Hey gang, that was the second UPS-related outage in a month. I hear you, universe. I hear you.

The replacement is ordered and on the way.

@tek @szakib Could you please start noting at least the date to the announcements that appear in "Home" feed (behind "Show announcements" widget)?

@ax6761 @szakib That’s not a bad idea, but I’m not clear what advantage that would have. We have a status page up automatically during outages, so adding extra information after the fact doesn’t seem super helpful.

Do you think it would be?

@tek @szakib Right now the first “announcement” is about the upgrade of Mastodon software to v4.3.3.

When the f.z server came back, I was thinking perhaps the outage was due to the upgrade. Later saw your OT about the UPS issue. So that undated software upgrade was not involved.

While the server was down, it took some time before being presented with the status link. And whenever I checked the status, the orange & red bars were in the past for me while f.z still being unavailable.

@tek @szakib To be clear I was only talking about the announcements under “Show announcements” widget, whenever they would be published in future.

@ax6761 @szakib Oh, I see what you mean.

Ugh, this is an annoying Mastodon misfeature. You can't mark an announcement as having a start date without an end date on which the announcement's unpublished. It doesn't show the date unless you have a start date set. The only option is it to embed the dates as text in the announcement, but then it looked different than any other date on the site. Grrr.
