2017-07-09: Server failure and downtime

During the week our trusty old server finally gave up and died a heroes death. Luckily we were planning on migrating everything to new hardware so we were somewhat prepared. Unfortunately the server failure happened before we had migrated everything so crux.nu and related services were down for a few days. As of right now most things are back online with the exception of our mailinglists. We expect to have those back up within a few days.

In the meantime you can visit us on IRC for help with problems or questions. Freenode have a webclient that you can use to join the #crux channel.
