That may be a transparent browser override for them now, Johnny.
They'll have to explicily turn that off.

You're trying to use https. I don't have any https server, and when you
try that, you are essentially repeatedly hitting a port that do not
provide any service, and eventually you get blocked.
Stop trying to use https against Mim. :-D

I was out too doing some garden work...
Just cleared my cache and revisited mim.softjar.se -- no response,
eventually timed out with "server took too long to respond" or such

Yeah, you're also blocked.
I was out for a few hours. I'll lift your block now, and you can try
again, and I'll have some stuff captured that should allow me to
understand what is triggering it.

Johnny,
The DECnet circuit is still up without failure, but I too, get no
response at all from the mim.softjar.se website. I'm using Firefox on
Windows.
My external IP is 95.98.255.226 (odsw48.mywire.org)

Subject: [simh] MIM move...
As some people have noticed the last few months, MIM have been
difficult to reach.
It has come to the point where I just have to move the machine to a
new place, as I'm not having much success solving the current situation.
For people who maybe don't know, Mim is a PDP-11/74 (simulated) which
runs RSX-11M+. It is kindof a hub for Hecnet, as well as a resource
for anyone who wants to find documentation or information about RSX,
and also to find various software for RSX.
I will move Mim this weekend, and so it will be down for a while.
Hopefully this will be a fairly smooth operation, but I'll let people
know when it's going on, and my expectation is that it shouldn't be
more than a couple of hours.
Mim will also change address and name because of this. The new
address to reach Mim on will be Mim.SoftJAR.SE. This name should be
stable for the forseeable future. Physically Mim will move from
Sweden to the US east cost, and be living at LSSM. A big thank you to
LSSM and Dave McGuire in particular for helping out with resources
for this.
In practice, for everyone else, once the move is done, it means that:
. Any reference to Mim.Stupi.NET needs to be changed to Mim.SoftJAR.SE.
. Any multinet circuits connecting to Mim should adjust their costs.
See the HECnet information page on Mim about this.
. I will also create a new PyDECnet node at LSSM to act as another
connection point for people who might not be able to connect to
hecnet-1-1023.stupi.net, but which are still in area 1.
. hecnet-1-1023.stupi.net will still be around, and will still be
possible to use.
This do mean that area 1 will be more geographically spread out. Not
ideal, but I'm not expecting this to cause any major issues.
Performance for some might get a bit better or worse, depending on
various aspects and conditions. But in general, if people just keep
costs aligned with recommendations, things should work well.
Best regards,
Johnny
