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.

So the LKML is operational, all that's down is a website. Meh.
CLI paste? paste.pr0.tips!
Keep in mind that if they weren't cheapskates, they would pay for their OS, and wouldn't be using Linux to begin with.
Why isn't this hosted on the Cloud or made into a Facebook Group?
No. This is serious. I understand that as a work-around, Linus had to go to the park and yell at strangers.
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.
