Hi everyone,

I'm going to take the server down tonight at midnight UTC, 20:00 EDT. It will take about an hour to image the disk in its entirety. After that has completed, I'll upgrade the server to OpenBSD 6.6, which will only take a few minutes. However, upon finishing the upgrade, I'll need to spend some time upgrading the packages, recompiling some other software, etc. I'll keep sshd down until I feel like the server is mostly usable for everyone.

Once it comes back up and you can log back in, please mail admins@tilde.institute if you find anything that's broken or otherwise not working as expected.

I'll send a reminder email out in two hours, one hour prior to the shutdown.

If you want to be notified as soon as you can log back in, connect to irc.tilde.chat elsewhere and hop in #institute, where I'll announce it. Otherwise, you can give it a shot around 02:00 UTC / 22:00 EDT maybe. No guarantees on that.

Thanks everyone, ~gbmor
