Slashdot in 'offline mode' – anybody notice?

so https://www.slashdot.org hasn't been showing new stories for since yesterday mid-day. If you go to the firehose url of https://slashdot.org/recent it shows "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."

Am I the only dinosaur who turns to Slashdot for my daily news fix (along with Hacker News, of course!). Didn't find anybody posting on this on Hacker News nor on Twitter.. wondering if anybody's noticing, or just thinking it's a slow day.
