Unfortunately, this is nothing new and has happened on several occasions over the past weeks. I have no idea what could be causing this issue, but could it be related to reverse proxying paste.lisp.org which is no longer serving pages?
I missed the retirement of paste.lisp.org <http://paste.lisp.org/>: it was running read-only for quite a while. Was a decision made to shut it down permanently?
No, that decision made itself: the ever since the bots have been kicked off Libera, the server has been failing to serve lisppaste as well. The only thing I did after months of failure (which I did note only in arrears; I wasn't actively looking at these failures happening), I took the sbcl out of its misery and just shut it down.
I heard about the “libera.chat bans bots” ambiently over the last couple months. I just had the following conversation in #libera-bots <easye> Mornin' all. I am trying to get some up-to-date information about the status of bots being allowed on libera chat networks. Over the past couple months, I've heard ambiently that "bots are now banned", but according to <https://libera.chat/guides/faq#are-bots-allowed> bots *are* allowed. [06:14] <easye> Has the policy outlined in the libera faq ("bots allowed with permission from channel operator") been changed? [06:19] <moonmoon> hasn't [06:21] <moonmoon> whether a bot is allowed in a channel is up to the ops of that channel <easye> moonmoon: thank you for the clarification. [06:22] <moonmoon> so if you heard that bots are banned from a particular channel, it means that. not a network-wide thing So, it must be that the operator of #commonlisp that banned the bot? Who is that at this point? Anybody have insight into whatever drama is -- "A screaming comes across the sky. It has happened before but there is nothing to compare to it now."
