@xiebob Oh! I thought you meant listening that was a chore, you don't really want to do it, but you have to. :)

@DreamHostCare Help! Our server at 208.97.155.96 is offline! No web, can't ping, can't SSH. I work on the site, but don't have access to the DH panel to open a normal trouble ticket. Worse, my client is trying to give a presentation on our work right now!

[davidreedernst @davidreedernst]

@dhstatus Same problem. I use gmail to fetch my mail from my DH-hosted domain. I'm apparently POPping mail just fine, but SMTP connections are immediately rejected, I can't send mail. I'm disturbed that https://t.co/HA1rMA6or6 doesn't show that there's a problem.

Customers! If you're using the OceanWP theme and you see there's an update available for the Ocean Extra plugin, please update the theme first before the plugin to avoid it crashing your site. Please raise a support ticket if you have questions or need help 💜

If you’re running Elementor we suggest waiting a little bit before upgrading to the latest version. We’ve had to roll back Elementor updates for many customers today. We have seen this on WordPress 6.0.1 but it may affect other versions too.

FYI, the DNS issue with #clockingit is resolved, so it should work normally now. It would be very comforting to hear what happened and what was involved in fixing it. @fudgie, thank you for taking care of this (assuming it was you), and I sincerely hope that all is well with you

[davidreedernst @davidreedernst]

This issue with #clockingit feels different. Besides the technical stuff looking different, no one else on Twitter seems concerned. Did I miss a memo somehow? If anyone can enlighten me, I'd very much appreciate it. @fudgie feel free to DM me if that makes more sense.

[davidreedernst @davidreedernst]

@fudgie As @capile says, the #clockingit server is actually still running, you can step around the DNS problem to get to it. A bit more detail: https://t.co/IlWlEdU1Dd If you don't know how to do this, search the web for "[your operating system] hosts file". DM me if still lost.

[davidreedernst @davidreedernst]

#clockingit is down, I'm seeing some scary stuff about the domain name in Whois. @fudgie is there anything we can do to get this running again?

[davidreedernst @davidreedernst]

@iManui @Erebuss I had an issue with this as well. I believe it was because of the change to the LetsEncrypt root certificate. wget on my workstation worked fine, but I think on a server I'm using it hasn't been updated recently.

[davidreedernst @davidreedernst]

@cwage @jwage I'm seeing it too. On a ping to my droplet (from my workstation, connected to Comcast): 51 packets transmitted, 38 received, 25% packet loss. Did this happen sometime recently?

[davidreedernst @davidreedernst]

@fudgie ..And, we're back! Thank you to whoever took care of this!

[davidreedernst @davidreedernst]

#clockingit went down again this morning, is still down.
@fudgie, can you kickstart it?

[davidreedernst @davidreedernst]

Aha, the national weather service has issued a dense fog advisory for this area. They are right!

[davidreedernst @davidreedernst]

Just drove through a strange patch of.. fog? Smoke? Thick air. On I-71 in Ohio Mile marker 150 or so, near Mt Gilead. Anyone else?

[davidreedernst @davidreedernst]

Again near Mansfield. Fog as we're driving through valleys? Doesn't smell like smoke..

[davidreedernst @davidreedernst]

@giulianong @fudgie @tlcdesigncomms You're probably all aware, but it's back. Thanks to whoever fixed it. :-)

[davidreedernst @davidreedernst]

#clockingit is down again, has been for a few days. @fudgie, can you get it going again?

[davidreedernst @davidreedernst]

@SiteGround Ah, it did not occur to me that the .tar "file" might have been a folder. Sorry! But still, that's not standard, and .tgz is definitely a common extension. I recommend you fix it, but either way I'll know what to do next time. Thank you for the reply!

[davidreedernst @davidreedernst]

@SiteGround In the new File Manager, I was unable to extract a .tgz file. I changed the name to .tar.gz, and then it worked, but it became a .tar file, which I couldn't extract. I repackaged it my stuff as a .zip and uploaded again. But surely you want to support tar..?
