MetaFilter uptime thread #2654334 It's weird, the server has been pretty good lately, only flaking out once every 4-5 days, but for some reason in the past 24 hours it seems to be killing itself every two hours or so, and I'm offline most of this weekend. →[More:]
Since this MetaTalk thread was helpfully closed to new comments immediately after the above was posted, I'll ask here instead: Does one instance of downtime every 4-5 days match your recent experience of MeFi? I'd guess it's been down at least once every couple of days (or more) for the past week. Am I way off?

At least once a day for a few hours since Friday (oz time).

Recently, I'd say once every 3 or 4, so somewhere between your estimate and Matt's.

Maybe when he said "once every 4-5 days" he meant the last 4-5 days?

I just thought that was a really lame Star Wars quote...

I'm not sure I would necessarily equate 'flaking out once every 4-5 days' with 'pretty good.'

i wonder what kind of uptime his tivo has?

I thought the question on Metatalk was artfully and amusingly phrased. I'm only sorry we didn't have a chance to post more Admiral Akbar paraphernalia.

My experience has been an inability to click through from Bloglines practically every first time I open the folder. Fortunately I can bang through the post content via RSS and keep only the ones I'm interested in maybe checking later on the Blue.

Checking MeFi an average of twice a day, I'd say even before this weekend it was out of commish about 40% of the time. Those are short reboot cycles, of course, but I kept hitting them.

I've not been having too much luck at all for the past couple of days. Lots of documents with no data.

I'd say you're way off... it's been down a lot more than that.

Yesterday and today I've hit the dreaded document with no data and various sister errors almost every time I try to load up the site. Ah, well. I suppose my luck is not good.

What, metafilter has been up this week? ;)

posted by dabitch 25 September | 11:38

I've only really noticed it since friday but since then it seems to be down more than it's up. Always doc contains no data which is an error I don't remember seeing anywhere else.

It's driving me crazy. Really batshit insane - my computer's messed up too, so the combination is just. not. good.
