Saffron outage 27/12/15

[Jeremy Morse]

Hi,

Linode london have essentially been knocked off the internet by DDoS
[0], this kills the website. Nothing we can do about it for the moment.

I'm away from 12pm today til the 30th, so someone else might need to
bring the website back up if they restart things (unlikely).

Hi,

Linode continue to be periodically hit at various datacenters, kind of
looks like someone is kicking the tyres of their new botnet. Unclear
whether it'll be sustained.

Hi,

FYI, Linode continue to be attacked, it looks like their Atlanta DC has
been down for two days now. My impression is that their upstream ISP at
that location has fallen over, more than linode being overwhelmed.

This may still turn into a problem, but it's not immediately affecting us.

Hi,

Someone really is out to get linode [0]. None of this has seriously
affected SR in any way yet though, and I see zero reason to switch from
them yet.
