Failed retrieving database (SSL connection timeout)

[root@localhost]# pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 g14 is up to date
error: failed retrieving file 'g14.db' from naru.jhyub.dev : SSL connection timeout
:: Starting full system upgrade...
 there is nothing to do

I followed everything provided here:
https://asus-linux.org/guides/arch-guide/

Edit: My system clock is up-to-date and pinging naru.jhyub.dev works. It's not a problem with my internet (I think).

Have you tried using another mirror ? You can use Reflector to update the list of mirrors used by pacman.

You could run something like this to update your mirrorlist. Take care to replace the country parameter.

sudo reflector --country YourCountry --latest 30 --fastest 5 --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

I followed everything provided here:

Then ask the author of that guide. Neither 'g14' or 'naru.jhyub.dev' have anything to do wth Arch.

Re: Failed retrieving database (SSL connection timeout)

Ah yes sorry about that. It seems indeed that you have added a repository to Pacman. It indeed has nothing to do Arch Linux.

Are you able to access https://naru.jhyub.dev with your web browser ?

What is the output of

curl https://naru.jhyub.dev -vvv

Re: Failed retrieving database (SSL connection timeout)

That is reachable but the g14 mirror it hosts hasn't updated since september you probably want to drop it and use the "official" mirror: https://arch.asus-linux.org/
