Just got a note from them saying "the storage for the physical host that your Linode resides on is in a degraded state.
Our team has determined that there is a *potential* for data loss or corruption for all services residing on it"

Oh, and also that they'll continue charging us for it anyway until we delete it.

@corbet I take it as a good sign that you didn't say list_add figure out backup :) Good luck, hope you're up again soon.

@ljs @corbet I use several replicas at several independent hosting providers, paid from two different credit cards, backed by bank accounts in two different banks.

@corbet postgresql replication is not too hard to set up... but maybe replicate somewhere other than Linode? 🙂
