XTreme Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Site is going offline for an hour or so to switch it to my main server! More power, more resources! This is The Style! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTreme Posted November 22, 2020 Author Share Posted November 22, 2020 Site's back......but some of you might have to wait longer if you've got crap ISP's! This has now gone from a 16GB/8CPU server in Michigan to a 32GB/32CPU server in London. I know the distance is a bit further for those of you in the US and Canada, but the increased speed displaying resources should more than make up for that. For those of us in the UK/EU the board will now be much quicker. The original plan was to eventually get it across onto the UK server, but I didn't want to do that initially because I honestly thought it wouldn't survive after the first lockdown finished in June. I was wrong on that so the time came to switch it before it got too big in terms of diskspace usage. As an indication, the site now uses 20GB of diskspace in only 7 months. So to leave it any longer would have taken hours to get it all across from the US. There we go......all done! You can now continue posting mindless shit with no interruptions! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I don't really know what these changes are all about as everything worked fine for me from the beginning, having said that: 41 minutes ago, XTreme said: I know the distance is a bit further for those of you in the US and Canada, but the increased speed displaying resources should more than make up for that.

Good work, Pete, thank's for everything! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Don't make much difference for me as I have a steam powered ISP that is slower than shit in the first place. Service is down every time the wind blows. But thanks for making it better for others! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
