gollark: osmarks.net is fairly reliable, except for the fact that my internet connection randomly fails occasionally, and my server's backups would take some time to restore from.
gollark: That was just a possible patch for the 100.4% uptime thing.

gollark: ubq hosts it and onstat is not fully reliable.
gollark: status.osmarks.net is broken.
