I don't think that's quite fair. No server is 100% reliable, and that says nothing about the quality of the code of the project itself.

Let's not make excuses for them. I wouldn't say that it says "nothing" about the practices and priorities oriented around (and consequently through) the project, especially when the website apparently consists of a single small static HTML page.

  It's a project created and maintained entirely in my free time. I provide free support when someone needs help and I fix bugs when someone files an issue. I've written documentation and a guide in the project's Github wiki. This is all done outside of full-time work. Forgive me if I don't spend more time improving the website and uptime when it's an endeavour that brings me no income whatsoever. You're the type of person that makes me hate open-source sometimes.

    Don't have a cow, man, it's nothing personal. What does open source have to do with the reason your site was down?

      >Don't have a cow, man, it's nothing personal. I think that impugning the professionalism of someone's work because their project's home page was down once is pretty darned personal.

        I know nothing of anybody behind it, how could my intent possibly be personal?

        That argument doesn't hold water. I don't know you, but if I say "From the looks of your page many9s.com , I'd say you're an amateur with no design sense", then I'm personally attacking you.
        rhizome 15y ago
        Right, because you're making it personal. How is it that you go from a simple webpage to a person's skills? I certainly didn't do that.

    Was it down when you visited it?
    - chrisohara 15y ago
      If it looks terrible, it's not professional quality. Right?

It says nothing. All servers go down from time to time. This one was up when I went to it before, and it was up when I tried it again just now. You say it was down for you when you visited it. Fine. That happens sometimes.
