+				As noted below, the integration with Sia cloud storage is highly
+				experimental, everyone who uses this service should be aware of
+				that fact.

+				I recently discovered that the Sia node that is storing the
+				files for this website had crashed because of a memory leak. The
+				Sia team is currently trying to figure out how this memory leak
+				occurred. It's likely the contract renewal went wrong which
+				caused the Sia node to become unstable. Now when I start the Sia
+				daemon it eats up about 1 GB of RAM per minute, so I've turned
+				it off for the time being.
+			</p>
+			<p>
+				In the short period that the Sia daemon keeps running I managed
+				to request a file listing. It seems that because of the failed
+				contracts about 80% of the stored files have dropped far below
+				1x redundancy, meaning that they are lost. The upside of all
+				this is that the bug has been discovered before version 1.3.3
+				has come out so it might be fixed in the next release, bringing
+				the Sia platform as a whole another step closer to being a
+				reliable data storage solution.
+			</p>
+			<p>
+				Anyway, don't be surprised if your previously uploaded files are
+				gone now. I will soon start purging all unrecoverable files from
+				the database so we can start over with a clean slate.
