    cPanel Wordpress update failures

    An automatic Wordpress update has caused a couple of of sites hosted on cPanel to break. While this issue is not related to Hornet, we post this here as notification.

    For more information, see https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/61489. If your site is affected, you can fix it yourself by replacing wp-includes/default-filters.php with the correct one from the Github mirror (note the version!): https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/blob/6.5.5/src/wp-includes/default-filters.php. You can use the wordpress CLI tool to verify the file checksums in your installation.

  • This issue should no longer occur.

  • It appears that an automated security patch applied by Patchman caused this issue, which is related to the use of an older Wordpress version. While they are working on a fix, we recommend all Wordpress users to upgrade their site to the latest available version.

    Homeserver Matrix outage and performance issues

    Performance issues encountered during the regular cleanup are causing the homeserver to have severe performance issues.

  • Mitigations have had effect. Performance should be back to normal.

  • We have identified the issue and are working on deploying workarounds on our infrastructure.

  • We have reconfigured the homeserver to prioritise client requests. Clients should be somewhat functional, but messages between utwente.io and other homeservers experience significant delays (up to several hours).
