What’s happened to the linux counter?
Tags: Blog, Linux
I’ve been a proud linux counter member (#372709) for sometime now; a few days ago I got some bounce-back error messages..
<machine-registration@gimel.counter.li.org> (expanded from <machine-registration@counter.li.org>): delivery temporarily suspended: connect to gimel.counter.li.org[158.38.152.227]: No route to host</machine-registration@counter.li.org></machine-registration@gimel.counter.li.org>
I didn’t think, much of it at the time, maintenance happens, but today noticed it again, a quick google shows that others have noticed too… I do hope this isn’t the end of what was a great project

Looks like it has gone the way of the dinosaurs. no one can get to it from the old address. here is address you can try http://www.li.org/

i’ve been wondering, too. the only clue i can find is that the TLD of li.org has recently undergone massive changes (see the site for more details). counter.li.org may not exist anymore. guess we have to stay tuned. if you get any more info, feel free to pass it along to me

update:

“There’s been a hardware error on the Linux Counter machine. It “should be easy to fix”, but it’s taken much longer than it should.
Current estimate is that we’ll be back online before June 25.
My apologies!
