You really just need a comically long stick to flick the power switch from the mainland. Simple as.
Or perhaps pay that Satyr, I mention in another comment.
In seriousness, is physically moving the server possible? I know absolutely nothing about servers at all. Or would we be able to host it virtually? I realize that probably defeats the idea of a self hosted instance. What about as a back up or something?
I’m completely just throwing spaghetti at a wall here, and it isn’t even half cooked.
Due to the LLM scrapers I have been thinking that I might have to move to a hybrid system of going through a VPS with only some storage and compute services on my home servers remaining. It is an annoying expense of about 20€/month that I was hoping to avoid, but it will give some other benefits like a fully fixed IP, IPv6 support and DDOS protection.
In such a setup the service would degrade better, like images breaking, but the main service staying up when my home server goes down.
But it is not something I can setup now that the service is already inaccessible.

Yeah fair enough. I agree, annoying on your end about the expense.
Bummed that you can’t seem to catch a break with the sever suffering from separation anxiety and throwing a fit every time you leave for work.
Artistic rendering. (had to use catbox since lemmy.cafe doesn’t seem to allow image uploads?)

You have no idea how much I wish I could fit this in my profile picture
