Certain services should be down for a few seconds each day when they update. On occasion, the server might be down for longer because of problems. Known issues are listed below:

2024-11-20

New hardware (raspberry pi 5), which means there should be a lot less downtime now (since it works - but the server's no longer running OpenBSD :(

2024-11-16 to 2024-11-20

Hard drive failure, and some corrupted data causing really big problems.

2024-10-08 to 2024-11-16

Occasional kernel panics (~once a week) but I didn't update this page.

2024-10-07

Update to OpenBSD 7.6! The server encountered 3 seperate kernel panics within the span of about 40 minutes (all with different error messages). I probably need new hardware (it's 16 years old). I also noticed an abnormally large amount of hard drive error messages, that were corrected by the OS, but that are definitely indicative of something being wrong with my hard drive. Unfortuanately, I am both busy and kind of lazy, so I'll deal with it later and hope that's not an extremely stupid thing to do. Also, updates to searxng will be held off for another day or 2, since I'm having issues with the new pydantic dependency, and have other things in life that need doing. Also redlib fails to start after the update, I've changed searxng hostname rewrite for the time being, and will fix when I have time.

Kernel panic.

2024-09-21

Kernel panic. Probably something wrong with my hardware, ran a memory test but it came back clean.

2024-09-20

Another kernel panic! And my keyboard doesn't seem to work in ddb (the kernel debugger), and setting the sysctl ddb.panic=0 doesn't automatically reboot on a panic. According to crash(8), auto-reboot is disabled in a machine dependant way, which isn't very helpful.

2024-09-19

Two issues: first, something went wrong after an automated update to searxng, and it didn't properly restart. And later, another kernel panic occurred.

2024-09-09

Kernel panic took the server down for about 2 hours or something.

2024-08-14

This server couldn't resolve DNS (meaning searxng search queries would fail) for no more than 50 minutes (probably less, but I don't remember exactly). I blame my ISP. I will explain what happened later.

2024-08-08

The server was down for 4 and a half hours.

2024-06-09

The server was down for 4 hours after a full system crash.
