Our #CQPweb server at cqpweb.lancs.ac.uk is suffering from issues which appear to arise from campus-wide problems that began just after 2 pm GMT. #BNCweb, the #LancsBox site, and misc other systems are also affected as it's the machine, not the program, that's misbehaving!

Techie details: a disk check was needed subsequent to the power outage, but it didn't run till I booted as root. Unfortunately the error message on *standard* boot was splendidly uninformative, or I'd have solved it hours ago...

(sorry this tweet is late, I posted on Mastodon in the afternoon, but a weird xwitter issue stopped me logging in here)

For anyone interested in the details: the server runs Debian and is still using bullseye, so an update to either bookworm or trixie is needed. My development machines are also in the process of shifting to trixie - so I can start using PHP 8.2 instead of 7.whatever bullseye has.

Big #CQPweb news: users on the Lancaster server cqpweb.lancs.ac.uk can now install corpora 2 or 3 times bigger than previously: 10 million words untagged, 2 million words tagged. #corpus #linguistics @CorpusSocialSci @LAEL_LU @LancasterUni

I don't tweet much any more, and probably won't in future except for important announcements. I'm also going to be duplicating #CQPweb announcements on Mastodon from now on (since twitter now seems all-in on being the discerning fascist's hellsite of choice). (link in reply...)

There will be a short period of downtime on Lancaster's #CQPweb, #BNCweb, and assorted toolstonight, starting shortly after 1 AM BST (midnight UTC). Reason: to reboot the system to attempt to resolve recent instabilities related to memory usage. Apologies for inconvenience...
