Upgrading Eskimo North server kernels to 6.1.16 this evening starting at 11PM. Should be finished by 11:30PM providing no physical server hangs.

This involves all of the servers so shell servers, mail servers, web server, virtual private servers, will all each be down about 3-10 minutes depending upon the machine complexity.

The free fediverse services, friendica.eskimo.com/, hubzilla.eskimo.com/, nextcloud.eskimo.com/, and yacy.eskio.com/ will also be down during this maintenance. Most will return in 3-10 minutes, the exception being yacy which rebuilds it’s database after reboot, a process that can take as much as 40 minutes.
