Sorry, but there's really nothing to see here right now. Our server is in maintenance mode – and our
little bot is trying to sort the error messages with its last bit of energy.
Whether it was a data leak, a power outage in the cluster, or just a grumpy bit – we don't know yet.
But what we do know is:
The data drama escalated into a server meltdown. But don't worry: We're on it.
What now?
Everything is surely running smoothly over at our colleagues from inside
digital – why not stop by!
Or you could pass the time by visiting our social media channels – for example Instagram, YouTube or TikTok. At least there are no
server problems there – promised.
Thanks for your patience. Our bot is already rebooting at full speed. 🔧

I’m a tech editor and international domain manager with a background in English and media studies, and I’ve been part of the team for nearly five years.
My fascination with technology started early. Ever since I got my first laptop at the age of eight, I’ve been obsessed with how tech shapes the way we live, play, and tell stories. At nextpit, I focus on everything from gaming and consumer electronics to the strange, clever, and sometimes downright absurd tech oddities that deserve a closer look.
