Quoting Brian E. Lavender (brian(a)brie.com): Short version: The Linode virthost had a security problem and now needs to be rearchitected from scratch. I've not yet been able to spare the time to do that. For years, several other volunteers made a series of bad software decisions that increased the security risks, in violation of the volunteer team's agreements and without consulting me as lead sysadmin, and ignored my pointing this out and objecting to them violating our policies. Eventually, the system suffered security failure and Linode, Inc. management notified us of the breach. I elected to take www.svlug.org (which is also ns1.svlug.org) offline. As nobody else gives a damn, apparently the job of rearchitecting the Web site falls to me, and I'll do it when and if I find time. Meanwhile. lists.svlug.org is still there, being a separate virthost at prgmr.com .
