All its things that communicate with outside services have been failing with dns lookup failures, though the services are still up. It is probably just a dns configuration mistake or perhaps an outbound firewall. Probably an easy fix if one of us can just log into that server......

Just checked, and for me it's working ok. I am one of the maintainers, though it's not me who had set the server up. As far as I know, the DNS configuration and the server itself is managed by the dlang.org admin.

The specific problem several of us have seen for a while is the "Shorten" button on the UI. Click that and the api thing return a 500 code (which on the ui is just the button apparently doing absolutely nothing) and the response is

object.Exception@../../../.dub/packages/vibe-core-1.8.1/vibe-core/source/vibe/core/net.d(71): Failed to lookup host 'is.gd'.

Very similar on "Export gist".

hmm, it is possible I'm wrong about the dns itself being the problem, maybe it something else - someone in the irc chatroom suggested it could be a bug in the vibe framework rather than a config issue cuz they saw it on another server before.

But still it is annoying that it doesn't work so wanna rule things out at least.

Ah, I thought you meant that there was DNS misconfiguration with run.dlang.org / run.dlang.io / tour.dlang.org subdomains (and not the internal DNS config).

Unfortunately, the URL shortening has been broken for a while:
https://github.com/dlang-tour/core/issues/739

I'll see what I can do.
