Not necessary for you to get the host yourself. Sorry to have been a little recalcitrant over the last week, but I have just started a new job with <https://status.im> which has been occupying my time. Erik Hülsmann, a CLF board member, rents <https://hetzner.de/> instances for his CRM company which he essentially donates to the CLF at less than costs, so spinning up a host is no problem.

If necessary, we would federate the `USER(a)common-lisp.net` domain. Currently we are running exim as the main MTA due to legacy concerns with mailman2 databases, but we wish to transition to a toplevel `postfix` that will work with the legacy `exim` for the `mailman2` app. > > I apologize for trying to rush this - I've got a lot of free time currently due to a lull in work going on at my current company.

Can you please provide me with the public half of a contemporary-strength SSH keypair. We’ll set up a host, and communicate root@HOST via ip4/6 under separate cover. yours, Mark P.S. if you wanna find me online, let’s figure out a Discord rendezvous.

Mailman3 migration, next step: mailman2 web-ui disabled
by Erik Huelsmann 13 Jul '24

13 Jul '24

All, Now that the 50 most active projects have been migrated to Mailman3 (available through https://mailman3.common-lisp.net/) I've disabled the web-ui for Mailman2. This means that the page listing the available mailing lists (https://mailman.common-lisp.net/listinfo) now forwards to mailman3's list management page (https://mailman3.common-lisp.net/postorius) All related entry-points for managing lists also have been disabled (meaning: /admin, /admindb, /create, etc.). The old archives are still available. They're listed at https://mailman.common-lisp.net/pipermail/ (which is where they've always been). I have no intention to remove these archives at this point, although we may want to point users to the fact that mailman3 is where new archives are being accumulated, especially on the thread/date index pages.

No, it is not necessary to get authorization from libera.chat to run bots. It turns out that one of the major problems with the lisp-bots code was that libera.chat seems to have installed some sort of request rate limiting setting that freenode never had which interprets connecting to many channels simultaneously as a network flood, and terminates the connections. I worked around that by placing a 200ms pause between JOIN events. I suspect that whoever was trying to diagnose connecting to libera.chat interpreted this as a ban or something, which led to the confusion. -- "A screaming comes across the sky.

common-lisp.net http stopped running

The apache2 instance seems to have stopped at 0010 this evening. Seems to be something about a bad SSL configuration due to a package containing empty certs being deleted Looking into it on the machine; sending email in case their are others working on this as well. -- "A screaming comes across the sky.
