If an Elektronaut uses song mode, but there was no one around to hear it, did it make a sound?

Did the website get hacked? Now, from an emotionally numb standpoint, this somehow no longer feels like random unscheduled server maintenance.

nah, it’s probably some ruby error that kill the web server and it needs to be restarted, my guess it’s a background job that throws some error or something like that.

This sounds like a reasonable scapegoat. I wouldn’t doubt there may be something to this, but speculation isn’t productive, so I guess I’ll make no assumptions.

It’s Monomachine fans DDoS’ing Elektron servers with petitions for a mk3.

The sysadmins got sick of “will there be OT mk3?” threads and pulled the plug

Hopefully not ransomware, but if it is, I hope elektron don’t pay up, and we can all spend some time away from the forum doing more productive things. Win-win.

Over a weekend, so maybe people just weren’t asked to work too hard to fix it when they should have been relaxing.

i was bug hunting as an appetiser, 12h later already fixed, epic sound. macOS issue · Issue #6 · midilab/jc303 · GitHub
and a nice way to test ableton LFO’s

maybe? but elektron pays for web hosting, so that would mean the company who is most impacted by the outage is primarily the host and then their clients. that would mean the host doesn’t really care about their clients because it’s the weekend. that doesn’t sound right. although that may just be the real world so it doesn’t have to sound right to be true…

unfortunately the reality is you kinda have to update, there are constant security patches being rolled out for pretty much everything and you have to update otherwise bots constantly try exploiting these things and that’s potentially worse then dealing with update issues.

the models are security fortress though… I think…

What are they asking for? OTmk3? More LFO’s? Put Ep-133 slider in Elektron boxes?
