Stretch Thanks for keeping an eye on things!

Rebecca Server went from 60k requests a day to 1.4 million.

Rebecca AI bot crawlers that don't follow the rules, unfortunately. I've been playing whack-a-mole.

Stretch I got several 'forbidden' messages early on Jan. 24th and things were running slowly after they went eventually away.

Stretch It seems that all individual pages are 'forbidden' on Jan. 24th.

AstroNerdBoy I'm getting a lot of 403 "Forbidden" errors. Any link with http:// gets the error while https:// does not.

Stretch I'm glad to see that you are still keeping an eye on Mikomi, because I would be helpless if I had to deal with all the technical matters.

Rebecca @Stretch Yeah, that was the outage. Distro upgrade, upgraded apache, which changed its syntax for controlling file access and it took me a bit to find all the parts that had to change.

Stretch For some reason, I kept getting a message that I was 'Forbidden' to use the website yeesterday.

Rebecca Hey all, big outage today due to annoying software update reasons, but things should be back to normal. If not, please give me a yell!
