Nothing Fancy

Darla · 05-20-2003, 10:07 AM

Is it just my stupid computer or is the site down right now?

califi · 05-20-2003, 02:17 PM

I was just about to open a thread too, Darla! are you seeing a Gateway Timeout Error?

Penny Century · 05-20-2003, 02:55 PM

Florrie's ISP may be acting up. I'd suggest to keep trying and wait for her to give some word.

Florrie · 05-20-2003, 06:01 PM

HostSave says it's an external attack on "Denial of Service". Apparently they have restored everyone's mail service, which means diddly to me 'cause I don't use it - and they hope to have web-services restored soon. That was at 3.00pm PST.

I need my daily MK

Works fine now

Florrie · 05-20-2003, 06:27 PM

Yep, Amz, it seems to be coming back - slowly though, for me at least.

Florrie · 05-23-2003, 09:57 AM

The NF sites appear to be inaccessible again and the "attacks" are continuing. The latest from HostSave is this:

Quote:

4:30 PM, PST, May 22, 2003 - We have learned that the Denial of Service (DOS) attack aimed at our systems since Tuesday, May 20, was not isolated to our network, but is a widespread DOS attack affecting a large number of Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Rest assured that the appropriate authorities have been notified and are working to identify the source of the attack.

Bloody no-life wankers, whoever they are.

Florrie · 05-23-2003, 07:18 PM

The latest - it's getting worse.

Quote:

11:30 AM, PST, May 23, 2003 - The Denial of Service (DOS) attack against our systems has further intensified, continuing to impact the performance of our website and mail services. The intensity of the load we process on a normal day is approximately 1,600 packets per minute. We are currently processing in excess of 3 million packets per minute. Our engineering and systems administration teams continue to take steps to further harden our network and provide increased availability, but these are temporary solutions. We are taking drastic steps to resolve this issue at its source and appreciate your patience as we work toward a solution to stop this malicious attack.

I don't understand why anybody would *want* to do this? What's the point other than fucking up other people's sites/services?

Penny Century · 05-23-2003, 08:39 PM

Florrie, if the DOS attack continues, would you like to load a backup copy on ST's server? I already have a /nothingfancy directory set up, and we were gonna keep a copy here for safekeeping anyway.

Florrie · 05-23-2003, 11:08 PM

Yes, my 'rainy day' project :/ I will get it done Penny, I promise.

At the moment the ftp is back up and running and pages are loading well on the sites. Cross fingers, legs and tits.

Florrie has transferred the entire archive over to ST's server as of this morning. Please change your links to

http://www.stranger-things.net/justfic/

There's some tweaking left to do, but all stories are linked and loading.

Thankyoudrivethrough.
