    This would be the business location according to C1V website and company listings in Italy. It is hard to imagine that block having a basement with servers. Maybe the servers are at the top and connection drops whenever it rains.

    At that location surely exists some secret top of the line Tier 3 datacenter. Disregard the clothing on the balconies, these are not apartments as they seem, but actually these are specially crafted microfibre textiles used as filters in datacenter. Disregard the sport club too, that is actually used by hundreds of employees to relax after work in datacenter. Disregard the other blocks, as these are not populated with servers yet, even though filters are waiting to be used as one can easily notice.

    You have to go down that "europaradise" sign and then at the right, there's a bar a gym and then a few garages and that's where the DC is.

    I've taken pics and vids but got no hosting to put them on rn so just take my word for it i guess

  • Guuuuuuuuuuuuuys guess what?
    You will never guess!

    Maintenance to power infrastructure.
    On top of that it's routine maintenance scheduled to start TODAY at 15:00 while e-mail was sent 13:30.
    You know, routine maintenance with 1.5h info in advance.
    Also this routine maintenance is for specifically installing a new UPS to replace UPS2 and upgrading the electrical panel.

    Do you think the AI knows what routine means?

    In defense of C1V: the "upgrading electrical panel" and "installing new UPS" have happened so many times the last half year that you can say it's "routine".

    [Damn, am I sarcastic again?]

  • edited August 3

    Aaaaaaaaaand everything is down again...

    In reply to the "routine" remark: it's also almost always so that if Luca/AI says "no downtime is expected" that you'll get downtime. That's also part of the routine.

    Downtime: 1 hr
    

    Although we do not expect any downtime for all redundant servers, if you have a server with a single power source you may experience a reboot.

    Quick, someone tell AI that reboot does not last one hour.

  • The most eco-friendly idling experience I've ever had. Goes down a few hours or days every now and then to save energy 🍃

    Eco-Addon usually 25eur! You get it for free as a special gift :)

    Climate protesters and are proud of you 👏 😆

  • At this point I believe the guy has a subscription for a new UPS every week. The business is a huge success, as it keeps burning these UPS devices. The Eco-Addon is highly important to recycle all the used UPS.

    Nothing says eco friendly then shutting down the server to save power!

    Maybe he should sell cold storage for backups, instead of VPS. Cold storage would save way more power as it would start just when needed.

    Maybe he should just close down this business. That would be the most eco friendly thing he can do.

    Its bio degradable and is beneficial for the environment, which is the literal definition of "eco friendly".

    The fun part is that my VPS wasn't down, just unreachable. So basically, when the cause is mismanagement, lack of knowledge, Tier 0 datacenter, mom using the hover, power - something critical in the infrastructure is not on redundant power... didn't expect that (sarcasm).

    Ofcourse communication about this 1+ hour downtime is as professional and prompt as expected from a child with a garage as datacenter: non-existent.

    Did you just assume clowns are often invited within a secured facility to entertain the workers managing the servers?

  • Was already surprised that I didn't encounter downtime on Wednesday, but C1V didn't disappoint. Within a couple of days (i.e. today) again over 1 hour of downtime and a rebooted VPS...

    Hey, I got only 15 minutes of downtime today!
