So, as in my experience, and male trolley dolly equivalents set off my gaydar, is Dr Gollum trying to tell us something....?

Forward warning that OOF may be unavailable over the next few days.

With the predicted extreme hot weather coming over the next few days we may have to temporarily turn off the physical servers that run OOF, which will result in OOF being completely unavailable.


We use standard (UK spec, not adverse conditions) HPE servers that will automatically shut down once the ambient temperature reaches 41C to protect itself.  To protect data integrity, we always proactively monitor this temperature and gracefully shut down the servers once the ambient is in the high 30s, as we have already had to do to one of the servers a few times in the last week already (normally we run with resilience, so nobody has noticed this yet). 


Given the outdoor temperatures are predicted to reach up to 40C over the next week in the southern part of the UK, its highly likely we will be in this situation.  With the servers powered down, OOF simply won't respond - you will see timeout errors or Page Not Responding errors.

In addition, once the temperatures drop sufficiently to power the servers back on, we will only do so if we believe we can keep them on for at least 12-16 hours, due to the way our distributed storage system has to resync all the data.


We also have a 10Gb switch in the path between these servers and the Internet, which has been alerting high temperature alarms, but hasn't shut itself down or misbehaved as of yet...



As always, we apologise for the inconvenience it causes, but also know that the majority of our users are in Western Europe, and will be similarly suffering, and not doing anything major to their cars!

Stay safe, and remember to keep an eye out for elderly relatives during this time.

Having a few temp issues here, one server is already off due to heat, and the switch that the other one is hanging off is alerting that it cant blow enough air to keep it cool.

So if the site appears offline for a bit, that'll be why

Got a slight rattle from the front of the big pussy, suspect its something on the aux belt.  Ordered a new belt as a matter of course, as I may as well replace it if I have to remove the old one.

So as thats now arrived, printed off the destructions for replacing the belt, and its 17 bloody pages FFS  >:(

I don't think my trimmer has enough magic smoke left in it.

My 5S battery had a failed cell, so I tried an old 6S I had.  The best its every run for about 30s, when it all went wrong ;D

Whats the name of the pointy bit that screws on the end of a mastik/sealant/no-more-nails etc cartridge.

I need to buy a few, but don't know what to search for, and "pointy thingie" isn't really going to anywhere useful ;D
