Disroot Health Status (down since Oct 26th)

I first noticed when I couldn't update an AUR package that pointed to their Forgejo instance. It turns out there was a multi-disk failure that has caused corruption of some kind.

Truly a rough position to be in. There are times when dumping other responsibilities in a crisis is trivial but I have also found myself overly concerned with trivial matters as a way of exerting control over something.

On the tech side of thing I can't imagine offering services to people without well-tested offsite backups and a bus factor of >1. I respect what they are trying to do and hopefully they can find a more resilient way of operating in the future.
