Admin Log Apr. 5th, 2025 - M.U.D. - 04-05-2025
Greetings all,
We're still trucking along.
ATS looks like it has finally given up the 'ghost', so to speak.
I've been very busy with work and some other life changes I've been making, but I continue to check in regularly and, as usual, feel free to DM if you have an issue.
Thanks,

Interesting.
I wonder what is being done inside those servers right now?

I just tried again and got this....this is a new error from an hour ago for me.
Could not parse paths: invalid socket address syntax

So, this is basically the host DNS saying you are trying to communicate with something that doesn't exist. The reasons could be anything from a simple DNS table entry change, all the way up to an application (or series of applications) being removed completely.
It's kind of like..."All the lights are on, but nobody is home". Except in this case it would probably be more accurate to say..."All the lights are on, but Elvis has left the building".
The reason I make the distinction this way is because 'Elvis' doesn't own the building (he just comes there sometimes) whereas the first example assumes the person who isn't home is the owner. In other words, other people might be home at the building (in the analogy), but just not 'Elvis'. ATS, in this case, is 'Elvis'.
Probably a crummy analogy, but hopefully it makes sense.
edit - If someone didn't pay a bill, for example, a service provider might modify the DNS for an application to put it in a 'parking lot' or 'penalty box' until the issue gets resolved. They wouldn't necessarily remove the application, just make it inaccessible to other users. Conversely, if someone just outright cancelled a service, then a service provider might actually go in and remove the application entirely to free up space.
