So the shitty vps provider I used is closing down, nice Guess I'll be having to migrate my followers later today, export my data (there's a few things I wanna save) and then close down this instance.

@parker @PhenomX6 they were an upstream for a lot of hosts. the domino effect of dedipath is going to be rather large 🦣their site doesn't even load anymore btw

@parker @PhenomX6 our dc guy called this coming in July but even he was shocked how fast it happened. apparently they sent the email out to customers then sent another one out firing all their staff

@graf @PhenomX6 Well at least there could be a silver lining if a bunch of liquidated equipment hits the market.

@parker @PhenomX6 no I and many others think they were leasing a lot of their equipment. that's why the short notice closure because they couldn't make bills for the month (or several)

@graf @PhenomX6 Well that's unfortunate, I'll just keep refreshing the Calgary Computer Wholesale page then.

@bot @PhenomX6 @graf If Amazon, Google, Intel, etc., went down, the entire country would stop. So it's normal for large industries where economy of scale matters.

@parker @PhenomX6 @bot many companies rent hardware, or in this case colocated their owned hardware in a datacenter dedipath was leasing space in. when dedipaths lease is up or canceled they have to move hardware because dedipath is no longer a customer of the datacenter. most of the datacenters are working with people to move their hardware but the whole situation is sketchy tbh

@bot @PhenomX6 @graf @Kirino Just in time. So you make/order stuff only as it's purchased, rather than keep stock in a warehouse. Increased profit margins in exchange for being more fragile (e.g., collapse of supply chains following lockdowns).

hmmm, so if I’m understanding right… it’s like if I made a choccu milkshake every time I wanted one instead of making a batch and tapping into that whenever I’m thirsty? :\But then one day I might find out I don’t have the ingredients left to make a new choccu milkshake :O

@bot @PhenomX6 @graf @Kirino It was only an aside, but your original question was relating to fragile business practices (e.g., if one thing goes down, everything goes down).

@Kirino @parker @graf @bot that's how the supply chain crisis earlier happened

@parker yep :(I'm gonna end up not reviving this instance (the hardware was dogshit for it and I want to host at home a multi user instance with a new domain)

@PhenomX6 Yeah, I'm gonna nuke leafposter in about 5 months, and make a ditto instance that's less of a dumpster fire.
