Main TidBITS site is down?

@ace, you are probably already aware of this, but the main TidBITS site seems to be down. I’m getting this no matter what page I try to go to:

Safari 13.1, Mac OS 10.14.6

Are others having the same issue, or is there some strange issue with my Mac?

Still happening at 6 am Central

Thanks, folks. It’s a database server issue that cropped up while I was asleep. Working on it now.

Turns out it was a stuck backup at our hosting provider that caused a storage issue that in turn caused issues for the database server.

We use Arcustech for hosting, and I have to say, their support has been very good.

Glad you were able to sort it so quickly!
