The GMP computers are maintained by a single person on a volunteer basis. The current situation with Intel Meltdown + Spectre hardware, Intel ME bugs/backdoors are making the GMP servers far from as secure as we'd like them to be. We don't have the time or resources to keep up with the bugs nor the financial resources to purchase safer hardware.
The system which runs this web server as well as mail server, mailing list server, firewall, etc, has an Intel E5-1650 v2 Meltdown + Spectre CPU with buggy Intel ME and it runs Xen with a poor history of guest escape vulnerabilities. Please keep that in mind when using the resources here.
Please understand that we don't take security lightly, but that we effectively are DoS'ed by sloppy engineering.
