Extended downtime next Tuesday, December 13th
Our hosting provider, ServerBeach, will be performing some maintenance on our servers next week. They're going to be unplugging and carrying them across the data center and reinstalling them in a new location. They're doing some reorganization and our rack is one of the ones affected.
The main impact from this is that Dreamwidth will be hard down (no response at all and no maintenance page) from 9AM to 11AM PST (1700 to 1900 UTC) on Tuesday, December 13th. There is a secondary impact in that when we come back up, none of our caches will be warm. The site will be slow for some period of time after it comes back -- up to several hours.
I will post again when we get closer to the outage. As always, we will update our @dreamwidth Twitter account as this happens.
