Forum was down for a few days?

[georgem]

So why was the forum down for a few days, and why am I frequently being redirect in email to nf.bit when it is not active?

I tried to reach the forum the last 2-3 days, and couldnt.

Yes, it was down for a day or two because of the Heartbleed bug. Everything is fine now.

ok, but I still can't seem to reach nf.bit.
I never could.

Why mention it when it doesn't work?
(in notification emails that tell me that someone posted an answer to a thread, it often still posts the nf.bit link to the thread, that's why I am asking)

d/nf has this value:

Code: Select all

{"map":{"":"94.23.252.190"},"fingerprint":["14:7D:31:8D:52:CD:43:61:32:91:F1:81:1B:C5:B9:CB:7B:25:4C:71"]}

As you can see, it uses "shorthand" representation in the "map" element. I'd guess that the resolver that you are using does not handle this representation properly. Just a guess.

I wrote this according to some example on the old wiki. If anybody has a suggestion on how to better format this I am all ears.

Perhaps it's not your fault, but the implementor of the resolver. I, too, recall that this format is allowed. The "non-shorthand" format would be, I guess

Code: Select all

{"map":{"":{"ip":["94.23.252.190"]}},"fingerprint":["14:7D:31:8D:52:CD:43:61:32:91:F1:81:1B:C5:B9:CB:7B:25:4C:71"]}

or even better

Code: Select all

{"ip":["94.23.252.190"],"fingerprint":["14:7D:31:8D:52:CD:43:61:32:91:F1:81:1B:C5:B9:CB:7B:25:4C:71"]}

it beats me why would anyone would need a map element with the key "". It opens a box of Panrora in conjunction with "import". Do you "import" first, or merge in the "" map element first? If you have another "import" inside the "" element, the final result will be different depending on the order of these operations.

I use meowbit.

It can't resolve it.
