bloom Website Down?

[lkoepsel]

Hi, I've been attempting to get to your website for a few weeks and it appears down.

Is bloom.oscillate.io down?

Thanks! Lief

Hey Lief,

I'm very sorry about this. The website works fine for me, and looking at the server logs, it's also working for others, so I'm not entirely sure what's happened here, but my guess is that you've been caught up in a blanket ban that I've had to resort to lately.

Long story short: back in December, I placed a protest banner on the website. Some time after that, I began to notice some bad actors attempting to breach the server. I decided to employ the "sledge-hammer approach" and firewall off entire ISPs that were facilitating the attacks. I suspect you may have gotten caught up in this.

Could you please share the name of the ISP you're currently using? I will update my firewall rules accordingly.

Thanks,

No problems, completely understand. I was much more worried about lack of access! :)

Here’s my data: My Public IPv4:[REDACTED] My Public IPv6: Not Detected My IP Location: [REDACTED] My ISP: [REDACTED]

I’ll working on curriculum for a class on digital design and I’m hoping to be able to add content as to how to hardware debug. Your work is outstanding and would be great for helping students understand embedded microcontrollers.

Thanks! Lief

Thanks for that, Lief.

I've found a firewall rule that was indeed blocking your IP address. I've just removed it - could you please try again? Please let me know if it works.

Thanks,

Yes, it works!

And I empathize, words fail me as to what is happening.

Thank you, LIef

Excellent, thanks for confirming!

BTW I pushed the first major release, v1.0.0, in September. Lots of cool new stuff: https://github.com/bloombloombloom/Bloom/releases/tag/v1.0.0

As it was a major release there are some small changes needed to migrate old projects over. More details can be found at: https://github.com/bloombloombloom/Bloom/discussions/89

If you do decide to give it a try, please let me know if you have any questions 😄

Will close this now 👍🏽
