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.

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!
hoping this lowers the stakes & gives folks the confidence to explore some other PDSs in the network!

planning to do some network restructuring later today, the PDS will be switched over to the backup uplink until it's over
might experience a small blip when changing the networks, and slightly worse performance while on the backup connection, but otherwise it should be ok
will reply here when done

Our PDS is physically located in Tokyo, so if your client (like deer.social) doesn't tell the AppView you're somewhere else - thanks to service proxying, the best guess at where you're at, from the AppView's perspective, could only be Tokyo (from the IP address of the PDS).

Just had a voltage drop in the circuit powering the PDS, the UPS kicked in, and it seems to have gone back to normal now, but just in case it drops again - assume the possibility of unexpected downtime in the following couple of hours

Having your account outside of a Bluesky PBC owned PDS is good, actually, you can still use other ATProto services (and even parts of the bluesky app itself) while you’re suspended from the bluesky appview by a definitely competent T&S team.

from analyzing both pds.witchcraft.systems and zio.blue from @zio.sh (the two biggest non-bridge/bot PDSes right now) we have come to the conclusion that the astra is a load-bearing part of an ATProto PDS and brings it great fortune and success
