We apologize for the website and mailing list down-time which is still affecting some regions. Our hosting and DNS provider, Gandi, has recently raised many privacy concerns and is demanding Photo ID to continue using their services. As such, we are changing our web hosting provider to a more privacy conscience one, 1984.is.
We have already migrated the domain name, but Gandi is still serving a stale DNSSEC record that is causing an issue with some name servers. We have requested they finish allowing us to transfer the domain and stop serving the false DNSSEC records to resolve this issue. Until this issue is resolved, our mail server and ability to receive messages has also been affected.
This has caused some delay in our release for v0.3, but we still have intent to ship early to mid September once all services have been migrated. This will ensure a stable update without further interruptions.
Thank you for your continued patience and support.

It includes a customised X.Org X server that utilises a dedicated _x11 user by default ...

As part of our commitment to provide a fully free (as in freedom) operating system that is stable, simple and "SECURE"; we hereby announce Hyperbola users are now mitigated against recently published Microarchitectural Data Sampling (MDS) vulnerabilities also labelled as Zombieland (CVE-2018-12130), RIDL (Rogue In-Flight Data Load) (CVE-2018-12127 and CVE-2019-11091), and Fallout (CVE-2018-12126) which controversially Intel has considered of "Moderate" severity. These flaws, if exploited by an attacker with local shell access to a system, could allow data in the CPU's cache to be exposed to unauthorized processes. While difficult to execute, a skilled attacker could use these flaws ...
