Hello folks,
I wanted to know if anyone has any idea why distrowatch periodically goes down for days before returning.
I mainly use it to find out if some distros have updates to their ISOs but I find it very annoying that quite frequently it’s down completely.
Who watches the distrowatchmen?
It’s blinking
It’s just folks at microsoft are trying not to let people switch by ddosing the website. Nothing out of ordinary
Distros are ranked by pageviews iirc, so its probably the greedy neck beards trying to increase the rank of their fav distro, not the suits
It was just a joke
any idea why distrowatch periodically goes down for days before returning.
My guess is it’s run as a hobby by A Guy “on his own time and his own dime”.
