What happened?

Anyone know why the site went down for a couple days? I was baking a thread and got worried the place died.

>>48402 no idea lol, hopefully death wont come for another hundred years

Don't know either. I saw someone say it could be a DDOS attack. I found out when I tried to login to the IRC, and my client was showing an error

>>48404 I tried checking /news/ and the IRC before making a thread and it was just me in the IRC lobby. To be fair I used the web client /irc/ links to.

https://cy-x.net/topic/lainchan-is-down/722 apparently hosting provider fuarrrked up and accidentally suspended lainchan

god just pull the fuarrrking plug already

>>48402 I can't access lainchan unless I use tor, maybe has to do with the outage? It just doesn't load and stays in a blank page.

>>48427 Can I get the TOR link? I was trying to find it while lainchan was down but couldn't

>>48402 >i was worried too. just an update this place still lives lol

>>48428 lainchan doesn't have a hidden service .onion

Its odd how mine and even the a local stores internet acted up at the same time also some other sites. I dont know what is going on but i dont feel like its a coincidence. At first i blamed it on my soykaf mobile internet which is as slow as 56k, but this is just too odd of a time. Also im so dependent on this place, i have nowhere else to go and am pretty helpless without it, its disturbing, im so glad its back even if only for a few minutes a day.

Someone, we don't know who, ddos'd the site for a few days at the same time ramnode seemed to do a scheduled update. I'll leave it up to you to imagine what's happening

It's still unreachable for me but only over IPv4 - hit GlobalSecureLayer and get no further. IPv6 works just fine. Has Appleman decided we're living in the future, or does the server just need a kick?

I get warnings about HTTPS being unsupported on Lainchan now, they block page load. Weird oldish FF. Don't believe it's my browser though and while it could be a server / load balancer config issue, it's new so it could be a MitM artefact.

>>48484 (bit shift flip flop) Not one post was made on this site in the meantime; liminal "sage" attained? Take it easy channizens.

i still can't access this place through a good browser like links what go on

>>48441 Schizophrenia is when nothing's a coincidence so surely it must mean something. I've got a reflective skull too. I bet you've got schizophrenia and your emitted thoughts bounce back at you being interpreted as external stimuli. For others: keep a paranoid schizo around like a canary, makes a lot of noise but can save your life.

Just to add my bit - I can only access the site on my phone via mobile data, other networks time out.

>>48555 This website is only working via IPv6. It's probably that your carrier supports IPv6 but not your ISP.

>>48555 >>48559 If you want to connect from home or another IPv4-only network, you can use Tor.

The oddest part about all of this is the lack of any response from the site team. What are they hiding?

>>48559 >>48560 You are right that I dont have an IPv6 address at home, but I'm connected from IPv4 network right now. I suppose there's some work being done on the site.

>>48568 site has been turning into 4chan since the instability began, coincidence?

>>48568 What about asking /q/? >>48574 What kind of work? Polishing? At the moment I don't know, but in the meantime, you can use this link: https://uptime.com/freetools/global-uptime-test/2755332/lainchan.org This is a very handy link if you want to keep track of any time-out connection errors, and somehow, Lainchan miraculously works the next day after I access from Uptime, but only for a day - then next day, I get time-out connection errors. I mean, how strange is this error? It's like the heavy fog outside my house...

>>48578 >ask /q/? You know damn well that 99 out of the 100 mods of this site (90% of total users) are watching this very thread. If the site team wants to release any info, they will make a thread on their own, or even reply here.

I noticed a number of websites their HTTPS stopped working but if they had HTTP it was still working. I suspect it was a bad server update somewhere.

what does it mean if your posting leads to "please make a better post"?

I still can't access the site from Chrome or Brave, only Tor works.

22chan went down at around a similar time and still isn't up yet. A few other altchans also seem to have disappeared. I wonder what's going on with the service providers to start knocking this stuff offline? >>48580 This is a good theory.

i actually hope they pull off the plug because the site has been with us unfortunately since for a decade
