Title: In regards to the website being down (Or what DPR is REALLY doing here)
Post by: Obnubilate on April 20, 2013, 06:06 am
DPR is merely doing some upgrades on the way he powers his servers. He's currently replace this:
This is the plug that power's DPR's Silk Road server: http://lolspots.opti.netdna-cdn.com/content.tiptoplolz/585558101474113.jpg
With something more..... useable, and upgrading from Dial up to ISDN speeds.

Good on you, DPR

Hopefully he remembers to issue *67 before dialing in, otherwise we're all fucked.  ;)

anybody know how much longer until the maintenance is done? :o

I just waited 4 days for a vendor to process my order, and when I finally could cancel it SR goes down for maintenance  :-\

Seriously, folks...  Someone needs to start working on a backup SR system that runs through a cloud network of encrypted ham radio transmissions.

wtf? Pleb. I've been using master race-tier fart fumes and colliding Asian urine mist to create a back-up SR system

Get on my level

On a serious note, damn I hope it gets up again soon... In the same boat as some other people here, got some orders to complete

I actually was thinking about building the backup network on pigeons. The advantage is that they both provide communication (with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_over_Avian_Carriers protocol) and you can also use them to carry packages to the customers.

We can probably also develop some "pigeon mixer" so that no pigeon ever knows both endpoints of its package.
