Server is unreachable -- 2018

It's been a while since the server was incommunicado...  Any ideas what's going on?

Heya,

My VPS hosting provider had to bring the instance down for Meltdown patching. It looks like the host was down for ~15 minutes, which was a bit more than I was expecting. The patch did not fix Spectre, so this will probably happen again in the future when they roll out a patch for that as well.

Cheers!
