I believe I saw somewhere that slashdot is having issues at present.  

Ah, googling slashdot having issues brings me this.

We've been having site performance/uptime issues including a DDOS earlier
in the week (Slashdotted?). DevOps working round the clock until we're back
at full capacity. No ETA but hopeful for sometime Saturday. Rumors of our
demise are greatly exaggerated. Thanks for your patience 

that was from their twitter page.

Most pages I try to go to return the following:

  503 - Service Offline
  Slashdot is presently in offline mode. Only the front page
  and story pages linked from the front page are available in
  this mode. Please try again later.

whether using Chrome or FF 52.6.0 or the current beta 59.0b14.

I get to slashdot.org, but I get a page where the most recent posting
is from Thursday.

[CentOS] Web site not responding with Firefox 52.6.0 (64-bit)

[dsavage]

I don't know if this is a CentOS7/Firefox problem or one with the distant
web site slashdot.org. I can connect to it just fine with the latest
Firefox on my Windows 10 desktop PC, but not with Firefox 52.6.0 on this
CentOS 7.4 laptop. This has been an on-going problem for several weeks.

Google search results are sketchy. slashdot.org may have been a DDOS
target today, but as I write this network monitors say it's up and
running. RC4 deprecation may be a factor, but I doubt it. I can traceroute
to the site just fine, and its URL resolves with no trouble.

The error message I'm getting is "The connection has timed out"

The URL I've used forever is:
https://slashdot.org/index2.pl?fhfilter=journal=autorefresh=1

I'm stumped. Does this sound familiar to anyone in CentOS land?
