    Approximately 5 hrs ago, this forum experienced downtime due to scheduled Linode maintenance related to Meltdown/Spectre vulnerability patches on the VPS host node itself as outlined at Linode Status - Scheduled Linode Maintenance.

    The maintenance completed fine and Linode VPS server came back up for me and most visitors, though some may have still experienced the maintenance page for alot longer due to DNS caching at ISP level most likely.
