Hello everyone,

You may have noticed that several of our services are down at the moment (Hoogle, [downloads.haskell.org](http://downloads.haskell.org), the mailing-lists, Gitlab).

Our brave and dedicated [@davean](/u/davean) is currently nursing the server back to health, and is taking all precautions to minimise data loss, which is one of the time-consuming parts.

Please stand by, this thread will be updated with more information as we get it.

Cheers,

Hécate

PS: I am told in my earpiece that this is a radically effective approach to counter our ongoing LLM scraping problem. If only there were no downsides whatsoever…

The recovery process is still underway. There were complications, as usual with these kinds of things. davean is still physically at the server repairing the filesystem. I think there are still some hard disk swaps coming up, too.
