Looks like /r/datahoarder was backing it up just in time:

There is nothing good that come from this. We are headed for disaster, especially if bird flu or something else starts spreading quickly enough.

Like the tb outbreak happening now? The good thing is nobody will know it’s happening.

Like a penetration test or a security test, you don't know where you're out of compliance until you perform an audit; you don't normally shut down your site in the meantime.

The correct way to comply with this is to suggest that you don't believe that you're out of compliance, and to request specific guidance on which particular datasets aren't in compliance that should be removed.

Why does nobody refuse to follow these orders? They’re being issued by someone who flagrantly doesn’t follow the rules.

They’ll just be replaced with someone who does follow the order

Maybe. Maybe not. So call that bluff.

I wrote a webapp to pull your local covid wastewater data from cdc data. It's still working, so they either left their feeds in place or haven't gotten to them yet.

https://www.census.gov/ is also offline.

Is it? Seems up to me.

[edit] Oh, I see, the actual 2020 census data is down: https://www.census.gov/2020results

Says for maintenance.

The main site was replaced with a mostly empty blank page earlier today.

The bizarre thing was that the page source at that time had almost nothing except some odd javascript to build a "508 Daily Report" table of Jira tickets or some nonsense.

That view appears to still be up here: https://www.census.gov/main/

I can't really blame someone for a bad deployment given the raging government dumpster fires at the moment.

Lots of links seem down for "maintenance". Not just the 2020 census.

It was down, but it is back now.

Is the census data even available by other means nowadays? The census is a core constitutional requirement of the federal government.
