Anyone know what happened to the SETI website?
Did they decommission it without us knowing?

It's still unreachable.

As if the AI induced shortages in RAM, NAND, HDDs and CPUs and motherboard availability aren't enough, now it's optical fibre.
Apparently AI datacentres require 36 times more fibre than what is required by normal datacentres.

Major Chinese optical fiber manufacturers have booked orders stretching into early 2027, as AI data center construction drives demand growth that the supply chain cannot match
...
Data center fiber demand grew roughly 76% year-on-year in 2025, according to CRU data cited by various industry publications, and the segment is projected to account for 30% of total global fiber demand by 2027. In 2024, that figure was below 5%.
...
Unfortunately, manufacturing optical fiber preforms, the glass rods from which fiber is drawn, is a technically demanding process with high barriers to entry. New preform capacity typically takes 18 to 24 months to build, according to industry sources cited by DigiTimes, which limits near-term supply regardless of how quickly downstream cable production can scale.

Compounding the bottleneck, manufacturers have shifted production from standard G.652D fiber used in telecom networks to higher-margin G.657A fiber suited to AI data centers and drone applications. That reallocation has created secondary shortages in conventional telecom-grade fiber and contributed to broad price increases. Global fiber prices have risen roughly 70% from a 2021 trough of $3.70 to approximately $6.30 per fiber-kilometer.

And we are yet to feel the impacts of the of the disruptions already caused by the goings on in the Strait of Hormuz, and the longer it takes for things to be sorted out there, the greater those impacts will be
We are living in a seriously f($#^@)*# world.

Severe glass shortages push cable lead times out to a full year.

What happened to Stop, Look and Listen before crossing?
Witness describes septic truck crashing into train in Virginia; driver seriously injured
Video embedded in article.

Video shared with WAVY by (a) viewer shows the truck starting to drive across the track when the train collided with the rear of the truck, splitting the tank from the cab and sending both into a nearby ditch. Contents from the tank can be seen spilling onto the ground.
