| == Current events == * A storm is coming over Sweden this weekend, and because the server is currently not in a dedicated datacenter there might be a loss of power. There is a UPS connected to the server, but that might not be enough. So maybe some downtime this weekend. Sorry but I can do nothing about it :( |
