Per post from Pelican

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE! - Our hosting company had a catastophic hardware failure that was related to their network, and the forum itself was unaffected. Thank you for understanding, and welcome back to the Pelican Parts Forum!

This site can probably run on a AWS t2.micro (free), and at the same time reap the benefits that AWS is ridiculously redundant things rarely go down, if ever for the IaaS side of it.

AWS and/or Azure, is the place to be

As I always say, lessons learned, now don't let it happen again.

I'm guess a front end load balancer or the firewall hardware. Evidently no redundancy, or a huge power surge blew everything.

I didn't care for it one bit.

I checked out all the pics in this link Zeke posted. https://boxerrebellion66.tumblr.com/page/33

Watched some Batdad on YouTube.

Did some laundry.

It was definitely a reset, for me. Like teleporting to the middle of the desert.

I did get by with the help of a day watching Jay Leno's Garage on YouTube.

I wrote a book, read 3 other books, knitted a sweater and built a 2 room addition on a house. I'm tired now and ready to go back to my usual slacking where I couldn't possibly get any of that done.
