Post by: stale on 29 Jun 2007, 15:31: it means if you can't reach oink.me.uk, it's because their domain name has been suspended. and it isn't because it's overdue for renewal.

Post by: amok on 29 Jun 2007, 15:35: People have been having trouble connecting to the site intermittently over the last couple of weeks. The staff are investigating but stale's whois suggests that The Man has intervened and pinched off their internet tubes somehow.

Quick fix for those who can't get on the site:

c:/windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts

open in notepad

add:

85.17.40.71 oink.me.uk
85.17.40.69 tracker.oink.me.uk
85.17.40.70 irc.oink.me.uk

Quick fix for those who can't get on the site:

I get this error:

Code: [Select]
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/include/bittorrent.php on line 1166

[I think so. Up here in North East Scotland we call them 'Lightning Boxes'.

Well, I doubt a man can make much livin' with a lightnin' box. Ye'll need to buck a real trade.

Post by: pilsner on 02 Jul 2007, 00:34: Thanks amok, that was helpful.

Even if nominet spiked oink's dns (to parrot the lingo from the threads) it's apparently nothing that couldn't be fixed by a move to another domain. DO NOT PANIC.

Ack, sorry dude, I have no idea what all those numbers and stuff do - just copying from the site, since it seems to have worked for most people. :?

Post by: Johnny C on 02 Jul 2007, 08:14: Well, it's working now! Problem solved I guess.

Post by: jeph on 02 Jul 2007, 11:37: Creepy! I just had a dream that OiNK went back up and I was all relieved.

(yes I have dreams about incredibly inane things shut up)

Post by: pi on 02 Jul 2007, 11:53: A possibly easier way to do this would be to just type http://85.17.40.71/ into your browser.

The tracker might not still work (for the bittorrents), but you can at least get to the site.

Post by: Johnny C on 02 Jul 2007, 18:08: I had a dream where I was at a Dairy Queen staff meeting and they told me that I had to be let go for budgetary reasons. I asked if I could still get a reference and they answered enthusiastically, saying it would be fairly good. I thanked them for the experience and we parted ways.

This was the entire dream.

Post by: est on 03 Jul 2007, 09:35: So uh, apparently Oink is changing domains to Oink.cd now.

Post by: est on 03 Jul 2007, 09:39: Also, I once had a dream that I was swimming through a water-filled tunnel. I came out at this small dimly-lit room where there was a bed and a cupboard. The bed was covered with water, but I climbed up on top of the cupboard in order to get out of the water & rest.
