Forums upgrade today

Post by Steve Sokolowski » Fri Aug 03, 2018 8:18 am

Today, we will be upgrading the operating system of the server that is providing mail, the forums, and a few other services. Mining will not be affected, but you may not be able to access the forums for a period of time.

The reason for the upgrade is that the Debian developers ended support for version 7, so the current server has security vulnerabilities. Upgrading to Debian 9 will allow it to continue receiving patches until at least 2022.

Thanks for your patience!

This upgrade has been completed. We discovered some configuration security vulnerabilities while I was working on the upgrades, so I'll be changing those throughout the day, requiring 10s restarts of the forums.
