Are there any network-level non-nginxNGINX NGINX is open source software for web serving, reverse proxying, caching, load balancing, media streaming, and more. It started out as a web server designed for maximum performance and stability. In addition to its HTTP server capabilities, NGINX can also function as a proxy server for email (IMAP, POP3, and SMTP) and a reverse proxy and load balancer for HTTP, TCP, and UDP servers. https://www.nginx.com/. IP blocks in place on api.wordpress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/?

As mentioned previously in slackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/., @hostingsupport is experiencing api.wordpress.org blocking one of their servers, and it seems to be ongoing for a fortnight now. There’s mtr output in the thread.

What i have on my server (IP 93.84.119.244):
1) I can pingPing The act of sending a very small amount of data to an end point. Ping is used in computer science to illicit a response from a target server to test it’s connection. Ping is also a term used by Slack users to @ someone or send them a direct message (DM). Users might say something along the lines of “Ping me when the meeting starts.” api.wordpress.org (DNSDNS DNS is an acronym for Domain Name System - how you assign a human readable address to a website’s exact numeric coded location (ie. wordpress.org uses the actual IP address 198.143.164.252). resolves correct 198.143.164.251 ip address)
2) curl https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt/ (or just simple curl http://api.wordpress.org) gives timeout on both http and https requests
3) telnet api.wordpress.org 80 (or telnet api.wordpress.org 443) – also timeouts
4) other WP-resources such as downloads.wordpress.org, developer.wordpress.org – accessible without any errors (by ping, telnet, curl etc.)
5) checked firewall on my server – 198.143.164.251 not blocked from my side
6) checked access to api.wordpress.org from other servers (same network) – everything is ok.
Is it possible to delist my IP 93.84.119.244 from that blocklist, or guide to right direction how to solve this problem?
(never faced with this problem before, first connection errors in wp-logs are dated 10th nov 2020 13.30 UTC, problem still persist)

FYI: WordCamp Let’s Encrypt `india/2020` bug fixed.

The bug where india.wordcamp.org/2020 ended up in the Dehydrated endpoint (instead of just india.wordcamp.org) is now fixed.

No action needed on my part, just an FYI.

Backup uploads for w.org and wordcamp.org

Hi 👋🏻 I’d like to following up the lost make/Training files.

Were backups ever enabled? If not, can you please enable them for:

  • all sites on the w.org multinetwork
  • wordcamp.org
  • wordpressfoundation.org

As a general rule, I think it’s safer to assume that a site does need backups, than to assume it doesn’t.

Could I please get a deployDeploy Launching code from a local development environment to the production web server, so that it's available to visitors. on the #codex?

RevisionsRevisions The WordPress revisions system stores a record of each saved draft or published update. The revision system allows you to see what changes were made in each revision by dragging a slider (or using the Next/Previous buttons). The display indicates what has changed in each revision. [10700:10705] have added canonical and noindex tags, better 404 titles, and most importantly removed the permissions to create new Codex pages by regular users as it’s no longer being used for that (other than by spam bots). These changes were tested.

If the cache could also be cleared to remove the global survey r16681-dotorg and the above additions from the caches that would also be great.

Can we please enable SSL for lists.wordpress.org?

Currently the domain isn’t accessible over SSLSSL Secure Socket Layer - Encryption from the server to the browser and back. Prevents prying eyes from seeing what you are sending between your browser and the server., and it’s not uncommon for links to be SSL’d or for browsers to force SSL.

Force SSL for https://planet.wordpress.org/

Can we please enable forced SSL for https://planet.wordpress.org/ now that all the sites are SSL’d? Looks like the $maybe_force_ssl map just needs updating.
