Is there any chance these power failures have something to do with the solar storms we are experiencing right now?

  They have subsided. Note the K-index on this page: http://spaceweather.com http://spaceweather.com

This is what, the 3rd? 4th? power outage in that facility in the last year? I realize that it's not directly Linode's fault, since this is Hurricane Electric's facility that they lease from, but its still pretty frustrating. I have a personal VPS there which I use to do an hourly data grab, so I missed a few this morning. This is just a personal pet project so no huge deal, but if I was running some actual production-level stuff there I would be very wary of using that facility.

Linode doesn't notify their customers affected by outages, or am I missing something?
- Macha 15y ago
  I've been notified for what amounted to two minutes of downtime before (my VPS is in the London data centre). Are you in the Fremont data centre? That is where this outage was.
  - getsat 15y ago
    Yes, I have a machine in Fremont. How were you notified? Email?
    - Macha 15y ago
      Yes. An email about unexpected downtime, then another two minutes later saying the downtime was over.
      - getsat 15y ago
        Hmm, I don't see any way in my Linode account settings to disable these emails, and I never received any! That is disconcerting. :(

  They don't. They do have an RSS feed that you can monitor with your favourite feed aggregator: http://status.linode.com/rss.xml http://status.linode.com/rss.xml
