@p I think that is probably the way to go. New box is expensive and will not be ready for a while (read: a couple of paychecks from now, probably longer than it would take to kick Revolver out the door). Keeping this machine running is exhausting and untenable. Additionally, I swore repeatedly that I would not hand FSE off to someone so getting someone else and even if I hadn't promised, that I will not hand it off. For the trouble of a move to new infra, it'd be better to just move the data to Revolver.

I understand that this sucks for people using FSE. My apologies. I think the best way to bring FSE back online is to replace it with the thing that can't be killed, and restore functionality as quickly as possible. If you used FSE and have words/thoughts/suggestions, feel free to let me know (if you have a different username wherever you are now, please mention your username on FSE; I am tired and distracted and may not be able to tell).

I think the best course of action at present is finishing the thing that solves this problem permanently, so that's what I'm going to do unless I hear a better idea from someone with a stake in it. I've got an obligation and I will do my damnedest: the point of FSE was to provide a place for you, I said I would, and it evaporated. So if there's anything I can do (e.g., your follower/block lists for wherever you are staying right now, or just a ping so I know where to let you know when it's back up and running), or if you have any ideas or concerns about how I'm rebuilding the place, or if you want help setting up your own instance, whatever the case, just let me know.

If you had a VM on that box and you want the data out, let me know over DMs and we'll figure something out.

As much as I appreciate :moon: letting me crash on his couch while my house is on fire, so as to avoid putting him out, I might hop to a temporary single-user something or another. The drama club blew through last time I was here and I don't want to shit this place up telling them to fuck off or waste my own time dealing with them, but I also don't want to miss messages from actual people. Maybe I'll just be on IRC more and refuse to talk about anything here besides FSE/Revolver.
