Operations Feed:

FurrIX NOC: Domains Released

We have gotten notification from the NOC of our networking provider that they have chosen not to renew the domains ‘birb.rest’ and ‘avali.rest’ due to cost reasons. These domains were only used for personal splash pages and a handful of user subdomains that have not seen lookups in some time. This should not affect our operations in any meaningful way.

We have also heard that FurrIX is dealing with a DNS amplification attack and will be temporarily dropping any IP address that cross over 40 request per second until the incoming traffic targeting a few specific domains has let up.

FurrIX NOC: Dropping Singapore Traffic

We are seeing absurd amounts of wordpress attack traffic coming from the country of Singapore and have updated our network rules to drop traffic originating from the country for the time being.

Updates on Physical Host

PHY One has had kernel and package updates applied after 181 days on uptime. Found a quiet spot to process updates and reboot the machine.

Another Modded MC Server

We are hosting a mess of a modded server for MNFurs. There may be bugs, crashes and other issues because there was a lot of mucking around to get this to actually run but it seems like everything is still intact..mostly anyway.

Riot the Yeen is the maintainer for this server, direct support questions at them.
