The best I could think of is a small chair with a module sign on the sides with a ) turned 90 degrees with a couple spaces in front of the bracket to make it close to the ground. 
I’ll build it in the smelly couch when I’m on later.

Control panel is now restored, if I’m reading this right BUTT might have been lucky!
Zone
Region OpenStack: os-sbg6
How can I find out in which datacentre my VPS is located in?
The OVHcloud Control Panel gives you access to this information through the OpenStack “Zone” of your VPS. For VPS in Strasbourg, the mapping between OpenStack zone and datacentre is as follows:
| Zone | Datacentre |
|---|---|
| os-sbg1 | SBG2 |
| os-sbg2 | SBG2 |
| os-sbg4 | SBG2 |
| os-sbg6 | SBG3 |
SBG3 was not impacted by the fire. We aim to restore the power and network during week 12 and then gradually reactivate all services.
Provisional ETA: Monday, 22 March
for gradual restart

So if we are lucky we get our butt back next Monday that’s really good news and fast work.

2 was the one that burned down, 1 was the one back online tomorrow , 3 & 4 were the ones back up monday. the issues in 1,3&4 were something like network and power and one of them needed to be dried out.
I would recommend setting up a private github and just sticking all your data there and then pulling it to the vps using git.
not that it might happen again, since things like this tend to ensure that another event like that wont happen at that location for a while again.

It is in github already, but there’s more moving parts to it than just the scanner part which can’t be githubbed. Luckily there are other ways to backup stuff.
And to be precise they will start spinning stuff up gradually on Monday, no guarantees this specific instance will be up then.

It’s not industry standard practice for companies like Ovh, Google or AWS to backup the client data, most of them provide that as a feature for the client to enable… at an additional monthly cost.

Only 35€/month at OVH

if you are willing to pay that at ovh I would start watching out at the end of your contract and see about just getting a dedicated over on their other website “soyoustart” which is also owned by ovh, they always have deals.
I picked up a server with a i7-4790k with 32gb of ram for that exact same price last month with 4x 2tb hard drives. It was like 25%/month forever.
All of the dedicated boxes get a free 100GB of backup storage on a ftp server so you can even back stuff off the server, reimage it and then restore data if you want to do anything with the os. (not sure where that ftp location is though, still helps to have a 2nd “offsite” backup of this data.)
edit: eh… looking over the options at ovh its about the same if you are getting the full 32gb of ram…

No that’s ridiculously expensive, I could get a backup server for 4€/month if I do it myself. We’re talking a few gigabytes of data at maximum.

So as everyone that plays Boundless is well aware … BUTT has been down for awhile now. I have seen a few reasons for it but I wanted to reach out and see if anyone actually knows what’s up with it and if there is anything anyone can do to help out. I thought about snagging the code and/or offering some hosting or even having a secondary server for it … anything that can get it back up.
I do have coding experience as I do it for a living, but wanted to reach out to Mayumi and see what’s up and see if there is any help that is needed.
