Puri.sm Down or Just Me?

Response to sites going offline

I’m curious if there is a status page hosted on separate infrastructure for times when various Purism sites go offline, such as what happened about 16 hours ago. I think a fediverse account should also be used to address these situations by alerting the community and directing people to the status page. Also, I’m curious why it happened this time. Does anyone know for certain what the cause of the downtime was? I can only guess, but I don’t want to speculate in this post.

Reason for last month’s downtime:

@JCS

A financial oversight where a relatively inexpensive hosting invoice was missed, causing an outage, and was resolved once the appropriate staff was able to respond. Purism is a fully-remote company and is lacking some staff/operational continuity policies, which I’m working to improve as bandwidth allows.

Purism uses Digital Ocean for their web hosting provider, which is based in the USA, at least for their main website.
