Our colo just failed a generator test. Again.

Every month same story, caramba! Facility sends cheerful email: "scheduled maintenance window, no customer impact expected." Then I watch my UPS switch to battery, voltage sag, and my old Supermicro go dark. Nossa, I am not sleeping through this anymore.

They promise me "next month we fix the fuel polisher." Six months now. Six! My SLA says 99.995% but I am not sure they know what that number means, kkkkk.

Anyone else living this nightmare? I am not wanting to move, price is good and cross-connect to Contabo is not cheap to redo. But I am not trusting my backups to a genset that cannot start without three tries and a mechanic kicking it.

Sorry for the long post, I am just... tired, my friend.
