MP4repair.org has been offline for 60 hours (Sun 2 – Mon 3 – Tue 4 September). Please accept our apologies.

According to Murphy’s law, your website will go offline at the worst possible moment. This is exactly what happened.

We had an UPS (Uninterruptible power supply) to prevent summer storms from leaving our server without juice. It failed.

I discovered the problem on Sunday morning, but since I was over 1000 km away from the server, ending my hard-earned vacations, nothing could be done until today.

Lessons learnt: Protection equipments can also fail. Self-hosting will never give you 99.9% availability.
