Kernel Upgrades Friday 4/22/2021 11PM Pacific Daylight Time

     We will be performing another round of kernel updates on April 22, 2021 starting at 11pm.  Also at this time we’ll be taking mail down for some additional time in order to increase the amount of RAM.  This should only take a few additional minutes.  The logs are indicating some memory pressure during peak times, not enough to result in swap usage but enough to reclaim buffers early which hurts performance.

     All of our hosting, shell, and email servers will be affected between 11PM and approximately 11:30PM though the individual downtime for any one of them should be ten minutes or less.

     Also affected are our fediverse sites https://friendica.eskimo.com/, https://hubzilla.eskimo.com/, and https://nextcloud.eskimo.com/.
