Interesting times, where is the beareu of meterology gone
Hello All, I had tabs open yesterday afternoon, watching the rain radar, then problem connecting. Since then have tried to ping bom.gov.au and nothing back. Has anyone heard anything. In similar vein, some other sites are a lot slower than they were, I have a number of webcomics I follow, and some are perennially slow, but some which were not slow have slowed, along with some business sites. This includes https//www.partsmart-corp.com/ who have been very slow to load. They have been very good, that is where I was able to get the pickup rollers, separation pads, all the output rollers and a fuser for a HP LJ 4Plus and keep a very good printer up and running. Regards, Mark Trickett

Again just tried the ping, and no connection, total loss of packets. May be able to get to some BOM servers rather than the main front end, but something not working.

OK so I just tried a series of pings, starting with the address URL of the radar page I had opened a few minutes ago.

No response to pings, but site is currently working. I find that troubling. Ping is a useful diagnostic. They may have found trouble with ping floods as a form of service denial. Regards, Mark Trickett

I have to leave that for others to address. I was trying to confirm that the site is running and not accepting pings. -- Keith Bainbridge keithrbaugroups@gmail.com or ke1thozgroups@gmx.com

I suspect that bom.gov.au is blocking ICMP requests, probably as there are services they wish to protect... xxxxxxx@gastron:~$ ping bom.gov.au PING bom.gov.au (134.178.253.144) 56(84) bytes of data. ^C --- bom.gov.au ping statistics --- 8 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 7055ms But, www.bom.gov.au on other hand is working fine... xxxxxxxx@gastron:~$ ping www.bom.gov.au PING www.bom.gov.au (23.202.161.36) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from a23-202-161-36.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com (23.202.161.36): icmp_seq=1 ttl=55 time=15.1 ms 64 bytes from a23-202-161-36.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com (23.202.161.36): icmp_seq=2 ttl=55 time=11.6 ms 64 bytes from a23-202-161-36.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com (23.202.161.36): icmp_seq=3 ttl=55 time=44.2 ms 64 bytes from a23-202-161-36.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com (23.202.161.36): icmp_seq=4 ttl=55 time=11.8 ms 64 bytes from a23-202-161-36.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com (23.202.161.36): icmp_seq=5 ttl=55 time=15.1 ms 64 bytes from a23-202-161-36.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com (23.202.161.36): icmp_seq=6 ttl=55 time=13.1 ms 64 bytes from a23-202-161-36.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com (23.202.161.36): icmp_seq=7 ttl=55 time=34.4 ms 64 bytes from a23-202-161-36.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com (23.202.161.36): icmp_seq=8 ttl=55 time=17.6 ms 64 bytes from a23-202-161-36.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com (23.202.161.36): icmp_seq=9 ttl=55 time=14.0 ms 64 bytes from a23-202-161-36.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com (23.202.161.36): icmp_seq=10 ttl=55 time=19.3 ms 64 bytes from a23-202-161-36.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com (23.202.161.36): icmp_seq=11 ttl=55 time=13.2 ms ^C --- www.bom.gov.au ping statistics --- 11 packets transmitted, 11 received, 0% packet loss, time 10015ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 11.655/19.079/44.209/10.017 ms Note the differing IP addresses reported by the two services. Also Keith, I'm pretty sure you can't ping a web page directly i.e. what you posted below is expected behaviour...

Thanks for reminding me to finish my proof-of-concept script to undo some of BOM's recent monetization changes; I just did so. See attached. Share and enjoy? PS: Q: what's gm? A: apt install graphicsmagick; it's a fork of imagemagick for, for a while, sucked less.
