The server hoster had taken down the server hosting the serverlist and the SVN, after 334 failed SSH login attemps (of course not mine). This does not seem to be a very high number in my mind, but he is the more powerful one, since he can decide what to do. He wants me to install fail2ban as well as changing to key login instead password.
Also becomes close to midnight here, so any action will not happen before tomorrow. Sorry.
The nnouncement server works again (and the SVN too).
