So people in this thread have talked recently about their offline servers being put back online... can that happen without Virmach?
Does a storage server just come back online by itself?
We can't say since we don't know why they went offline. If it was a networking / power issue on the data center side then possibly. It's also possible ( if unlikely ) that a host simply rebooted itself and spent several days fsck'ing a file-system before coming back online. That said, the more likely is that Virmach's out there somewhere ....

Futile...
🤡 "We can confirm that this is not an issue with any servers, network, or power equipment on our end." 🤡 "We have temporarily paused controls for this service as we are performing maintenance on the server." 🤡 "The servers are working, they are just not connected to the internet!" 🤡

Stardate 1302.8, San Francisco.
Just as we're ready to shut the doors of yoursunny summer host sales office and spend the weekend with my snake collection, a customer rushed in.
The customer shouted hurriedly: my storage server in Atlanta teeters at the edge, ping is unreachable, all my family memories are gone, can you help?
We opened our sleepy eyes, downed a bottle of Red Bull, and immediately started helping this customer.
We sent a robot to the garden where her storage server was located, and provisioned a new storage server in our Atlantis location.
Within seconds, the robot found the original server and plugged into its USB port, and her precious data were being cloned to our infrastructure.
At the same time, we were busy engraving a golden key card that contains a private key to decrypt the data.
15 minutes later, data restoration was complete, and we opened up the portal room.
The customer swiped the card, a colorful cloud appeared on the portal.
Inside, there's a faint wall of text:
MOAR MOAR MOAR MOAR MOAR
She hesitated for a moment, muttered a few words like "YABS" and "routed /64", and then walked into the portal.
As the cloud settled, she had been teleported to a dedicated black hole, and would live with her loving family for an eternity.
We checked the accounting record, and saw her remain assets in this world consolidated to our company account.
After all, once she entered the black hole, there's no way out, so she wouldn't need those assets anymore.

Maybe a cat in the datacenter was playing with a cable and something happened.

if the uptime is not reset, then it could be network related, which then can happen
I bench YABS 24/7/365 unless it's a leap year.
Damn it, even deleting expired VPS instances is throwing errors.
Let's see what happens. Maybe I should open a ticket in a few days?
