Squidge.org Webhosting Is Back! After our self-imposed 24 hour downtime due to PHP vulnerabilities, we have patched our PHP versions, and are back! All sites should be up and functioning. If you see something, please log a ticket. Thanks! https://blog.squidge.org/archives/480

FYI, due to PHP vulnerabilities, all webhosting services on Squidge.org (including Squidge Images, custom domains, etc) are DOWN. They will be back ASAP once patches are released.

IF You want a Squidge Images Account Please remember that Squidge Images accounts are available for signup from 10am to 2pm Pacific Time, and again from 10pm to 2pm Pacific Time. During that timeperiod, go to and you will be able to sign up for an account. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO GET AN ACCOUNT […]

The Whole Squidge Images Debacle, A Post-Mortem Before this goes any further, I would like to give my sincerest apologies to the following users: ratkingpoe, Himbonotes, cassieoh, haid3018, and the last user which was accidentally deleted and not banned so I do not have their username […]

After my apology and explanation is posted, I will be deleting previous consent screenshots, etc. so that everyone is on the same page.

Squidge Downtime Complete! The move back into our little datacenter is complete, and things seem to be stable. As always, log a ticket if you see oddities. https://blog.squidge.org/archives/463

Squidge.org Short Downtime Sunday September 13th Now that all THAT is done and things seem stable, tomorrow we're going to have a short downtime to move the new Squidge.org server and all of its services back into our little datacenter. That means taking it down, disassembling a few things, and […]

Squidge Status and Squidge Images Signup Information Our final few items seem to have come and gone, so as of now, Squidge should be just fine. The Squidge IRC daemon is up and running, and has been validated. Host remains the same: squidge.org or irc.squidge.org, port 6667 Webmail is up and […]

Sympa/Mailing Lists Up and Running On top of all other items that are once again running, all Sympa/Mailing lists are now populated and running. You can send messages and have them go out just like before. That said, our mail backup service (which holds email until it can be delivered to […]

Squidge Upgrade: Status The Squidge.org upgrade is mostly complete. For most people, you have access to what you need, from Squidge Image, the Jinjurly Archive, and other web services. Here's a list of what I'm still working on, and why: Mailing lists: There are two parts to this that need […]

RE: https://fandom.ink/@squidgeorg/117232112615899365 Huzzah - one more package fixed the sendmail problem, so that's done. Sympa (Mailing Lists) remain down, including the web interface. If I'm not mistaken, that might be the last thing (other than old sites needing PHP < v8) needed. Let us […]

RE: https://fandom.ink/@squidgeorg/117231901081609962 ALL Webservices on Squidge.org (homepages, archives, etc) have been made available. But please note that some older sites that are dependent on lower versions of PHP may not be working. Sympa (and the list interface) remains down for the […]

RE: https://fandom.ink/@squidgeorg/117231895588016243 Support is up, but I'm not 100% sure it will be sending emails so we're checking. https://support.squidge.org

For those that use Squidge for email: 1) You can download/accept email from Squidge.org 2) For some reason sending of email is bombing. I'm working on it. 3) Sympa mailing lists software is NOT up yet. That's next OH, and Webmail may or may not be up right now (it's on the list)

Squidge Images and Jinjurly Audiofic Archive are both now up. There is no support webpage at the moment, so please if you see any issues, please let me know here or on Discord. More updates will be made as a reskeet/repost of this entry.

All RAID structures are complete; just have to wait while it's internal journal finishes behind the scenes. The machine is online but disconnected from everything as I finish the configuration of ::waves hands:: EVERYTHING. Hopeful ETA is 12Noon Pacific Time. Cross your fingers!

REMINDER! Squidge.org, along with Squidge Images, Jinjurly Podfic Hosting, Personal Webpages, Email, and Sympa Mailing List Server will ALL BE DOWN starting Sunday Sept 6th, 2026 starting at 6am Pacific Time for up to 24 hours (longer if things go pear shaped).

Complete network failure at my ISP. No ETA.

Woke up to a power outage today, affecting all systems. ETA is currently 90 minutes from the time of this post.

About an hour ago we went down for about 20 minutes, but things should be up and running smoothly now. We had a power issue (electrician is testing some things) so we had to flip the breaker. And while most items are protected via battery backup, one of our systems blurped and didn't […]
