You may have noticed we had an outage for a while. There doesn’t seem to be any particular reason why, so I just assume our server decided to have a break for the holidays.
Why was outage there only for the discussion forum?
The forum is completely separate from the main site. Different servers, everything.
Anatta.
So there is no unchanging entity. (server)
Perhaps we can use server simile instead of the chariot.
Oh yes, no doubt were the Buddha alive today he would have used computer metaphors.
And bit and bytes are pretty much the least stable form of information that’s ever been invented.
Wasn’t there a sutta saying that unexplainable illnesses were due to karma, apart from the bile, phlegm, etc? Server outages maybe due to the same thing- kamma is not very democratic (more meritocratic ).
With metta
Glad the server decided to come back.
On my phone the SC logo is missing at the top of the screen (d&d only). If I knew how to clear cache on a phone I would. iPhone 5, running ios10.3.3 in safari.
It all seems to have caught up now. Ignore this.
Goodnight
Wild guess would be that the server decided to give us a retreat, and even wilder would be to guess that the server has kept a steadier noble silence than most of us during retreat time …
Maybe the bitcoin geeks got mad about people running down bitcoin, and decided to turn us off.
Or maybe it was Farcebook, we were running them down too.

Is it a good strategy to have some liaison with other Dhamma discussion groups such as Dhamma Wheel to notify these events?
