[sf-lug] Website itself and others hosted on BALUG.org's VM?

[Al]

I am not having that problem.
The one I have problems with is svlug.{com,org} which seems to have 
fallen off a cliff.  I think Rick has already given a postmortem on this.

{sf[-]?lug.{org,com,net},balug.org} however is the subject of automated 
testing from here (pings every 60 seconds, complicated analysis of NS 
etc. every 10 minutes), and although I see reboots occasionally, I 
haven't seen any access problems.

Here's a manual query over the AT&T Enterprise Network which is typical 
of the response I get (I threw linuxmafia in for comparison):

time wget sf-lug.org -O - |& wc
      89     607    5326

real    0m0.078s
user    0m0.004s
sys     0m0.004s

time wget balug.org -O - |& wc

Here is Comcast Business:

time wget balug.org -O - |& wc

real    0m0.149s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.004s

time wget linuxmafia.com -O - |& wc
     496    1835   41174

I saw the Java problem in Log4j but don't have any information on it 
except that it is reputedly serious.
I did get this posting since I'm on the Krebs mailing list:
https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/12/microsoft-patch-tuesday-december-2021-edition/

It strikes me that one would have to expose this system to the outside 
world (which apparently many do) or already have a problem inside one's 
network, but I haven't looked into it.
