Not just you.

Doubt it. But, that brings me to another point. The GDPR. Other than simple web server logs for monitoring download counts and security purposes (hacking attempts and such), none of my sites do any form of tracking. Heck, they don’t even pull in any libraries or content from third party sites (I might be referencing some google fonts on a couple sites. But, I’ve been removing those. I’ve got to go over some old CMSs I wrote a long time ago. I’ll get to them sooner or later). In general, I don’t like any form of tracking or data harvesting. I don’t even disagree with the intent of the new EU regulations. But... I do many things strictly on general principles. I refuse to be regulated by any foreign body or government in any way. This is regardless of wether or not I agree with their regulations. In protest, I am considering redirecting all EU traffic to a “your out of luck” page or just blocking all EU traffic. Or, I may just block everything outside the US. But... Since I don’t collect information and it would suck for users, I have not yet decided on my personal response to them overstepping their authority. > Or is > the site actually down, and if so, why? My guess... Going straight to a request for a login is kinda odd. Looks like someone dropped an htaccess file in the root to lock it. Probably having serious server issues. Or, got hacked. With anything else, you expect at least a “sorry come back later page” > Thanks for giving me a hint :-) Regards, Eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
