I can hear the smug grins on homelabber's/self-hoster's faces from here.

Oh look, fediverse is still working.
You can share in the smug grin

Not like their systems never have downtime.

[–] renegadespork@lemmy.jelliefrontier.net 5 points 2 days ago

lol yeah I definitely have more downtime than AWS.

The main differences are:

  1. I usually control when that downtime is.
  2. I can inform literally every single person that uses it exactly what is down, why, and approximately for how long.

They'd type up a really angry reply, but they need to fix a their router config real quick

[–] towerful@programming.dev 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Um, akshually it's a DNS issue not a router issue.
I think.
It looks like a router issue. But it's always a DNS issue

The difference is I can do something about my downtime and fix it.
