Paru/yay update issue

General system

Since a few hours I see an error while trying to update my system:

This happens also with yay. I tried it on two different computers. Any idea what this is about?

The AUR server is currently unavailable.

Edit: … and, it’s back.

Edit 2: Caused by Pamac, https://gitlab.manjaro.org/applications/pamac/-/issues/1017

Yes, it was the AUR and it is up again.

By the way, during this incident I found an interesting webpage:

Wow. Apparently Pamac started sending partial strings - with each and every every keypress - to find “package suggestions”…

 20:50:20 <Foxboron> grazzolini: ohhh, omg. They hit the AUR for suggestions!
 20:50:29 <Foxboron> partial strings get sent to the AUR!
 20:50:55 <Foxboron> that is hillarious

Some nice programming, there: integrated DDoS. :man_facepalming::rofl:

I love how random stuff is getting posted into the issue like it is a forum post…
