content: It seemshttp://sigrok.org/is down and has been for many days.Is the project abandoned? Many searches turn up absolutely nothing about the site closing (or the fact it has been down a while).

content: Quote from: evb149 on February 07, 2022, 12:34:42 amI believe the sigrok repos on gitub are mirror-only. The real repo is on sigrok.org (It also looks like you can't file an issue, only pull requests).

content: I went looking for it a few weeks back and it wasnotup.Currently domain registration is OK. DNS lookup is OK. HTTP(S) connections to port 80 and port 443 fail with "connection refused" for both IPv4 and IPv6.I believe that was the state of play when I went looking a few weeks back. I assumed at the time it was a temporary problem that someone would fix when they spotted it (I vaguely remember it being over the Xmas break). It seems that is not the case, but something more persistent.

content: Based on thesigrok-devel mailing list, I'd say it's just the web server at sigrok.org that is down, and nobody noticed or bothered to tell the list until Saturday (2022-02-05). If the git interface (typically using SSH) and mailing lists work, it's easy for the devs to not notice the web server being down, since they don't actually use the web server for anything themselves.It's not like youpaythese guys to do their thing, after all.

content: Fine here too. Maybe their occasional downtime every two years comes from them forgetting to renew the domain in time. Just a possibility. Then DNS takes a while to propagate back.

content: I saw a host-unreachable error once yesterday, but couldn't reproduce/repeat it. A possible (likely?) scenario is a temporary connection/routing issue that got cached by OP's browser, and they didn't force-reload the page, therefore getting a cached error page instead.Whenever you get an error page, simply reloading the URL will not always do a full reload attempt. For example, with Firefox, you need to do Shift+Ctrl+R (instead of just Ctrl+R) to bypass the cache and do a real full page reload.(The underlying technical detail: when the error is displayed as a HTML page instead of simply passing a brute HTTP error to the client, the error HTML page is cacheable. Those creating such pages should ensure the server includesDate:andCache-Control:HTTP headers to explicitly disable caching such error pages (HTML<metaelementhttp-equiv="Cache-Control" content="..."may not suffice for all browsers), but many proxies do not bother, leading to the kind of issues OP is seeing.)

content: Hi, the sigrok website/servers seems to be down again. Im pretty sure it worked about 3 weeks ago so their certificate might be expired? I saw in an earlier post that it was till 20-3-2025 so that might be it. My browser currently just gives an error: connection timeout though. Tried on multiple laptops and networks to check if it had to do with me.

content: This now displays:Code:MediaWiki 1.37 internal errorInstalling some PHP extensions is required.I'm guessing they are updating the server, or maybe they just switched hosting services (which would correlate with the down time).

content: Not sure what they are going to do.The github repo shows some activity as PRs:https://github.com/sigrokproject/libsigrokbut no update to the repo itself for the last 6 months.It's a read-only mirror repo too, so you can't open issues or anything other than PRs.sigrok hosts (well, used to host) their own git repos, so that part is as unavailable now as the website.It used to be a pretty active project. So I don't know what's up. Looks like the maintainer(s) stopped caring (maybe something bad happened, I don't know).

content: RIP. Greeted with this message from the sigrok website."Hi there. Unfortunately, the server that hosted sigrok.org had a critical data loss and the hoster it was hosted on isn't helpful at all.I will set up a new server with a new hoster in the next couple of days. Until then, here's a link to the sigrok downloads.https://sigrok.org/download/For any questions or comments, feel free to hop on IRC:https://web.libera.chat/#sigrok-Soeren"
