Partial temporary outage of www.gutenberg.org
by Greg Newby 30 Nov '24

30 Nov '24

Hi friends. FYI we have a partial website outage that might persist until after the weekend. The UNC iBiblio nameserver isn't working right, and their domain registrar needs to help fix it. Last night, I manually made some updates to use IP addresses rather than hostnames. That got searches and landing pages up again. Our statistics (top 10 etc.) will remain broken because we cannot get our log files. Database backups, including the frequent synchronization to pglaf.org (used for some of our posting activities) are failing. I'll try to put some more workarounds in place today, but I don't have administrative access to our servers so am limited in what I can do. I'm updating the message on the main page of https://www.gutenberg.org. We can continue to push new books and errata, but automated cataloging will probably not work and the cataloger's interface probably won't work. We might need to repush once things are fixed. If it looks like newly pushed titles are dysfunctional, we might need to pause those. Let's see what happens with our next new push... ~ Greg

Facebook new account restricted
by Eric Hellman 05 Nov '24

It seems that Facebook has restricted a post from yesterday. I'm not sure which book triggered that, but the admin panel says that an admin challenged it and the challenge was rejected? Looking at our website, I'm betting that that the offending book was "My autobiography" by Benito Mussolini. As I understand it, gutenberg_new will be able to post books for a month. I suggest that our other accounts should alert users to the suspension (referring to the book be number, not with a link). Eric
