Our status graphs and a few v6 only services should be coming back online shortly. We received word from FurrIX, our network provider, that they had a minor issue with their secondary IPv6 network that caused some functions to stop working from Mar 20th to Mar 24th. As far as I am aware, nothing other than our status graphs and the v6 interface for NS2 were affected during this time.

I have gone through the database and removed user accounts that we known are no longer being used.
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.
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.
