reddit downtime

Much to the dismay of my sleep schedule, reddit suffered some downtime this morning.

There were some heat/power issues at the datacenter that caused a number of our machines to die. We'll continue following up with our datacenter to mitigate this type of problem in the future.

Among the servers that we lost was the recommendation server, so we will be without recommendations for a couple of hours while they recompute.

We apologize for the downtime, and hope you all had a productive morning without reddit.
