Re: Anyone know what is going on with the main RAT ratflector?


 

My ratflector (sttammany.ratflector.com) is already public and running on a raspberry pi.??I can¡¯t guarantee 100% reliability due to things beyond my control, such as power glitches or outages. (I live in an area prone to thunderstorms).??However, I do check it often and try to keep it available.??Sewx.ratflector.com is another public ratflector that is available for use.??Both are subject to being used for nets on Tuesday night in my case and Sunday night in the case of SEWX but they are available for use.??I mentioned the fact that RAT is having a problem mainly because there are a number of folks out there that install D-Rats and never venture beyond the one ratflector that is installed with the program and if that one is off line then they have just wasted their time for having a functional system.??Everyone needs to know about the alternatives or how to run their own ratflector if needed during an emergency in their community.

Keep in mind that most of us are not programmers and some of us are more technically minded than others.??A few are even fussbudgets (you probably need to be an old Peanuts fan to understand that reference) that will complain about everything, say this technology is worthless, or a waste of time, etc., because they have not figured out all the bells and whistles yet.

Like a lot of things, KK7DS, Dan, has just lost interest in maintaining, it appears.

?It appears that the (RAT) ratflector is having problems.? It is actively refusing connections at this time.
