AG DSN

Today from 7:30pm onward we will swap out defective hardware of our network at Hochschulstraße 46. This will result in network outages, as always we will try to keep these at a minimum.

Due to the recent security issuese named "Meltdown" and "Spectre" we had to install last week multiple Updates to fix our systems. While updating we ran into a few issues wich lead to a few small network outages.

On Monday a service didn't restored properly after a system restart so the connectivity at Hochschulstraße was limited to those who connected their computer or router prior to the reboot.

In the evening a unexpected reboot of one of our servers in a critical moment lead to outage of Gret-Palucca-Straße and Neuberinstraße due to a routing issue.

Please excuse the inconvenience.

Begining with the 12/21 there will be no office hours until next year 01/03. The AG DSN takes a break for the holidays.

If there are emergencies you can still contact us via email. You find the contact form over here.

The AG DSN wishes you happy holidays and a happy new year. We look forward to the next successful year with you.

Due to our general assembly there will be no office hours on Thursday, 2017-12-14.

We're going to perform maintenance work in our dormitory Fritz-Löffler-Straße 16 on the 10th of December 2017 between 13:00 and 15:00. During this period connectivity issues and outages are to be expected.

On the 14th of December 2017 at 7pm a general assembly of the AG DSN will take place at our NOC on Räcknitzhöhe 35.

Topics of the meeting will be:

• A proposal to increase the membership fee to 5,00€ per month.
• Passing the budget for 2018.

All details and the agenda can be found in the invitation (in German).

For those who pay every six month, the next payment is due now. If you are not sure if you paid already you can check your current balance after logging in to our website. You can find the details needed for the transfer on the page of the membership contribution. Please pay attention to the payment description as we need it to match the payment to your account.

If you face yourself blocked because of a missing payment don't panic. Get the necessary information at the membership contribution site, pay attention to the payment description and after you transferred the money send us the payment receipt (e.g. as a pdf, photo, screenshot) to support@agdsn.de . We do our best to process these eMails fast. It takes usually two workdays until the money is transferred to our account and we process incoming payments every evening.

Due to many students moving in, our office at Wundtstraße is opened today from 11am to 1pm and from 3pm to 8pm.

Due to some misconfiguration, from 2017-09-23 to 2017-09-29 not all support mails have been imported into our ticket system correctly. Therefore it might take longer than usual until you get a reply to your inquiry. No mails have been lost and it is not necessary to resubmit them.

To speed up the registration of all the new people arriving for the new semester, our offices at Wundtstraße 5 and Hochschulstraße 46 will be open all day on Monday (2017-10-02).

But not only new members are welcome, we are always looking for new volunteers. If you would like to see and learn how a network for 3000 users is run, have a look! There will be tours through our tech rooms and fresh waffles.

From the 1st of October we will be running the network of Gret-Palucca-Straße 11.

Since the student house will not yet be inhabitable by then, new tenants will have to move into GPS 9 temporarily. The Studentenwerk will no longer provide new connections at GPS 9, but we have taken measures to ensure network access for our members at GPS 9, anyhow.

So, if you are a future tenant of GPS 11:

1. Sign up for membership:

   • Read about the registration process.
   • Fill the form twice, put in your future GPS 11 address, sign it, hand it in.

2. Connect to our network at GPS 9.

3. Move into GPS 11 - no further action required, if gave us the correct GPS 11 room on the form.

Existing GPS 9 tenants can continue to use their Stutentenwerk network connection until they move into GPS 11. Once you live there, you will have to sign up with us or some commercial provider.

We plan to outfit GPS 11 with the new network hardware on October 19th. If you are interested in our volunteers work and would like to help, get in touch or just come over!
