Server updates will be taking place at 9:00pm MDT so expect downtime of up to an hour.

That was a short news. 9pm?

Well there is little else I can say. Yes, 9:00pm MDT

Well, you could had explained why the web server should be off a whole hour instead of a small 45-second restart, I dunno. We like technical details

Also for the EDT folks it's 11:00pm and 8pm for you guys in the Pacific.

I'm not actually sure if it will be down for a whole hour or not I have no idea how long the upgrade will take. I'm guessing it will take at most an hour though.

It's going to be a full kernel update plus there are ~127 other packages that were updated. There is always the chance that updating could be a tad rocky

On my server i can just sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade with no problem while nginx is running.

Ah, okay. A dist-upgrade. Yeah in this case, you can say it'll go down during an hour, just in case stuff goes wrong. But in the best of cases, you won't even notice it.

I thought that every new had to be at least 8 sentences long and include a calculator screenshot at least 10 minutes long? Also normally, based on last year's downtime, 1 hour == 1 month

On a serious note, I assume that the upgrade have risks of having compatibility issues with PHP or just certain PHP softwares such as SMF, or databases that are modified to support negative topic IDs?

Told you.

Yeah things seems fine so far. I guess now we just have to see if anything else that we don't use as often stopped working, other than stuff that already didn't work (such as www.omnimaga.org/statsgraph.php)

Aaaaand fixed (It might not be completely accurate anymore, Juju should take a peek at it. Anything else that needs fixing?
