Downtime 23.1.2019

We were down for at least 15 minutes tonight due to an issue with the host. I don't know exactly for how long, because after I found their forum was down too, I figured they'll be on it and went to watch Sex Education. Good show.

Anyway, sorry about that and if I find out the cause, I'll update here.

Likely the Sex education.

Went down myself. Shutdown my well running PC before going to bed a couple of days ago, only to face a BSOD the next morning. "Windows cant verify the digital signature for this file. (0x0000428)" - Windows won't even start up. Turns out the SSD containing my system partition died out of the blue. While it was still connected, neither keyboard or mouse were recognized.

Fortunately a Win10 reinstallation was still possible. I was quite worried about having to purchase one because I had gone the free upgrade-route when the offer was originally made by Microsoft. Never received any license key infromation for it. Turns out that it is stored in the cloud. Since it is married to your hardware to some extent, I guess that won't work on an all new system though.

Seems like a good time for some early spring cleaning and renovations, I guess.
