Looks like the Astiga website is not reachable again. First of all: sorry. But this isn't under our control I don't think.
Looks like *all* .ga domains are not resolving right now.
My suspicion is that this is related to https://www.afnic.fr/wp-media/uploads/2023/05/ga-domain-names-soon-to-return-to-Gabonese-management-1.pdf - The Gabonese government is taking over management of the .ga TLD from Freenom (who mis-managed it) - although the takeover date is still in two day's time.
I'm going to copy these posts from Twitter here, because I know our Mastodon followers don't even want so much as to *sniff* the Twitter domain 😆 -👇️
Ok, going to start working on a workaround... I'll try pointing astiga.audio to the Astiga servers instead. Note that this *won't* fix the app, because that's hardcoded to asti.ga.
Remaining items (that I know of):
- The community seems to redirecting to asti.ga still. I think the config of custom domains in Vanilla is internal to its database, but will return to this.
- Update links to asti.ga in the website and play app
A summary of the current status:
- astiga.audio should be working as a temporary workaround.
- The community is not working yet.
- Sync and adding storage accounts should be working.
- The Android app isn't working.
Please let us know about other issues you find.
We're going to wait until shortly after the 7th to decide what to do about asti.ga. There's a possibility it's gone forever. #ANINF have said they will migrate domains on the 7th, so it's worth waiting.
aaaaaand... we're back!
(The web app should now be back up at https://play.asti.ga and the mobile app should now be working again).
So you own the site or are a cofounder?
Aw. I see. So how big is the site? Need help advertising or anything?
And how much is the cost? Btw, I emailed you (my email is [email protected])
Did my research and it is about $5.00 USD monthly which is actually pretty cheap.
@astiga as said many times before, kuddos for keeping everyone in the loop and doing what you could to keep things running.
Issues happen anywhere, and for something the size of #Astiga it's unexpectable to have the uptime precautions big companies use. This qoute from you however, sums up quite nicely why I'd still prefer a company like yours over #BigTech:
"Services where the customers and suppliers work together are those that develop for mutual benefit, and everyone wins."
