DreamHost downtime
You probably didn’t notice, but the machine at DreamHost that holds all of my data (including this blog) went down around 8:00am Pacific time this morning.
The server you’re on (yoda) has suffered a hard drive failure on its
system drive at approximately 8am PST. Services and data are being moved
over to new hardware, and it should be back online in under an hour.
It took them quite a while to bring everything back up, but things seem to be back to normal now. The database actually took quite a while to come back. Between this, a recent mail outage and a recent DoS attack…DreamHost has been having quite a lot of problems lately.

Nice to find some information about that - the status.dreamhost says nothing, and yesterday even THAT page was offline. The server I’m using didn’t have a hardware failure but was incredibly slow so connections would timeout etc.
I really hope there won’t be too many incidents like that in the future.
