There's an ongoing DDoS attack. Looking into it.

Cloudflare down (and so Discord, Twitter, and half the sites online).
Kiwi Farms up.

A fat jeet is suing us in the Copyright Claims Board.

Service restored. Sorry for the delay.

The Kiwi Farms relies on Section 230 to stay up, as do many other small websites. I hope you will take time out of your Christmas holidays to write your reps - they're trying to force through Section 230 repeals over Christmas.

While we settle down for Christmas, Congress is working to poison the Internet and harm small sites. Please write your reps in defense of Section 230.

DDoS attack. Appears to be affecting a lot of infrastructure, not just us.

Edit: Resolved.

Important news for sports enjoyers: BossmanJack has $500 riding on the Patriots, seriously reducing the likelihood they will win.

Sorry for the lack of updates - the site is down because the backend server was sent to reboot but it has not completed its shutdown. This is usually because a service is hanging, which is an ordinary problem. The complication is that it did successfully shut down SSH immediately, so I cannot remote in to fix it.

I submitted a ticket for IPMI access but I submitted it to the wrong department. I just re-submitted and am waiting.

This is the last bout of maintenance on the server I need and then I don't have to poke it anymore. The operating system is Debian 11, which is EOL in May 2026, so updating it was necessary.

The upgrade from Debian 11 to Debian 12 with an attempt to remove unused Proxmox software has resulted in a boot failure. So now I get to fuck around with this for the next 10 fucking hours.

Everything's backed up and nothing's even on the boot drive except the actual OS so it's just going to be agonized fucking around.

Maintenance is nearly complete and my endless suffering is almost ended.

We're suing Liz Fong-Jones.

Fair warning: Jet Neptune will want to beat you with a baseball bat if you post in this thread.

I would like to inform everyone that pro-deplatforming Keffals simp Tipster now looks like this. Laugh at him.

Sorry for the short notice but we will be conducting maintenance soon that will involve a full shutdown.

Shutting down

Maintenance concluded without issue.
