Well, for people who have been running SKS lately -- Is dealing with GDPR requests something you have to deal with often on an ongoing basis? I cannot answer, as I shut down my server about two years ago (and neither my server nor myself are in Europe). Personally, I am willing to put my resources into maintaining a working decentralized keyserver network; of course, I am not _currently_ running a keyserver (that will probably change within the next week or two), and it won't do much if I'm the only one doing so. But, in order to rebuild a network able to withstand the migration to the 21st century... we must be willing not to kill the network to begin with! > That said, I think sks-status.gwolf.org is great, and deserves our support. > I notice that it is currently failing, perhaps because the URL that you were > using as your initial node is no longer available?

Small catch -- About a month ago, you answered my previous mail pointing out my code didn't correctly parse Hockeypuck's status (because, yes, it uses a different DOM). I had to take the opportunity to update my scripts to be able to deal with this difference. So, win-win :-D I have not yet addressed all the points you pointed out in that mail, but at least it's working again.
