RFO: underlying filesystem issues on the hypervisor caused the system to “freak out” (yes, that’s the technical term). After a reboot, some fighting with java iKVM the system is back up. Sorry for the trouble.
OT: (you can delete if you don’t care about my random stuff) I have some bigger plans to start to split the various parts of puck into more distributed systems (e.g.: DNS services, mail lists, etc) of time, including the various open.*project sites and databases). Last hardware refresh was in fall of 2011, so with the falling prices of SSD, etc it’s likely time to transition. - Jared > On Nov 7, 2014, at 7:34 AM, Chuck Anderson <c...@wpi.edu> wrote: > > I can't get to the mailing list page, and neither can > downforeveryoneorjustme.com: > > http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/puck.nether.net > > I've sent a couple new email messages there and they haven't been > delivered either. > > Here is the latest message I sent regarding the Lightower, Worcester, > MA fiber cut: > > Date: Fri, 7 Nov 2014 07:26:55 -0500 > From: Chuck Anderson <c...@wpi.edu> > To: outa...@outages.org > Subject: Re: [outages] Lightower, Worcester, MA fiber cut > > Update as of 06:05:16 -0500: > > "Status has remained the same Lightower has two (2) 288 cables that > were burnt through in a National Grid enclosure.
