They seem to be struggling. There was a substantial outage yesterday too

This new outage has occurred almost exactly 24hrs after the first one - is there some automated process tripping everything?

The incident states that it's a power issue (like they said last night), but none of my servers were rebooted last night, so it's clearly something affecting the network level, and it seems to be affecting all servers.

Maybe it’s the time the cleaner plugs in the vacuum.

I'm going to be looking to leave in the next couple of months.

A power issue and networking issues are not mutually exclusive, it could very well be that networking equipment is on a separate power delivery circuit from the actual servers.

Yes, sorry I didn't mean to imply that Linode were lying about the cause!

I look forward to their full postmortem about the issue (they promised that after the first outage, but the second happened before they'd published anything).
