dev.mutt.org is unreachable (again)
Is anyone else unable to reach dev.mutt.org? Multiple browsers eventually timeout when I try to go there. For instance, Safari says "the server unexpectedly dropped the connection". Lynx says "HTTP request sent; waiting for response" forever and then drops it with "Unexpected network read error; connection aborted". This seems to happen around once a month. I wonder if the cause is the same as whatever is causing repo cloning and downloading of nightlies to often hang in the middle of the operation, fixable only by canceling the download (or clone) and trying again (with fingers crossed). This happens most frequently with cloning, FWIW, and has been occurring for years. -Jack

Ya, I was going to send an email about this as well, for I cannot reach it since yesterday, at least (that's when I noticed) On Thu, Jul 11, 2013 at 09:50:14AM -0600, j...@forallx.net wrote: > Is anyone else unable to reach dev.mutt.org?

The VM doesn't have a lot of memory. If something spiders the hg web interface (in spite of the fact that it's forbidden in robots.txt), it can OOM the VM and cause all kinds of havoc. This appears to be what happened yesterday. I've banned the misbehaving IPs and allocated more memory to the VM. > I wonder if the cause is the same as whatever is causing repo cloning > and downloading of nightlies to often hang in the middle of the > operation, fixable only by canceling the download (or clone) and trying > again (with fingers crossed).

It's also possible that you're talking over IPv6 and something on that path is flaky.
