I run Planet Linux Australia because the previous operators gave up on it (see 
the above URL).  Since 9PM last night it has been getting errors on Julien 
Goodwin's blog (the only Live Journal blog used).  In a test the Debian/Buster 
chroot used for the Planet installation (software that isn't supported in 
Debian/Bullseye) was given HTTP response 403 from Live Journal.

Here's what happens when I try to use wget to get Julien's feed on Buster:

Bullseye got the same result.

Here's what happens with Debian/Testing:

So it seems that as of last night the LiveJournal server changed something to 
reject wget and Planet running on Debian/Buster and Debian/Bullseye.

A quick test on my server on the Oracle Cloud showed that Ubuntu/Focal (20.04 
- released in 2020) works with wget.

Any ideas on what this could be?

Also Julien, you haven't blogged for almost 3 years, are you planning to start 
doing so again and if so will it be on LiveJournal or some other service?  You 
have one of the better blogs, it would be good if you chose to blog again.
