time server

Apparently so because I am getting the same error here. I can't do anything about it, Ian will need to fix it. For now, there are some alternate servers listed in this post:

wow, so the provider where I was hosting it has gone out of business, and just turned off the machine.

Here is an alternative while I set up a new one:

its.internet-box.ch/getTime/Europe/Zurich

Of course you have to change only the "time-zone-server.scapp.io/" into "its.internet-box.ch/", the rest stays the same.

Some of the more recent versions of firmware, for certain kits, are able to use Posix-style time from NTP. But most of the slightly older kits in the wild can only use Olson time, as provided by time-zone-server.scapp.io/ and similar servers.
