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.

    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.
