Recent security updates required a reboot of the server. Overall, the system has been very stable, with 222 days of continuous uptime that was only interrupted due to the security update. There have been two instances of the Netnews server consuming all avalaible PTYs, which were resolved without a reboot in both cases.
Unfortunately, after the reboot both the web and netnews services were not properly restarted. The netnews server is currently started manually, and needs to be updated to restart automatically.
The web server should have restarted automatically, but was prevented due to a race condition with Wireguard for establishing secure connections to other participating Tildeverse servers. The Wireguard/VPN dependency has been removed for the time being until the race condition can be resolved.
The local 'chat' command is not currently working, as the IRC tunnel requirements have changed within the Tildeverse. A new approach is being investigated, and will be implemented as soon as possible.
Going forward, the system will need to be updated to OpenBSD 6.6. Once that is ready to be done, a maintenance downtime window will be announced.
I appreciate everyone being here. Please let me know if there is anything that will make the system more useful.
One last item, I've been away from IRC lately due to a confluence of family issues and stupid IRC client issues. However, I do login at least once per day and check email/news. If there are any issues and I'm not on IRC, please hit me up with an email.
