Unfortunately, some maintenance in our server room has turned out to be more problematic than anticipated. The IT dept. will return to work about 12 hours from now and we hope they will resolve the situation as soon as possible. We apologise for any nuisance caused by this outage.

FAIRsharing @fairsharing.bsky.social · Jun 19

We're back up again (apologies for the delay) but the service should be considered at risk for the moment. We'll let everyone know if any further issues crop up.

FAIRsharing @fairsharing.bsky.social · Jun 19

Engineers are on site and working on fixing the cooling issue in the relevant server room. We expect to have more information from them around midday local time (around two hours from now).

SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Please note that power has gone off to part of the network at @ox.ac.uk due to overheating. @fairsharing.bsky.social is currently unavailable as a result. IT is working on it and we will let you know when it is back up and running.

Perhaps a short cat nap is in order.
