The Garden Is Down

[pipetogrep]

It appears that Macintosh Garden is having issues. It redirects to spam my ad sites. I’m guessing they had a DNS hijack happen.

Sorry for any inconveniances until it gets resolved

See here.

It will be back up, and if you need to access it apparently you can of you link it’s IP to the domain in your hosts file.

Interesting. So the previous admin is no longer associated with it and sold the domain to a broker?

Who is the admin now?

There's a windy/whiny old story about that, doubt it would interest anyone 😛

That'd be me, I've been serving since 2014/2015, I think.. the years are just flying by

Honestly I am extremely curious about all this.. Should post it here or on the subreddit (my handle there is DarthRevanG4) I'd read it 🤷‍♂️

I'll compile the story one of these days and make it available on the subreddit, I guess it would explain some hows and whys

It was ransomware attack. Fogwraith states it should be back on monday, but if you type direct.macintoshgarden.org it will load.

It would interest me, as we had a situation for one of our Ukrainian software firms here in Lviv, but it was a ransomware where the original manager was termed and took revenge on the other managers.

Thanks @fogWraith for keeping it alive! I’m sure it can feel thankless sometimes. It’s a great resource and your work is really appreciated.
