After two short outages [1], 'chavez' has failed yesterday (thursday),
march 25, sometime between 16:24 [2] and 20:11 [3] UTC. According to its
Munin graphs [1] and internal time keeping, and assuming the systems'
time zone is UTC, this took place at 17:00 UTC (+/- 15 minutes).

It is now back online (not by my hands). The exact time it became
available again was somewhere between 13:35 and 13:45 UTC today
(friday), march 26.

According to its self-hosted munin stats [1] the server was unable to
collect plottable information (most likely due to the system being
unpowered or not having fully booted after reset or power loss) for
10h45m after the initial failure, but recovered this ability around
05:45 UTC today. Full internet connectivity, hover, was not restored
until the time given above, as indicated by the munin networking graphs.
