Announcing status.packmates.org and status.yiffit.net

Heya everyone!
I've been mostly silent for some time, but it's all with good reason (I promise!)

Over the last few days I've spent a lot of time on server maintenance. Many of these changes will be invisible to you as users (such as getting a /48 ipv6 range, setting up SLAAC/DHCPv6, reviewing security and firewall rules, etc...)

But today I set up something that I can share: status pages!

Head over to:
- https://status.packmates.org
- https://status.yiffit.net

(they're the same page actually, but the different domain is to make it easier to remember if you're a user of one site and not the other).

There's a slight caveat in that the status page is hosted on the hypervisor itself, so if that goes down, everything goes down but you'll at least know by not being able to load the status page itself!

Ideally I would host this somewhere external but we're not there yet. One day I hope to even have a server cluster for redundancy, but we'd have to host many more services to be able to justify this.

Thank you. I think this applies to admins too. When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.
Nifty! and even if it's not visible, I for one definitely appreciate the effort in keeping things running nicely!

or, like me, do that overkill infra as a hobby ^^'
- @LittleFox I am officially your fan now, then. Because I would like to do overkill stuff as a hobby as well.
