running manual updates on the primary host Friday 12th June 2026 23:39:04

aaand it's back! okay let me finish the service updates and bring everything back up

rebooting again, let's see if it works now.

..debian for whatever reason decided to install grub-efi instead of grub-pc, even though I use legacy bios boot (because it's a hetzner server). I never requested this, but I'm now fixing it so it should work again. also curious grub still allows you to do grub-install and such while the wrong version is installed? but oh well

yea it looks like it's bootlooping, but unsure why, let me get back into the rescue distro

rescue system came up fine, so the machine is fine. going to try something else and see if that boots. I guess something was wrong with grub after all, but unsure what because the config looks okay?

no response yet. I'm going to netboot into a rescue image to see what's wrong.

reset sent. let's wait a few minutes to see if it comes back

going to powercycle/reset the server through the hetzner control panel once we hit 15 minutes past midnight.

hmm, reboot is taking a bit longer than expected, though this can happen if something is hanging on shutdown or boot.

apt complained about grub so I'm verifying everything is okay there, it seems like it is though. .. rebooting machine now.

updates are running smoothly so far. reboot will happen as soon as those are done.
