The Linux Kernel Mailing List is Down (lkml.org)
Every page on LKML.org is currently displaying this error message along with a picture of Flits the cat.
What started out as a power outage while I was on vacation (leading to the computer hosting the backend of this site being unable to boot) became a larger issue as the mainboard in that computer appears to be broken.
Not wanting to let you wait for a spare part to arrive, I'm currently (while being assisted by our cat Flits) busy copying over all data to a VPS, and getting things working from there. The rsync is progressing slowly, having copied over the first 50% in three hours (at 14:30 CET). Please check back later for status updates.

Indeed. The actual mailing list is hosted on vger.kernel.org, is operated by The Linux Foundation, and is running perfectly fine. lkml.org is an entirely separate third party service that is quite often slow and unreliable.
The lists are mostly hosted on vger.kernel.org. LKML is just fine. LKML.org is just a web archive.
As others have pointed out, this isn't actually the mailing list, which is run in a much more resilient fashion. It's just a web archive of the list run by a guy as a hobby. Not nearly so critical.
