When did you last test your failover? I'll start and I'm not proud of this and I was looking at my calendar yesterday and realized it's been fourteen months since I ran anything resembling a real failover test and I kept telling myself I would do it next weekend and then next weekend and then it was Q4 and then it was tax season and then my minecraft box had some valheim lag issues and I got distracted and here we are and I run two nodes in what I tell myself is active-passive but honestly I don't even know if the secondary would boot clean at this point and I never tested the IP takeover script after that kernel update and the floating IP might just float into the void and I'm paying for two servers so I can sleep at night but it's theater at this point and I wanted to know if anyone else is living this lie and be honest because we all talk about 99.9% uptime but that's meaningless
