word

Is it the system update that broke embedded images?

I’m looking into this. Hopefully it will be fixed soon. Tnx for the link also.

# uptime
 14:04:34 up 617 days,  2:38,  1 user,  load average: 0.70, 1.04, 0.75

…and now rebooting

The joys of Linux. Try that with Windows…

Emergency reboot to an updated kernel due to the meltdown (CPU) flaw.

Previous uptime 177 days.

The forum was 10 min down (just a few moments ago) due to short maintenance (and update)…

Since the Archived forum was running on an ancient phpBB version which, furthermore, could not be run on any recent (and supported) PHP… and all of those out-dated software represented a security concern, I decided to update the Archived forum phpBB to the newest version. Which, of course, as any other jump “in future” with software, broke everything you could imagine: plugins, themes, posts, embedded codes, … Therefore, an avalanche of work was initiated: the plugins I disabled, the theme/style I changed to some default-ish phpBB with a few custom CSS bits, and posts are being repaired, hopefully.

Or just to illustrate the mess:

The forum was down for 10 min (the server disk became full :-/ ). The problem was fixed.

I appreciate all the work you do

Thanks andy!

Unsung hero of dsf

Tnx ppl!

7 posts were split to a new topic: Hosting of DSF, a question of funding

The forum software (Discourse) has been updated to the latest version, however not without troubles so I have to move it to the new server and we were down for a few hours.
