[arch-mirrors] mir1.archlinux.fr definitive shutdown
by Tapi 24 Feb '13

24 Feb '13

After 7 years of service, mir1.archlinux.fr, which started its life as mir1.archlinuxfr.org, will be definitively shut down on February 26 2013. Lack of time, lack of money... and the fact that plenty of reliable mirrors are now available, leaded to this decision. Regards, Simon

[arch-mirrors] hive.ist.unomaha.edu: political nonsense and incompetence
by Zack Buhman 16 Feb '13

16 Feb '13

We have been forced/ordered by UNO IS to disallow connections from outside 137.48.0.0/16 to hive.ist.unomaha.edu. Allegedly the Lincoln campus is having "bandwidth issues", and the North campus network engineers are quickly pointing their fingers at everyone except for themselves (which is absurd; network utilization on hive is relatively light to begin with--but nobody wants to listen to us). They're also somewhat upset that on https://www.archlinux.org/mirrors/ the mirror is falsely attributed to North campus "unomaha.edu", rather than us, "ist.unomaha.edu". I know how terrible it is for mirrors to do this, but I'd much like to not risk my job over this; my sincerest apologies--it's even worse for me, because HP was about to give us a $15,000 server donation (they donate to "open source" causes or something I guess) to replace hive, but of course IS can't let nice things like this happen. Hopefully we'll be able to clear our name soon--in the meantime, I thought I would proactively explain why your probe is unable to talk to hive.
