Hi All, I've been trying to get on to the wiki for the last few day without success. Is it just me or have other users experienced the same issue. *I have tried pinging and get:* --- PING server-nl.contextgarden.net (5.39.185.232) 56(84) bytes of data. --- --- server-nl.contextgarden.net ping statistics --- packets transmitted 9 received 0 packet loss 100% time 8306ms *And tracerroute gives:* traceroute to wiki.contextgarden.net (5.39.185.232), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets 1 *** *** *** 2 core24.fsn1.hetzner.com 213.239.245.241 de 0.534ms core23.fsn1.hetzner.com 213.239.245.237 de 0.518ms core24.fsn1.hetzner.com 213.239.245.241 de 0.534ms 3 core5.fra.hetzner.com 213.239.224.94 de 4.822ms 4.812ms 4.795ms 4 *** *** *** 5 *** *** *** 6 *** *** *** 7 *** *** *** 8 *** *** *** No reply for 5 hops. Assuming we reached firewall. Best Wishes Keith McKay

Tried a few times to no avail. -- A novice asked the master: "I have a program that sometimes runs and sometimes aborts. I have followed the rules of programming, yet I am totally baffled. What is the reason for this?" The master replied: "You are confused because you do not understand the Tao. Only a fool expects rational behavior from his fellow humans. Why do you expect it from a machine that humans have constructed? Computers simulate determinism; only the Tao is perfect. The rules of programming are transitory; only the Tao is eternal. Therefore you must contemplate the Tao before you receive enlightenment." "But how will I know when I have received enlightenment?" asked the novice. "Your program will then run correctly," replied the master. -- Geoffrey James, "The Tao of Programming"

Hi, I think the Wiki is still down? I cannot reach it - thru the browser or thru the traceroute tool. best, Ramkumar On Fri, Jun 16, 2023 at 8:24 PM Keith McKay via ntg-context < ntg-context(a)ntg.nl> wrote: > All good now Taco. > > Thanks for the advice. > > Keith McKay > > On 16/06/2023 12:33, Taco Hoekwater wrote: > > Hi Keith, > > > >> On 16 Jun 2023, at 13:04, Keith McKay via ntg-context < > ntg-context(a)ntg.nl> wrote: > >> > >> I am getting "safari can't find server" for the wiki so I checked on > isitdownrightnow.com and it confirms it is down. > > Must have been some transport issue.

Server downtime

Hi all, Many of you have noticed that https://wiki.contextgarden.net and https://www.ntg.nl are down, as well as all the mailing lists at domain ntg.nl, and a few less obvious websites like source.contextgarden.net and modules.contextgarden.net. The ntg.nl/wiki.contextgarden.net server’s disk (raid) controller crashed so badly that we did not trust it to come back up in read-write mode, so we had to rebuild the disk setup as read-only and then copy its revived data to a different machine that we also still had to configure. This is a complicated and slow process, unfortunately. Our apologies for the long down time! As of now, we at least have working emails for the mailing lists again. Tomorrow we will try to get the simple websites back up. We hope to at least be able to restore www.ntg.nl, wiki.contextgarden.net, and the mailing list web interface. Getting the email subsystem back up was the main priority today. More news later (sometime tomorrow) All the best, Taco (also from Robbert and Jules) ==== Dag Allemaal, Velen van jullie hebben gemerkt dat https://wiki.contextgarden.net en https://www.ntg.nl onbereikbaar zijn, evenals alle mailinglijsten op domein ntg.nl, en een paar minder voor de hand liggende websites zoals source. contextgarden.net en modules.contextgarden.net. De schijfcontroller (raid) van de ntg.nl/wiki.contextgarden.net-server crashte zo erg dat we het niet vertrouwden om hem terug te laten komen in lees-schrijfmodus, dus moesten we de schijfconfiguratie herstellen als alleen-lezen om vervolgens zijn nieuw leven ingeblazen data te kopiëren naar een andere machine die we ook nog moesten configureren. Dat is helaas een ingewikkeld en vrij langzaam proces. Onze excuses voor de lange downtime! Vanaf nu hebben we in ieder geval weer werkende e-mails voor de mailinglijsten. Morgen gaan we proberen de simpele websites weer aan de praat te krijgen. We hopen in ieder geval www.ntg.nl, wiki.contextgarden.net en de web-interface van de mailinglijsten te kunnen herstellen. Voor vandaag was het heropstarten van de e-mail faciliteiten de eerste prioriteit. Later (ergens morgen) meer nieuws Al het beste, Taco (ook van Robbert en Jules) ==== — Taco Hoekwater E: taco(a)bittext.nl genderfluid (all pronouns)

`recode'. All it requires is making a few functions kept in a single `.c' file, adjusting `Makefile.am' and remaking `recode'." -- George N. White III <aa056(a)chebucto.ns.ca> Head of St. Margarets Bay, Nova Scotia, Canada
