Empornium - access issues

[Tittyluvr1334]

Is anyone else having inability to connect to Emp since yesterday? I'm going on nearly 16 hours without ability to connect.

"Small incident." Hehe

But that explains why it's been down, definitely. I read about the fire, but didn't know emp had anything hosted there. Hopefully they get things restored soon then, as far as it's possible. Thanks for the info. I didn't know about the status site. :)

They were also going to do some maintenance around the time the datacenter issue popped up, so it might take them a little bit longer to get back up and running.

I never imagined that a cloud data center would be a bunch of train containers stacked together I instead thought of something like this, much sexier:

interesting story from Reuters talking about this issue.
Amazon, Google, and Microsoft all have major servers there, and didn't get affected - yet many of their competitor services did.

Interesting.

Server capacity is often delivered in containers. Might be thousands of servers in one, and they're not designed for people to go inside. Just cables with electricity, internet and cooling, and then there's fancy software that manages the load inside. Like if one corner of the container has heavy load and starts to go warm, then the processing will be moved to other parts of the container to distribute the heat and so on. It's pretty cool stuff. Then they use them until maybe 10-20% of the servers have failed in there before they pull the whole container and replace it with a new one. Then they replace the broken ones in the old one and redeploy it somewhere else.

Likely has to do with the location of server containers and possibly extra redundancy. That, or the biggest guys have so much capacity there that as long as the fire was contained relatively quickly, the server capacity they lost is just a blip in their total capacity.

I wonder if it's gone for good. It's been two days.

It already seems to be up, just not under all domains. Looks like empornium.is works fine

They're a professional bunch, and from their description on the status page, the worst loss was images from the Fapping and Jerking image hosts for the last 23 hours. The site is pretty heavily coded and even if the host could get the backup up and running asap, there might be all sorts of dependencies and connections to put into place. I suspect it'll be back soon. They already came back many years ago from the original empornium.us version. The current empornium is already at least one rebirth after the original. :)

AHA! I didn't even know to try that. I'm there and all okay. Thanks for the tip.

I think this website was up all the time during the incident. However tracker itself was down therefore torrents would not have worked. However now it's up according to their status page to should be all good

It's been down for few days again, and although I should be patient, I'm just gonna ask: what public trackers do you consider safe and viable? Do they still exist? I'm still using rarbg both for porn and series that are not available in my country and it's a decent source, but it's rather limited. I'm looking mostly for new VR content and I'm not very picky And I'm a bit afraid to use the russian sites, but maybe there is a golden nugget somewhere...?

Both empornium.is and empornium.sx are up and have been that I've seen. empornium.me hasn't been up since the fire, but is on its way. They've had some issues with their uploads and image hosts the last couple of days, though, but from what I can tell, all the content that is already uploaded is still available. :)
