Not a single one of my servers have seen any impact anywhere in the EU. Clickbait
My homeserver didn't even see any impact Uptime: 162 days 14:10:36
Though I guess that's a good thing :P
The end is nigh
The interesting part, would be, if they didn't drop Spain and Portugal from the grid.
Might be a much bigger outage otherwise.
It's just EU testing energy independence from Russia.
And there's the rusophile 😅
I remember the blackout in 2003 that affected the Northeastern US and Canada. I was in downtown Toronto trying to get to my lawyers office on the 24th floor of an office tower on University Ave.
It was wild driving back home on the highway that night and (not) seeing the normally lit up skyline of Toronto almost completely dark.
As it turns out it was caused by a software bug (feature) in an alarm system for the power grid.
That's serious. A few months ago here in Ecuador, we endured power cuts of up to 16 hours a day for 2 or 3 months, if I remember correctly, until the situation stabilized. You couldn’t even work unless you had generators.
digital realty MAD1 went offline aswell few minutes ago. but gens and upss kept everything up for several hours at least
They weren't able to refuel gens in time?
dont know yet. i'm waiting feedback from them.
The dc in the rioja region and the one in catalonia region where I got servers are still up. Seen a small network glitch on rioja dc reported a few minutes ago but maybe that was the monitor not the network.
Anyway, servers are just servers and by that not that important, hope everyone is ok, not stuck somewhere and that it is not to hot in Spain today.
Hmm interesting, Internet still up fully?
At least I can ping both servers for all the time since the outage in Spain started (me being elsewhere in Europe that is not affected).
Again, maybe some backbone lines will go down as well, had this less than one minute outage report on network a few minutes ago but that was just one monitor while other monitors still reached the server.
Except for the fact that everything that's important runs on them
i got feedback and clarification from Digital Realty now.
MAD1: Next Update: 28/Apr/2025 18:00 CET
The engineering team at ES-MAD1, Calle de Albasanz 71 reports that there has been an Interconnection issue resulting in interruption of Cloud Connect and Service Fabric services. The IP engineering team is investigating the source of the issue and further updates will be provided as additional information becomes available.
I'm too old so that I still remember the pre-internet-times. Good old times.
The power went out here in the Malaga area around 12:15 and was restored about 10 minutes ago.
sorry guys it was me, my xbox series s used so much power it burned out the grid
We also had an outage at DR MAD3 for about 5 minutes.
Someone activated Skynet
What's the update now @MikePT ?
Because EU has spineless leaders who don't care about their own population. They're too damn corrupted.
But what was is the reason of this widespread outage affecting multiple countires ?
Power grids being interconnected across countries and one going down affecting the connected grids as well.
This is where 3rd world countries like us shine! We don't care about outage because it is our daily occurrence.
Not having outage in the whole day is something that will make me surprise.
Remeber RO in the late 80’s and early 90’s
Ha ha ha , lol , it was the same
About 2 hours have passed since the last post, and there were issues with the Vodafone network, but it seems to be restored now. Chinese shops had a good turnover today, and hardware stores made good sales from generators. Traffic was absolute chaos — once again showing that the locals can't handle traffic...
Neighbor works at the local ayuntamiento, and they are prepared for the possibility that the outage might continue during the night. Time to stock up on beer...
This is why I tell people to fuck off when they say "lol Texas isn't even part of the national power grid!" Because fuck centralization and fuck people who call a strength a weakness
just the facts.. no philes or phobia.
