FDCPS Severe Outrages thread

[AMDave]

The old address cannot be forwarded to an A-name address and I cannot get a fixed IP address in a short period of time.

So, for the foreseeable future the FDCPS project will be on http://fdcps.no-ip.org/

You will need to change the hostname in your llr-clientconfig.txt file to "fdcps.no-ip.org" to get pairs from the ports.

Please post here if you have any issues.

The FDCPS server is running but a planned network change did not go to completely to plan yesterday so it is not available yet.
The old DSL modem couldn't handle the higher rate any more and failed to hold sync.
The new router is working fine but it won't update the dynamic DNS automatically.
I should have the work-around completed today.
But fast?
The connection updgrade is completed and the connection speed is much higher (d/l 5x, u/l 1.2x) and the available usage ceiling is much higher too (4x)
So well worth a few troubles of adding a DNS work-around.

There was a local unplanned power outage this morning that lasted for about 5 hours.
When the server came back up the clock was wrong and it performed the next roll-over before it was scheduled to.
I fixed the clock and re-tagged the extra set of files so they won't get overwritten when tonight's roll over occurs on schedule.
Happily the only person inconvenienced was me

In around 16 hours from now, there will be a planned FDCPS outrage of about 1 hour to complete a number of software upgrades and hardware maintenance.
