Pepperfish is suffering greatly; our apologies.

Ah, I wondered what was going on. Bit more than just rebooting the server then?

the SSDs in the current server are tired beyond reason. We're migrating to a new server with new OS versions etc for most things.

But that takes time, and I didn't want to have to spend 4+ hours recovering the old systems today instead of writing ansible roles.

Yeah, that seems fair enough. Have fun ansible-ing; hope it all comes up smoothly (ha!).
