Who are you?
See this page.
I cannot access your website!
There might be several reasons for this:
- Our IP address has changed. Wait a few minutes until the DNS record is refreshed.
- Our router or server are currently rebooting to apply updates. Wait a few minutes.
- We messed something up, or our hardware is malfunctioning. We are likely already aware, and hopefully it will not take long before things are accessible again.
- Your ISP, government, or another entity that can mess with your network have blocked this domain or IP address. Try using Tor or a VPN.

How can I make sure I don't miss any of your posts?
