Well that sucks: looks like the server I set up yesterday for the Kitten distribution site just got reset. Hetzner had a note on about a fault with new server creations a few minutes ago. Darn it.

Guess thatโ€™s me recreating the server from scratch again.

Well, itโ€™s practice I guess but this is the first time Iโ€™ve seen a fault of this severity on Hetzner.

oh that sucks. We host many services with Hetzner but never happened to us. We do daily backups to a remote location so we can restore everything but it would suck to have to. At times you forget that these things can hapen

@javielico It almost feels like the wrong storage object was attached initially or something. And yeah, quite major.

@serapath @dat_ecosystem Ah right, yes, I was actually excited about Dat several years ago when it was a community project and based some of my early experiments on it (specifically on hypercore, etc.) It made me realise that we donโ€™t need a replicated datatype at the core of a decentralised system. We need a topologically decentralised system and then, if we want, we can use something like that for certain things. But ever since the Tether deal, itโ€™s not for me, sorry. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tether_(โ€ฆ

@dat_ecosystem

dat ecosystem has nothing to do with tether though. There are ~20 projects building on top of dat at the moment and holepunch is just one of them. Every project maintains some of the dat stack modules. It is all open source and we monitor it and it can all be forked any time.

People are working on a rust implementatjin as well wholich is not on par, but kinda here here.

We are happy to see that the holepunch company os giving back by maintaining and contributing to dat
