a webpage not on https?
by Brynn
Hi Friends,
I don't know exactly how to explain this, except in the simple
language or understanding I have about this. Likely it's not a serious
problem, or even a problem at all. But since there was a recent thread on
the dev mailing list about SSL, I thought I should mention it, just in case.
I used to get regular visits to my site, which were referred by
inkscape.org. At some point, a year or 2 ago, when inkscape.org went to
https, I stopped getting reports about those visits. I did a little
research, and now I understand why my analytics apps can't report those
visits anymore. It goes to the very nature of https.
Anyway, yesterday I was surprised to see a visit from inkscape.org.
The visit came from https://inkscape.org/pt/aprender/tutoriais/. And I see
that it does say https. But there must be some explanation....because https
is not supposed to be back-trace-able.
Maybe this is just some kind of one-time glitch, and it's no
problem. But I thought I should mention, just in case :-)
All best,

Fwd: Website is Back up
by Maren Hachmann
Forwarded message from Martin Owens to the dev mailing list (sent about
10 hours ago):
Dear All,
The database came back online 7 minutes ago, and the website has been
turned from read-only (sqlite) to inkscape_live (MySQL). All downloads
and errors should be solved from now.
Thank you to everyone for being patient and please contact the various
user groups to let them know the process is done and things are back up.
Best Regards, Martin Owens

Website Down
by Martin Owens
Dear inkscape devels, docs and users,
OSUOUL had a major database error (they accidentally dropped all their
databases from their master database). They're restoring currently from
a backup from two weeks ago, so any changes to the website in the last
two weeks will need to be recreated.
We do have content backups (cms etc) which we do each night, so if
you've written something recently and would like content from the backup
let me know. We don't keep backups of user registrations or uploaded
gallery items so those in the last two weeks are gone.
Like last time I swapped the database to a read only sqlite db from
April. So at least the website shows base pages, there's still some
errors since I really didn't expect database fallback to be a huge part
of what we had to deal with but it's something we may want to improve if
we think osuosl's database is likely to have problems again in the
future.
Thanks for your attention.
