Should be OK from now on, thankfully we didn't have to shut anything down.
Starting at 14:30 JST (5:30 UTC) today, please be ready for temporary PDS outages due to construction work in our building.

ATProto Oauth is currently broken on the PDS side, investigating

for us it wasn't working even over direct tailnet IPs, so honestly no idea what happened on the inside

restarting everything worked though

tailscale daemon had a moment at 4 AM (JST) and decided that routing traffic is no longer an option

oops

this is really cool actually!! now you can try migrating to a third-party PDS (like ours :3) and if you don't like it there - come back to your previous bluesky-hosted PDS!
okay and as promised, the bluesky PDS is officially open for returning users to migrate their accounts back!

oh and we also have a publicly-accessible S3 bucket with nightly exports of all accounts so in case we go down you will still be able to get your data (for at least a month) and move somewhere else

worst case scenario (like, an earthquake or smth) - the backup gets rolled out onto a VPS and we’re back
September 2, 2025 at 10:09 PM
in my defense, it’s a synology on a UPS, with two redundant network connections (fiber and 5G), nightly backups, and a backup instance ready to be deployed if something happens to the main one
