanda

    yea I just checked. is that weird?

  4. Licaon_Kter

    Maybe it's service downtime, server changes....

  5. funnypanda

    can be. I'll give it time.

  6. MattJ

    Hmm

  7. MattJ

    Link Mauve, ^ XEP for announcing status pages :)

  8. MattJ

    Clients could cache it, and in the event of connectivity problems, display it

  9. Link Mauve

    !

  10. MattJ

    And then we can add it to the compliance checker

  11. Link Mauve

    Could be an addition to the 0157?

  12. MattJ

    I wondered that

  13. MattJ

    Quite possibly

  14. Licaon_Kter

    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...

  15. MattJ

    Licaon_Kter, pretty much every serious service has a status page

  16. MattJ

    And often with more details than "server down"

  17. Licaon_Kter

    MattJ: on twitter or mastodon Not on the server that's offline now...

  18. Link Mauve

    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/

  19. Licaon_Kter

    Link Mauve: 👍

  20. MattJ

    Licaon_Kter, Twitter or Mastodon is fine

  21. Link Mauve

    This is currently fully manual though.

  22. MattJ

    Licaon_Kter, but the server just being down, with no explanation or indication of when (or if) it will be restored is bad

  23. 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.

  24. Licaon_Kter

    funnypanda: it's back, any news on wtf?
