Ongoing. It is not "down" but purposefully offline for "maintenance." Main status does show the LMS (all the course stuff) down, and my instance shows "up" but that's because (I assume) you can reach it and the maintenance page. But that's not useful, if technically not "down."
I didn't have issues with sleep/wake until somewhat recently (not sure when) and found this post. Grabbing the patch from the commit referenced and using it on top of 6.12 and 6.13 kernels seems to have fixed it for me too (for the past couple of weeks and counting).
After not getting a faculty job (and after a couple of postdocs) a wrote an essay about failure in academia. At the urging of a friend, I pitched it to a place that liked it and published it. The response was really surprising to me, all the kind random messages I got. And someone asked if I wanted to apply for a job opening they had, teaching writing at a university. A couple of weeks later I had moved and was in the classroom, the last place I expected to be. It was teaching in an area I never expected and not research in my field, but I've always enjoyed the teaching part of university life.
And that story, along with all the rest here, is what I tell my students about putting work out there. Good and surprising things happen!
In my quick view, this is more cleaned up and easier to read at smaller sizes. (You might lose some of that "old magazine" feel, if you prefer that, though.)
