That's fixed now, thanks for the note!

CloudFlare cleared up their issues, so the site's back up!

Oh right, the latest comedy, love the cinematography!

Anyway, CloudFlare figured their stuff out, so we're back, post away!

Is it about Landman? It better not be about Landman!

Cloudflare is having issues at the moment, so the site is down (along with other sites). No ETA on when it'll be fixed, but Cloudflare is aware and working on issues.

Evidently the auto update of the certificate failed, looking into how to avoid this happening in the future. One possibility is moving site to a new server.

Not sure what happened, will get more info once frimble is out an area with shaky internet.

Site is back up.

As of 3am ET, the site is down, says there is not a valid SSL certificate. Frimble the developer has been pinged about this.

Site came back up 11:31pm ET. According to frimble the AWS instance had stopped, so it was restarted.

Site's still down for unknown reasons, frimble has been pinged, will have an update when there's more to report. Thanks for your patience!

Cite appears to be down as of 8:12pm ET, looking into.

Yes, we'll work on that.

Site is back up, we're looking into what happened.

The site is down. Of course it happened during a gap when no was working on the site or had access to a phone, hence the late response. Frimble is now looking into the issue, thanks for your patience!

Note about site being down for about an hour. Yes it happened, will share details when we know more. Reminder about our BlueSky account for checking for news about site being down, it's located at https://bsky.app/profile/metafilter.bsky....

Update to why site was down: Turns out it was a problem when updating ssl certificates and no one was near an actual computer at the time, so it was matter of getting home to fix it. There's a thread on MetaTalk about all this: metatalk.metafilter.com/26660/Note-a...

Site should be up for everyone, will posts some details when more is known.

a problem when updating ssl certificates, back now

Okay things should be back. Apologies for delay, frimble was not a home when site went down, had to travel back to get in front of a computer.

Beware the dangers of going outside! :)

Will post when we have a better understanding of why things went down.

Site down, reasons unknown, frimble checking into.

At least there isn’t a modem screaming at you, so that’s an improvement!

Site has been slow most of the day, apologies! Frimble is taking a look.

Site back up to speed as of 1:40pm ET. AI bots were having a field day.

Site is running slow, developer pinged, bear with us!

Annnnnd back, just a brief hiccup

Site currently seems to be down, working on it!

Yes, there was brief hiccup last night at midnight ET as the site SSL certification expired. It was fixed by 12:17am ET

Oh, hey, just what we need: cupcakeninja has made a post for lists of "classic novels that bring the laughs."
