Letter to readers
There’ve been strange things happening … weird scenes inside the goldmine. On X today, one lady Xer, part of the daily X rounds … there were no posts of hers since April 25th … yesterday there was the current plus all previous posts.
She thought it strange … however, she too had noticed weird things happening overall. Just now, I went to sign into HQ and got this:

Rather than rant about it, it’s more 🤔. I do know about certificates, which it says I don’t have … it’s possible one has lapsed, I’m going to have to ask my tech man about it. Thing is … I got into the site myself without issue … but so might have a scriptkiddy or two from a major platform have done so, to wreak a bit of havoc.
Why? Well, two reasons … firstly, everyone of our point of view who’s a pundit has reported strange things … I’m thinking they don’t want things talked about … the second being me personally … that notice was for me, not for you … but as our readers, it’s only fair you’re aware.
Action? As admin, I’ll explore and monitor but if you feel caution is the better part of valour, that’s understandable. Also, I may need to go to UHCWP for awhile, which puts us more directly under control.
Update at 1623
If you’ve made it here, then I’m going to advise that UHC is the main site just for now … two of our chaps opted to visit and comment … it’s up to you.
My cunning plan is to run Unherdables over there from 1700 today until 0500 tomorrow morning … I’ll signpost over there, whether or not the site is fixed.
It’s also not a bad trial run for what might happen permanently in June or a bit later … I wrote a post on it you might recall. If regulars know that if there’s a glitch longer than an hour at HQ, then first checkpoint is UHC-WP, second is NOWP, third is Jstack, fourth OoL, finally a comment under one of Julia’s posts at her place if everything else falls through … then all seems covered.
So, I’m heading over to UHC-WP now … hoping NOWP will still be in operation as well.
